Guide
Although Mystery Pack bundles differ slightly within each price category, we can draw conclusions about them depending on the cost. So we can distinguish the following categories of Mystery Pack bundles:
- $5 Mystery Pack
- $10 Mystery Pack
- $20 Mystery Pack
$5 Mystery Pack bundles are the worst of those presented. On average, such a bundle has 0.09 Tokens per Gold (in equivalent), a Progress Value of 1.7 and a Cosmetic Value of 2.0. The last two values on paper seem good, but in reality you need to understand that the Cosmetic Value is for a random variant and you may not get lucky with it. And the Progress Value is only in Credits, the number of which with the new card acquisition system will not get you much closer to getting a new card. On the contrary, you will get 0.02 less cards by buying a $5 Mystery Pack bundle than you would have gotten if you had invested that $5 in buying the Token Tuesday bundle.
Thus, we rate such $5 Mystery Pack bundles at 1.5 out of 5. A little more credits than spending that many dollars is nice, but the variant randomness and low progress on the number of cards significantly lowers the rating. We can only recommend it to those who want to add more random variants to their collection and are willing to spend money to get a bunch of credits as a bonus.
$10 Mystery Pack bundles, on the other hand, have an extremely high value of Tokens per Gold (in equivalent) thanks to the Collector’s Tokens. Because of this, you will get 0.13 more cards than if you spend the same amount in the shop without buying any other bundles (except Token Tuesdays). In addition, such bundles have a nice Cosmetic Value of 1.0 and a Progress Value of 1.9.
These values significantly exceed the values of Token Tuesdays bundles, so a $10 Mystery Pack bundle can definitely be considered as an alternative to Token Tuesdays. They not only give more progress, but also more cosmetics! Of course, it’s only true if you already spend money on Token Tuesdays. If not, then this bundle might make you think about buying some progress and cosmetics for this price.
As for $20 Mystery Pack bundles, all of a sudden they are slightly worse in value than the $10 ones. $20 Mystery Pack bundles have an average value of 0.83 Tokens per Gold, a value of 0.15 Card Difference, a Progress Value of 1.5, and a Cosmetic Value of 0.5. In general, all of the above conclusions about the $10 bundles are true here as well. But you should consider that these $20 bundles are still a little worse and you might want to buy two $10 Mystery Pack bundles rather than one for $20. Besides, for both $10 and $20 bundles, it’s true that you really need to spend every resource you get efficiently. Gold, Credits, and Tokens – all of that you should invest well to get the maximum benefit we’re talking about.
So, while being a worthy alternative to Token Tuesdays for dollars, these bundles still have their advantages (more value) and disadvantages (buying only for dollars, variants randomness, the importance of spending each currency effectively), so we think it’s fair to give them a rating of 3 out of 5. The lower rating than Token Tuesdays is fair, as today’s bundles for dollars have a lot more value on average, so you’re more likely to have a better choice for investing your money.
Thus, since we have 5 Mystery Pack bundles per month, two or three of which cost $5, one cost $10, and one or two cost $20, the average score of Mystery Pack bundles as a series of bundles is 2.5 out of 5. Unfortunately, the $5 bundles lower the score by a whole point, but if you ignore them, Mystery Pack bundles are pretty good and similar in value to Token Tuesdays, but only sold for dollars and have a bit more cosmetics.
