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.

October 2023

I didn’t expect to have to break down every single bundle in this category, but here we are. Within each section below is a brief description and analysis of the particular bundle.

This time, instead of the regular mystery variant in the bundle, we got its premium version, which is different in this way:

  1. You can’t get a pixel variant from it
  2. 3 out of 9 variants will be from super rare variants pool (1,200 gold)
  3. 6 out of 9 variants will be from rare variants pool (700 gold)

So the average price of such a variant is 867 gold, making this bundle equally favorable for both cosmetics and progression.

It’s still not the best way to spend your money, but at least it’s more profitable than buying just 700 Gold from the shop.

For the perceived price of $15, this bundle is barely better than standard in-game shop prices. While it offers enough for its price, it’s not enough if you look at any other $15 bundle. Better take a look at something else.

Even having the premium mystery variant doesn’t help this bundle much, as for this price we usually see much better content.

Another case where the bundle has a lot of value, but in reality your $5 could have been invested in something better. A random variant can both please and disappoint you, and the Credits probably give too little impact for you to make the decision to buy it.

This is an interesting bundle, but not because it’s worth buying. It’s the first time a Mystery Pack bundle will be sold for Gold instead of USD.

As for the bundle, it’s basically the standard Gold to Credits conversion that is available to you at all times, just with a random variant on top. The price of 1,000 Gold can be worth a lot more than that if you buy something else.

This is another Mystery Bundle for Gold, but this time it offers less progression value than the in-game shop. Of the 2,000 Gold spent, you could invest 1,400 Gold to buy a Token Tuesday containing the same 1,000 Collector’s Tokens, and convert the remaining 600 Gold into 750 Credits. This bundle is at least 150 Credits short of being acceptable in terms of progression value.

And while Premium Mystery variant helps improve things a bit, this bundle still remains a controversial purchase.

This bundle, costing 10 USD, would be a great deal if cost a matching 700 Gold! But for USD bundles, you want to see a lot more content. 1,250 credits is not a very flexible currency, and the variant is very random. The bottom line is that the value per dollar is not too bad, but at an pretty average level.

Now this is not a bad bundle! The Credits aren’t bad, and the Gold is great. Their quantities match the price, and you get a random variant on top. Overall, this is a good deal (albeit with an element of randomness).

Compared to Mystery Pack #7, this one looks like a joke. For the same price, you get 250 more Gold but 1000 fewer Credits. This is not an equal exchange at all, so you’d be better off not spending your money here.
