Here we have a bundle that has already become a traditional one, offering 3,000 Collector’s Tokens for 3,500 Gold. However, just like with the famous Pryde Before the Fall bundle, there’s an opportunity to get more value if you don’t have Nimrod! Let’s take a closer look.
This bundle confidently stands alongside the bundles priced at 3,500 Gold that offer Collector’s Tokens: Precious Private Eye, Pryde Before the Fall, Void Claw Vengeance, Artist Spotlight: Brett Bean.
And while they all provide the same Progress Value of 115%, Protocol: Termination stands out favorably from most of them, as it, like the Pryde Before the Fall bundle, can offer a variant for a Series 4 card that can be played instead of the base version of the card. So in this article, we’ll consider this scenario as well.
Comparison With Other Bundles
Looking at all the bundles from the past couple of years, as well as focusing on the last six months, the bundle shows good results and is above average, even if you already have Nimrod.
In its price category, the range of values is slightly lower, but the position of the bundle doesn’t change – it’s still above average.
When analyzing the recent bundles based on the Tokens-to-Gold ratio, it’s clear that the Protocol: Termination bundle is at the top compared to the other bundles, except for the recent Token Tuesday that was mistakenly released with an excessively high Progress Value.
The value of Series 5 cards per 700 Gold in this bundle is also quite good, and it falls behind only a small number of better bundles, while being significantly above average.
What if you don’t have Nimrod?
Now let’s look at the bundle from a different angle – if you’re a player who doesn’t yet have Nimrod in your collection.
In this case, the value of the bundle skyrockets to an impressive 229%! And of course, the bundle in this case significantly surpasses all other bundles in terms of Progress Value.
From this, we can conclude that if you don’t have Nimrod and would like to play decks that include him, the Protocol: Termination will be an excellent choice.
In this case, it’s completely reasonable that the value of Series 5 cards per 700 Gold also reaches an extremely high level, which can’t be matched by regular bundles that don’t include variants for Series 4 or Series 5 cards.
Nevertheless, please note that Nimrod is scheduled to be in a Spotlight Cache on February 25, so if nothing changes, you’ll still have a chance to get him in a month, especially if you’re also interested in other cards from the Spotlight Cache.
The Usefulness of the Variant in the Meta
Since you can use a variant for your decks even without having the base card, let’s quickly take a look at how Nimrod is performing in the meta. Unfortunately, Nimrod, once a card from a Season Pass, lost its popularity over time and is found only in Galactus and Phoenix Force decks.
However, if you’re interested in playing such decks, purchasing the bundle gives you a significant advantage and resource savings. Below are a couple of the most popular decks from the mentioned archetypes.

Conclusion
Thus, the bundle is decent on its own and becomes much better if you don’t have Nimrod but would like to get him now.
Due to the excellent ratio of Collector’s Tokens received to Gold spent (and with only 1-1.5 months of Gold accumulation), the bundle is perfect for those who don’t like getting cards from Spotlight Caches and prefer a more controlled way of obtaining cards through purchases in the Token Shop.
So I think it’s fair to give it a 4. However, I believe it’s important to note that we might be witnessing a renaissance of good bundles, as Second Dinner has been consistently releasing quite good bundles for some time now. If this continues in the future with the emergence of more and more good bundles, then in retrospect, the rating of the bundle could be changed to 3.5 stars, but unlikely to be lower.
Also, don’t forget that you can evaluate this bundle in comparison to others using a variety of different criteria, utilizing the special chart on the dedicated Protocol: Termination bundle page! Below is a detailed guide on how to use our tools to evaluate bundles on your own.
