What would you choose?
With Chaotic’s hopeful return in the near future I’ve been trying to figure out the best and most financially efficient way to build up my collection to something approaching the way it was back in the good old days, in case they decide to re-release the whole game all at once rather than a staggered release for new players to collect and play from the earlier sets forward (I can understand a full re-release but new players would get swamped with so many options and cards it makes more sense to me to release DoP and forward every few months, but that’s just my opinion).
Would it be wiser to try to spend money now to get boosters and cards (unused codes wherever possible) but run the risk of packs being much more affordable and available upon the return
OR
Try to buy packs then BUT run the risk of missing out on certain packs or something because of the great horde of fellow long standing fans and new players wiping out the stock before I can get to it? The first method is hella expensive since newer sets are less in supply (and quite pricey as a result) and some of the earlier ones are either no longer available or just so hard to find there’s no point in trying, but the second runs the risk of scalpers and fellow cardboard crackheads cosplaying the Plague of Locusts over Egypt and wiping everything out before I get the word.
What are your thoughts? Expensive now or risk missing out later?
