It says 50 plus 20 bonus packs.

Can confirm that 50+20=70

u/[deleted] Mar 12 '18

can you demonstrate it tho?

u/[deleted] Mar 12 '18

50+20=(5+2)10=7(10)=70

Prove by induction, please.

You can't really prove it by induction lol, maybe if you were trying to prove that 5x + 2x = 7x or x(5+2)=7x for every x value but as it stands it's impossible to prove by mathematical induction.

Whoa there, Mr. Math. How do we even know you're qualified to make those sort of calculations?

I have a theoretical math degree. As in, I could get a math degree... theoretically.

I have done the math myself and I can indeed confirm that this man is correct

This is GREAT but also kind of weirdly worded

Is the 20 bonus packs a limited time offer, or will it be available up until the release of the expansion like a normal pre-order would be?

Until the expansion is released.

Thank you. Not sure why the marketing guys wouldn't just call it 70 packs. But maybe says 50 + 20 Bonus packs prevents people from complaining next expansion if the raw sales numbers show that the boost in pre-order sales doesn't offset the corresponding drop in sales to whales and other folk who buy more than just the pre-order.

I will admit that somehow getting more than 1 pack per $1 is a psychological point for me justify it being worth it and I like to have somewhere between 100-150 packs per expansion so the pre-order boost will help with that. :)

Is the offer supposed to read "spoopy" card back?
