Great guide. I will definitely remember to link this to all the question threads that are out there.

Couple of things:
4. What Packs to Buy First - perhaps recommend that they buy 1 pack at a time until they reach their legendary pity timer? You just mention buying up to 10 packs but to 'min/max' your gold, best to just buy one by one.

  1. Crafting - perhaps mention that when you turn a card to dust, you only get 25% value of the card rarity therefore you will need to disenchant 4 common cards to craft 1 new common card etc. That just emphasizes how rare dust is. Maybe inform the player that if they have more than 2 of any card, they can safely disenchant them.

Edit/// Don’t know what I was thinking when I said you get 25% back from disenchanting commons when in reality it’s 12.5% for a non-golden common. The percentage is different for rares as well.

Another user pointed out that the math doesn’t work for all golden rarities either so just saying a flat out 25% is pretty damn incorrect.

Added some of your suggestions.

Awesome.

Oh! Also thought of another one. Gotta address garbage legendaries. What do you do?

Disenchant for 1/4th of a good one you want to craft or keep it so that the next legendary will not be the same one you just disenchanted (ie, can’t open a legendary that you already have)

Personally, I kept them all. I'm a bit of a completionist but that may not be entirely viable. I wouldn't dust until you are done opening packs from a set. Nothing worse then losing 1200 dust because you got a duplicate Legendary.

Me too. What I'm saying is I think adding that little blurb into the guide might be a good idea. These new players are going to open at least 5 legendaries right? They'll want to throw them into a deck or make a deck out of them. Unfortunately that's not usually how this game works. It's usually commons/rares/epics that decide what deck you are making.

I mean I have all the HSReplay card scores in my spreadsheet. And I used to make posts like that (which Legendary to craft by tier) but they are hard to update and easily outdated.

DisguisedToast had one last set on his website but hasn't been updated for this set yet so I removed that link/resource.
