I'm not understanding what you are saying...if you have 150k and buy anything your stubs go down

You said
"Cards are cheaper...but stubs are less"
Except thats' not true for me, my stubs didn't go any less, they go FURTHER because cards are cheaper.

If your point is IF YOU BUY SOMETHING YOUR STUBS GO DOWN.
was that not true yesterday? or the day before? Saying stubs go down as you spend stubs is saying water is wet.

I mean you earn less stubs so cards being cheaper isn't much of a benefit

And the part that has me confused is you had 150k bought stuff but still have 150k...how is that possible?

How do I earn less stubs? They can't take away the 150k stubs sitting there waiting to be spent. So I don't have less stubs.

I don't have 150k in bought stuff, that's my point. I didn't buy anything because I knew it would get devalued,
So I still have my 150k on hand, yet I can buy MORE cards then I could yesterday because prices are cheaper.

Umm ok....the whole point I was making is the cards are cheaper but stubs are harder to come by...the fact that you are holding onto the stubs you already made and are not buying any cards had nothing to do with the point is was making

How does making cards cheaper make stubs harder to come by?
Let's use the prospect packs as an example.

Say the low tier was at 10k before they released the free packs, The free packs lowered them to quick sell at 5k.

Did I lose out on 5k because they released free packs? No, that is faulty logic. I wouldn't have had the chance to make that 10k because I wouldn't have the pack in the first place.

I didn't say the cards being cheaper makes stubs harder to come by....stubs are are harder to come by in general...so if you make less subs the cards being cheaper doesn't really matter

How are stubs harder to come by in general? You aren't explaining why it is a thing. Where is the correlation between cheaper cards and stubs harder to come by?

I know I've earned way less stubs so far this year then I did last year...so the fact that I've earned less stubs mean I can't afford the cheaper cards

So cards being cheaper doesn't matter? It absolutely does matter

It's very simple math.

If I have 150k

and two days ago Pearson was 50k
and now he's 30k,
that makes a huge difference.
Suddenly I have 20k more to spend elsewhere.

So saying cheaper cards doesn't "matter" is silly

Yeah but once your 150k runs out...how long will it take you to make it back?

Are you saying that extra 20k DOESN'T MATTER IN THE SLIGHTEST?
Because if your not, THAT MEANS CHEAPER CARDS DO MATTER.

I didn't say that..ok so you can buy 1 or 2 more cards...but like I said...once your 150k runs out ....then what?

Then I make more stubs, I sell an inning boss, I grind showdown and affinity (which has been great for stubs). I make WS and sell that etc.

You absolutely did say that, do I need to quote it?
"I mean you earn less stubs so cards being cheaper isn't much of a benefit"
Are you saying saving 20k isn't much benefit? Because if saving 20k isn't much of a benefit, that's saying the 20k is really easy to make, which is opposite of what your saying. So that 20k actually means alot therefore, cheaper cards do as well.

Kind of cheesy they did the flash sale rush and buy these packs before they give them all away, and they knew it. Effectively destroying their value

So a person who saved up 10k to buy Drew Waters, doesn't benefit when he's surprised to see he only has to spend half that? There is no benefit to him whatsoever?

Showdown has been a blessing for me.

Make a profit almost every time, plus you get a free pack.

I even pulled Scherzer from a guaranteed silver pack today.

They def are, but like Trucker said, I've made a killing in Showdown. Free packs, maxing out each affinity gets you 6k stubs and 9 packs, that really starts to add up, I can imagine that will only increase when they release affinity part 2

Yeah but once you max out the affinity and packs....you can't make those stubs again...so the stubs will dry up until affinity 2

Ok? And maxing out affinity takes a lot of time, it's not something that can be done in a day or a week.

Just because something can't be redone a million times, doesn't mean it's not a great way to make stubs,
I probably won't have it maxed out before they release part 2.
