Great video! All valid points! Just to clarify, I have a LOT of Rebellion and spent thousands on it... They are being rented out in account "Psilence4" right now since I'm not playing modern ATM ;). I'm against the $4 packs because even though I DID spend those thousands into REB, I got nowhere. Literally had commons at under 60BCX having spent 2k+ and had to buy a LOT of singles on top of that to finish my legendary cards. When you spend that much and still can't get close to Max, it's hard to justify doing so again. The rewards I've received based on how much I spent are very out of line. I can't justify doing that again. $2 packs I'd feel like I'd have a chance to get somewhere, $4 I got nowhere even having spent thousands. That being said: $2 packs is the way to go IMHO. Thanks again for the video!

This is the problem because you feel like the thousands you spend got you "nowhere" which is false. You own cards today that have probably retained good value and are great rental income for you. They don't play well because half your collection is maxed out cheap.
Full disclosure: The value of my REB = $3650 and my daily rental income is around 1350 DEC. Yes, I own Tofu and Venka etc and they are included in that calculation. I spent around $3500ish on cards / packs. The 1350 DEC is around $1 a day in rental income. It will take me almost 10 years to earn back the $3500 if I continue to rent them out. (That's not including the fact that 1.5 years from now they will rotate and become less valuable and rent for less.) Just my numbers for full transparency. :)
The most important part about this whole statement is that you have not lost money on your investment in the last YEAR!!!! When has #splinterlands done this ever since the chaos of Chaos Legion. Huge win in my mind which is why I don't want to change it.
But I had to put in $3500... And I'm not close to a max deck. That's a crazy amount for a TCG and it's unreasonable to expect people to drop that kinda money to play. I just want to see more people in SPL :) Nothing is saying lower priced packs won't retain value, Untamed did!
