General Safety Warning
I almost forgot to include this. THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE. This is merely the musings of a guy at home at this computer considering the possible outcome of the final 8-ish days remaining on the Chaos Legion Pre-sale. Please read carefully, consider fully, do your own research, and consult a professional before taking action. Or don't.
THE END IS NIGH
First and foremost
Nigh is defined by Merriam-Webster as being close or near, and since both of those are relative terms they fit here perfectly because the event ends in a bit over 8 days as of this blog. For those in the Pacific time zone, 9 pm on Wednesday the 24th of November. For everyone else, sorry but do your own time zone maths.
Second
ALL VOUCHERS FOR THE PRE-SALE HAVE BEEN ISSUED. NO NEW VOUCHERS WILL BE ISSUED UNTIL DECEMBER 8TH.

The above is in caps because I feel like there is a lot of misinformation surrounding vouchers.
But Mstr Magoo, What Does This Mean for Me?
You have options you always have options. Ask yourself a few key questions,
- Did/Do you intend to buy packs during the pre-sale event? If you have bought them already then skip ahead. If you have yet to buy but you answer yes move along to number 2. If you answered no then skip ahead to the section below the image of the pack purchase in the shop.
- IF you have not yet purchased your pre-sale packs you need to figure out if you need more vouchers. If the answer is no, you have what you need, then skip ahead to number 3. If the answer is yes, the following is for you: The vouchers have yet to reach the $25+ that they were in their infancy but they are still pretty volatile so if you need more all I can say is, good luck, buy with confidence, don't look back.
- BUYING PACKS. Now that you have all your vouchers lined up, are you buying with DEC, SPS or Credits? For Credits I see no reason not to buy your packs unless you are still on the fence about it. If you said DEC or SPS remember that their value is constantly in flux so buying packs right now may be at a loss for you depending on when and how you got your tokens. Did you earn your SPS through airdrops and tourneys or buy it off the market. For DEC reread that sentence replacing the word SPS with DEC. The long of short of that is, you have 8 days in which to spend those tokens and their value will vary which may or may not benefit you. Just something to keep in mind. The image below shows where to look to know the current token value you will be buying at.
Did you answer no to buying or indicate that you already had all the vouchers you needed? Well then there is another thing to consider. Do you have leftover/excess vouchers?
If you do have leftover or excess vouchers you of course have more choices to consider. Do you hold your vouchers or do you sell whatever you have or have left before the end of the event. Yes these vouchers will still have value after the event is over when round 2 of the sale starts on December 8th but an opportunity may present itself in the next few days.
Some call them whales but can whales be cannibalistic?
This is a snapshot of the leaderboard with 8 days 5 hours and 24 mins or so remaining.
- Do you think spots 7 through 13 will just go quietly into the night and let the chance to put their name on a summoner pass them by?
- Will Mr. Push and Shove not PUSH and SHOVE!?
- Will some other dark horse, further down the leaderboard (this one goes to 100) make a late break for the top 6?
Okay so clearly I have digressed in my discussion as I fanaticize about the rich list getting richer as they enter the poor house but the point here is. Every voucher not used by one of us is potentially a voucher that could be used by someone pushing to make the top six spots. I'm not saying they will fight over it, for all I know they may have formed a coven over in the MavChat not to buy vouchers above a certain price but a guy with sellable merchandise can dream. All I'm saying is move your extra's to your exchange of choice and get them in position to pull the trigger. You should pick your sell price and wait in this guy's opinion. If your ask gets met then do it. If it doesn't, HODL for a future pack buy or voucher spike. Just remember, this is not financial advice.
IN SUMMARY
By patient. Plot your course. Know your milestones and waypoints. Execute. Always remember, you could choose to do nothing. Doing something is not mandatory. Make hay while the sun shines or let the field lay fallow. It's up to you. Whatever you choose, remember to do your own research.
I do hope some of the above was truly helpful to you. But please, if you see something I missed. Let me know in the comments. If its good I might even send you a thank you gift.
SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOF TOPS
You should be playing Splinterlands.
As always, be well, have fun, and don't forget to be awesome.

With 8 days left, there are still a lot of things to be defined until the finish line :-). Great post!
I have picked this post on behalf of the @OurPick project and it will be highlighted in the next post!
Thanks again for the promotion. Really appreciate it.
Awesome post @magooz I am very excited for the end of this crazy race for who will get to create summoners! I am rooting for kush_hyg since he has been coming by the stream and blessing it with his generousity hehe. He's such a nice and generous guy, plus who doesn't love kush lol. Good luck to everyone who will be making the push! I usually stream on Wednesdays too so I will try and make a plan to stream this live see how it all goes :D yahooooo can't wait. I will be selling my vouchers that are above the 100 mark to buy more packs. Lets go!!
I don't have much idle funds to invest in the pre-sale packs. I decided to purchase 1 pre-sale pack so that I would have a remote chance at one of the exclusive cards. I know, I know, my chances are slim to none at best but I wanted my name in the hat anyway. With the vouchers fragments I had left over, I chose to sell them, buy DEC and hold that earning SPS until the Chaos Legion packs are released for public sale with no voucher. I understand I will get more vouchers starting Dec 8th depending on that amount I may purchase additional packs or sale. At that point, the market prices will play into my decision at that time.
I mean the upside to buying a pre-sale pack is that 1 pack will count against every airdrop yet to come. It will be a slim chance on all 15 but 1 is more than 0 so you got that going for you. Another thing you can do since you don't need the pack to be airdrop eligible is sell the pack to get funds for a future pack purchase.
So if you were to say stake all your SPS before the double voucher rate starts on December 8th. You would earn enough vouchers to buy a few more packs in the next 2 million. If you then sell all those packs you would have funds for more packs in the no voucher sale of the final 12 million.
Regarding opening packs, it takes quite a few to make a full deck. @clove71 is buying 2400 or so as that is what she believes (minimum) it would take to build a maxed deck. I opened a couple hundred Untamed packs and a bunch of Dice packs and my deck isn't even a silver maxed deck so only open if you enjoy the gamble for a high value card. Otherwise, sell/hodl+sell your packs to make money for purchasing singles.
Thanks for the great advice. I will take it all into consideration for when we get closer to that time period. What do you think of the Beta cards and their potential for price increase when the new standard deck set is changed to Untamed and Chaos?
