The tokens of Season XX

El Satanno

It's been five seasons straight now that I've been hoarding (almost) every token I received and posting the results. Someone out there must find it at least mildly entertaining, so I keep doing it. Here we go once again.
As before, only gold pulls are noted, I opened them in the order they appeared in my stash. The number in parentheses is the total of that type of token I opened. I did not hoard my legendaries, as they had (and still have) a very high likelihood of providing an immediate benefit to my roster so those were opened as I got them.

• 337 silver tokens
• 135 mixed gold tokens
• 1 Heroic 10-pack
• 2 legendary tokens

Observations and (purely subjective) conclusions:

1. This game is trolling me with the 4* pulls. Not including the legendaries, I pulled eight 4* covers. Four of them were Nick Fury. I do not need Nick Fury. One of them was Faptain, and his worst power at that. Faptain sucks. One was Ant-Man, who while fun and interesting, is not a must-have. Were it not for Cyclops and Jean Grey showing up, I might have set my phone on fire. Oh, and X-Force Wolverine showing up in my legendaries was unwelcome...he used to be oh, so good...
2. I actually had a use for one of the 3* pulls for the first time in months. Of course it was to respec Ragnarok, who may as well not exist anyway.
3. Linking up with Facialbook people is fantastic. That's how come I've got more than 300 silvers this time around. Lots of Iso coming in, too. So I can say that Facialbook is good for one thing. That's it, though.

The implications of this typo are that Sam is a much... different kind of superhero.

I usually open at season start as well, but I'm holding out until the new feature that helps progression is announced. If it has anything to do with cover recycling, it might very well be worth it to wait.

You assume it was a typo...

I wanted to hold out too, but am constitutionally unable to resist the temptation of shiny objects...

Aw man my 1/2/2 Samuel L Jackson would kill to have those Nick Fury covers

Same, would gladly unsell and trade the 3 JG covers i have turned into iso ...

Also, side note.. i really enjoy your token pull posts.. If you can find them, make a master thread! Would be great for the number crunchers in statistics

Yeah I agree with Malcrof, it's nice to see that I'm not the only one getting screwed on these pulls. I go back and forth between saving my tokens, and just pulling them right then and there. Long story short, it hasn't really made much of a difference for me either...

if I were further into 4*s I would hold, but 2 months of tokens is a lot of covers and iso that will help me now. I've decided to pull tokens this season and re-evaluate at season end - probably start stockpiling then.

Thumbs up for inadvertently contributing to the "token pulls aren't random" argument.
