Total Iso from cover sales and champion rewards: 92,080

Observations and (purely subjective) conclusions:

1. Silver tokens continue to pay out handsomely, relatively speaking. 10 gold pulls, and thanks to championing, all valuable. Thanks, silver tokens!
2. T'was a good haul for my Iceman and Rulk, who both are now just one cover shy of champion positioning. I lucked out in not pulling 6th covers for either of them. Conversely, the opposite was true for my poor Thing and X-23: Both pulls (yellow and green, respectively) were a 6th and both of them still have fewer than 10 covers. Boo.
3. Thank hell I didn't have to see Faptain's useless face at all. But he was replaced by Elektra! FIVE god-damn covers! What diabolical twist of algorithmic fate leads me to pull considerable amounts of a **** character every season?! If I pull 5+ Star-Turd, Manure/Cho, or Mr. **** next season, I'm gonna need a tinfoil hat. (PS: Elektra sucks horrible, horrible ****.) For the record, it is still completely unacceptable that any 4* character is as bad as that bunch. In protest, I've used all the Iso gained from selling those useless covers to level up my 2* Magneto some more. Because I'd rather use 2* Magneto over them!
4. Two five-star pulls out of 43 legendary tokens. If one didn't end up being a much-needed Logan black, I'd be one of those disgruntled people who never shut up about these things. I'm still unimpressed by the rate, but since that puts my Logan at 1/2/3 I'm not too put off. At least until the next 5* is released who ends up even more crazy OP than Logan. Boy oh boy am I looking forward to that.
5. I'm now hip-deep in Iso needs. I am forced to decide between leveling my Logan now and enjoying the level of security that comes with a decent 5*, or maxing and championing Kingpin to avoid wasting his covers once more. This should be an easy choice as Logan will actually improve my roster, but I can't help needing to get maximum value from those covers...Ugh...

That's it! Back to hoarding for another season!
