Glad I took financial accounting, it's really coming in handy keeping up with this topic .

For a net loss of 7779 ISO, you get: 3 3* covers = 1500 375 HP = 1331.25 ISO (assume 3.75 heroic tokens bought as 100 HP daily deals, and an average 70/24/6% 2/3/4 draw rate) 5 CP = 287.5 ISO (assume .25 classic LTs at an average 85/15% 4/5 draw rate) Net cost if you sell everything = -4660.25 ISO

I needed the slots at the time so it wasn't a tough call, but man would this change have been sweet if it was implemented earlier. For anyone debating selling off their max champs, I can say that I can easily manage DDQ with Ares as my lone 2 . I have a max champed storm, but she's just icing on the cake.

I agree with all of this, but it's possible that your 2* might have to start fighting Ares in the DDQ at some point. Your Storm could probably take Ares and his team by herself - unless they add Storm to Ares's team. When I had to start playing without Original Black Widow in the DDQ, that made a big difference, since I pretty much relied on her and Ares. I wonder if the next revision to the DDQ (if there is one) will force us to do without Ares every now and then.

Wait for the right event and you can pull three covers with the right single player placement (which is a heck of a lot easier than farming a 2*). I see the 2* farming more as a mini-game for people who have already completed the main game. IMO it doesn't make sense to farm 2*s until every character is maxed out/championed first. At that point yes, you you don't have a lot to keep your interest. Watching characters go up every few fights is a lot more fun than waiting for random card drops. For some though they want X character maxed out NOW. What makes sense for you can only be decided by you. The deciding factor should be if you are having fun. Just remember if you kill your only 2* Captain America and and an event comes up for him you will have to live with that decision so plan well.
