All good things come to an end or How I dropped my legendary hoard

Black Duke

Well, after long ten months of hoarding I finally decided to pull my hoarded legendary tokens.
Now I want to tell you how my big pulling session has turned out.

Initial position:
2.26 million ISO-8, 286 LTs, 3610 CP

My goals:
To champion all three latest 5* characters, Spider-Man, Daredevil (bot not recruited yet) and Gambit (0/0/1). Furthermore I want to finish my Silver Surfer (2/5/4) via bonus covers and to champion Rogue (3/4/3).

5* pulls:

Daredevil yggyppgygppgypppyp
Gambit bbrprrpbbbrr
Spider-Man grurgrruugurguuur

Silver Surver BBU

Statistics:

• Out of 313 pulls I got 50 5* covers = 15.97% (slighty above average)
• Furthermore I got 7 bonus covers = 2.23% (slighty below average)

Results:                                                                                                                                                                                              

I´m fairly happy with my 313 pulls since I didn´t have to touch my CP stash (still 4.1k left). All three latest 5* characters are championed now: Daredevil at level 455, Spidey at level 454 and Gambit at level 450 (I´ve swapped the unusable black cover for a purple cover). Silver Surfer is fully covered now (3/5/5) with an extra black cover in my queue, he will be my next champion when I´ve enough ISO (50k are missing). Last but not least Rogue is a level 281 champion.

Awesome work! Must have been difficult sitting on all that for so long. Your roster must be supercharged now. All those champion level rewards must be awesome

It took me longer than I care to admit to figure out that "pyuuupupuupuyu" was not meant to express displeasure at pulling Coulson.

Nice hoard and pulls!

But ... only 3610cp after 10 months? Had you spent some along the way?

Yeah, I´ve spend some CP here and there when the opportunity was favourable (for instance as they accidently changed the drop rate of 5* to 25%).

Caelinus primarily plays PvE.. and is very good at it. As far as I know he didn't use to get 1200 on a regular basis.

Since I´m part of a hybrid alliance I´m also playing PVP.
I was long afraid of going further than 1.000 points and hit 1.200 points for the first time two months ago. The last two seasons I´ve scored 1.2k points in PVP regularly but now they´ve unfortunately removed the 15 CP reward....

Thanks! Yeah, my Shield Rank has jumped from 114 to 116 within my pulling session. The only downside was that I got so many covers (9) for Venom. He´s one of these 4* characters I´ll probably never champion.

It took me a little while to figure out that b meant black and u meant blue

  Haha!

Initially I wanted to write a more detailed post. But since it´s really difficult here to create a post which is longer than 30 lines (when you´re typing in something, it always jumps back to the top), I had to shorten my report a bit.

I´ll add an explanation next time.

As an old MtG player, we've always used B for black and U for blue.  But I thought the same thing as @Jarvind for a few minutes.

Even after I figured that out, I was still kind of reading all of those as sound effects as I went down the list.

Should be at 300 pulls myself today, having that age old battle with myself on do I really even want the 5 star game, should I pull from classics as I'm enjoying the 4 star game, should I softcap what I get, should I carry on hoarding, should I wait for Thor instead of spidey.

To be fair, someone who played Magic the Gathering in the past knows this because it's the same notation there, but otherwise, anybody could have some problems figuring that out at first. So don't stress about it

Congrats and I like that you have used my formatting (Yes I’m a magic the gathering player too ANd you even went the extra mile to sort it alphabetically. I just add it as they were pulled). Did I start a trend? Or is someone going to bring back character icon and colour flags? Nice use of bonus hero to finish another 5* too. I could never risk it seeing how I dread the unusable 6th cover in a cover when so many have 5 already.

Thanks! I was actually inspired by your post. Since this forum is lacking of any colouration and character icons, I thought it was a good way to create my post. 

Getting the last two covers for Silver Surfer was a all-or-nothing gamble (I already had to sell a red cover a month ago), but I really wanted to finish him since he´s a viable third member for my designated 5* Simulator team (Gambit and Daredevil). After pulling two black covers (bringing him to 2/5/5) my heard skipped a beat when I got the third bonus cover. The realization that I´ve drawn the desired blue cover, was probably the happiest moment of my pulling session.
