Well, I'm really ready for trade function >_<. I got so many good greens, and I barely play green so far. Guess I'll learn! Might as well make a pack raptor deck anyway.

Edit: you can include more than four pack raptors in a single deck if you use the alternate art raptors plus normal ones. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

It's in the pulldown in the deck editor with new deck/save deck etc.

That'll probably get changed, I don't think they want you to be able to run 8 of a good card if it has alternate art. Oh man, imagine people running 8 thoughtseize?

Doesn't Pack Raptor also make more pack raptors when you cast it? I have an idea for a deck then:

^ 8/52 could be better.

2 quick questions for the OP

1.) Is there any reason beyond planning to resell in the future, that you shouldn't open primals?
I assume not since you can't draft them.

2.) How many ranks are there of treasure chests?
I opened 1 primal and 1 normal and got 1 normal chest and 1 legendary chest.

I believe the chest ranks are the same as the card rarities, so common/uncommon/rare/epic/legendary, but I could be wrong.

Not the OP, but no, there is no reason not to open primals. Go nuts. Since you can't use them for any sort of tournament play, you may as well open them. The only alternative is to sell them when the auction house becomes a thing.

Primal chests exist, you can get them by upgrading legendary chests

So how many Primals did we get from KS rewards? Just trying to figure out how many I randomly lucked into, which seems like probably a lot judging by what folks here have been saying.

:( At least I got an Eye of Creation in the one pack I did open. Maybe my 2 drafts a week forever will salve my luck wounds.

EDIT: And now an Angel of Dawm. At least the primals I did get had the good legendaries.

So I have four codes:

Pro Player
Free weekly lifetime drafts
Dungeon Crawler
Free weekly lifetime drafts for one year

I shouldn't have any problem combining the Dungeon Crawler and free weekly lifetime draft (for Pro Player pledge) and then in a separate account combining the Pro Player and free weekly lifetime drafts for one year (from Dungeon Crawler pledge). I wouldn't lose anything by doing this right? I'd like to have the dungeon crawler perks and lifetime drafts in my primary account.

I would be careful with something like this, I read on the forums from an employee post that there are some known broken cards and they will potentially ban for exploiting them.

Actually, I see no reason I couldn't combine Pro Player, Dungeon Crawler and the free weekly lifetime drafts for life codes and then just create a separate account for the free weekly lifetime draft for one year. It seems like everything else would stack (not sure about mercenaries and sleeves but I don't care if they don't stack).

I sure wish cryptozoic had put out a clearer faq on how exactly the codes stack.

I think the way it is meant to work with chests is that during an "Event" (so GenCon / HexCon / etc) any packs you open will give a chest with a different loot table (rather than just opening any old chest having a different loot table during the event) so that is one reason maybe not to open them until that gets cleared up

Also I got more like 1.6% drop rate of primals (plus the guaranteed ones) but I'm still happy with my haul :)

Mercenaries are going to be tradeable, and since they don't stack there is a chance to lose a lot of value when they open the floodgates to people who didn't kickstart Hex.

Not for nothing, but they really need to stop jerking off over their infrastructure because I have yet to see this game run with anything closely approximating stability.

Interesting. Didn't know Mercenaries were tradable. Definitely a valid reason not to combine DC and Pro tier non-draft codes.

The fourth law of robots is screw you, I'm outta here.
3/155, which seems to be pretty average. I haven't spent very much time on the alpha because I was finding the deck editor so frustrating, but now I see that it's much improved. Opened one pack so far and the pack opening experience is pretty sweet. I'll probably do a few more as well as the Primals, and sit on the rest to play Sealed.

Holding off on redeeming my draft code for now until I bone up on the Hex draft environment a little.
