Speaking of 2000 gem multipacks....I finally got there. In the 23 packs, I got 2 Legendary cards, that was it. I'm not sure if 1/10 Legendaries is the supposed rarity of them or not.

There were a SIGNIFICANT number of rare cards which went straight to recycling, as did most of the uncommons.

The funny thing is, that despite several multipacks now, I am still missing a number of uncommon cards (even 1) and have even decided to craft a few that I wanted for particular decks because it's going to be a long haul. Also, for now the daily teammate packs seem to be gone, and I was going to start diverting gems towards those now to pick up some missing super rares and rares.

Just for the record, I've been playing since before the last 3 updates, so my card collection includes many, many cards that were basic before they were changed to premium, which filled in even a number of rares to 4 cards.

With respect to the discussion about value of waiting for multipacks, etc. I am thinking now that I am Diamond 300 and have yet to earn a single gem other than from quests, even the 1000 multipack may be foolish to save for. It is pretty clear that the 5000 multipack is for only for people who are prepared the pay cash for the gems. The problem is except for the OCCASIONAL mega quest which gives 100 gems or the 2 quests for crafting that came with this most recent update, ALL other quests have paid me 10 gems only in the entire time since hitting Diamond. Since some of the specialized packs with very good rares and super rares evidently don't stick around or don't cycle through quickly, or whatever - the opportunity to get those cards is DEFINITELY worth the premium of extra gems, because the chances of rounding out your collection and/or getting the rares/super rares/legendaries that you want for specific decks is, in my experience, extremely low and hit or miss, even after 6000 gems worth of multipacks. I got more extra cards that needed to be recycled than I had with the 4 previous 1000 multipacks combined - and that ISN'T just because I have a greater proportion of the total card catalogue either - I actually counted the the rares to see how many were going to be recycled as they came out of the packs.

I know that some of you have taken advantage of the daily packs and teammate packs because I've played against your decks and I know you couldn't possibly have 4 legendaries or 4 super rares, both in the same deck without either paying for gems in large quantities or buying the premium-priced packs.
