You know there's an easily accessible way to find odds since they have to disclose them, these are for Golden packs:
On average, 0.6% chance to get a Signature Legendary card and guaranteed to get one within 361 packs from the previous Signature Legendary card drop
Note: This only applies to packs granting cards from sets that have Signature Legendary cards
[Signature Golden Expansion Set Packs Only] In Signature Golden Expansion Set packs, this chance is increased to 15.1% chance to get a Signature Legendary card and guaranteed to get one within 14 packs from the previous Signature Legendary card drop
[Golden Expansion Set Packs Only] In Golden Expansion Set packs, this chance is increased to 5.0% chance to get a Signature Legendary card and guaranteed to get one within 40 packs from the previous Signature Legendary card drop
Unless you're lying you should have gotten one after 40 packs (well within your range) and you should open up a ticket to Blizzard
Also having all the cards doesn't increase the odds, hope that helps Archimedes
You're mildly wrong, before Runestones players couldn't buy single skins for 1,50€ because they didn't sell any, and you know why? Transaction and taxes cost, they wouldn't make money, it would legitimately be a bad deal, before runestones THE ONLY way to get skins was through bundles, and the bundles where fixed at 15€ and 20€,without the agency of picking each skins, it's all or nothing
Now with runestone you have the ability to just pay 150, and yeah sure the smallest pack gives you 50 short but as I said if you want to go even and don't have any left over the minimum you could pay is 15€ for 1500 which AGAIN its literally the same price as a bundle EXCEPT you get 2 more skins AND THE AGENCY TO CHOSE, it's literally the same price as before, so if you were buying bundles before you're getting a better deal for your buck and if you weren't you're not losing anything
Even if you just want 3 skins and get 50 over is still not a predatory way of marketing it because it's literally the same price as before, not even that the price of runestones is more linear compared to some exponential premium currency that gives you bonuses making the price to currency flactuate more, unless you wanna tell me how you save 16 cents by buying the smaller bundles 10 times
Call me a shill call me what you want, I have been a F2P player for 6 years and this change is meaningless, the economy is still the fucking same we just have more smaller things to buy
So we saw 3 Heroes each 9,99 during the last few weeks (Kelthuzad etc.) - before we even got 3 Heroes for 20 Euro / Dollar.
Today we get an Elise for a whooping 1500 Runestones = 15 Euro / USD
So a sweet 50% increase compared to last week ;o) ...
That's not true, they've always sold 2 types of Skin bundles
Skin+5 Packs for 10€ and Skin+5 Packs+Cardback for 15€ the last batch of skins, Kel and Vash, didn't have the Cardback meanwhile Elise does, there's no increase its literally the same
The thing that drives me up the walls the most is that they said that they wouldn't make prices that can't be fit properly in the available bundle sizes, and yet literally the very first batch of prices they add, they are selling battlegrounds hero skins for 150 runestones, with the lowest bundle size being 500 runestones... Like literally the very first batch of items, they already apply the predatory pricing that everyone was worried about and that they said they wouldn't do, it's just insane to me...
As for BG skins, they used to be sold in packs of 15€ for 8 of them or 20€ for 7+1 Bartender Skin, which means that the lowest amount of money you needed to spend for 1 single skin you wanted (never mind not liking the resr of the skins) was indeed 15€
With skimds being 150 Runestones, the treshold to not having leftovers runestones is 1500 (15€) which would net you 10 skins of your choice, that's a 20% increase in skins PLUS the ability to chose the ones you want compared to having to stick with a bundle, and since you were forced to buy the bundle having the option to buy 1500 runestones is exactly the same but with added benefits
Hate it all you want but that's not a good reason to do so
I've been experimenting a bit with Relics too, I like your list. Have you tried some of the token generators instead of aggro cards like Glaive? I also don't like Need for Greed as I feel the deck draws well enough
My idea was to get enough levels (I needed like 5/6) to get enough gold to buy the Stormwind miniset anyway (and ofc playing afterwards otherwise I'd just buy the miniset haha)
I guess I'll wait for the new one that'll comr out
Hsve you guys tried Master Duel yet? What's yall opinion?
Now it's obvious that they shipped it a bit too early but it seems like they want to fix/improve so I don't mijd the clunkyness at the moment
As someone who stopped playing ygo long ago (at least 9/10 years) it's kinda nice as it's more similar to what I used to play than Duel Links, plus it has a dusting system (looking at you mtga)
If I buy the Tavern Pass now (I'm at level 60 something) would I get the bonus 15% increased exp retroactively (so I'd gain sone levels) or its gone forever?
I've been eyeing the new Maestra Rogue deck that has both Edwin and Mr. Smite in them and I've been saving up gold to get buy the Mini Set, now my question is, how long do i have until it is not available to purchase with gold anymore?
I've been running the numbers and it would need me around 13 levels (from 53 to 66 on the paas to be precise) can I do it in time? (I really don't wanna drop 15€ on it but I also don't want to grind like crazy)
I cam back specifically to this after one of the tips you get when you load up Battlegrounds, apparently there are only 7 tier 6 Minions in the pool and I'm sure that I've seen more than 7 Amalgadons at once, therefore I can deduce amd assume that:
Every generated minion/golden minion from minions or hero powers aren't taken from the pool, only buying them from the shop counts toward the pool, although I'm unsure about transformed minions while they are in the shop (I'd say they are transformed into one and not swapped with one taken from the pool)
Although I couldn't find it anywhere, Librams are definitely a take on the word "Liber" in Latin, which means book, two of the different possible conjugation are "Libro" (current Italian word for Book) or Librum/Librem
The correct pronunciation is "Lee-Bram" and definitely not the same as Library
I don't know the approximate probability to get a legendary but I feel that, given you can craft a legendary you want and know you're gonna use, it's better to use the coins and start farming more coins rather than waiting for a chance of it to appear in a pack, like the time that it takes for you to get thay exact legendary could be used to train/farm coins for that legendary

Stupid question that I already know the answer for but:
-Is it worth to craft Cloack? It's gonna rotate "soon", is there another kind of replacement for it?

Liber, from Latin "Book" is pronounced Lee-br
Another example for English could be: just pronounce it the same as the Lib in Liberty

Many things are bad but the main problem is playing too much, play too much and you'll just get bored and the game will feel stale
