Choose wisely and tell me why! (don't pay attention to the number of cards of the top right of each cards)

## The Price of a Gold Foil Collection

To date, I've bought 816 packs and through buying those packs I became obsessed with owning one of every single limited alpha edition gold foil cards (as I believe they may be worth a wack load more in the future).

So...how much would it cost me to complete my set? Let's break it down at the current market price:

| Missing Cards  | Price  | Team  | Rarety  |
|---|---|---|---|
| Serpentine Soldier  | $7.45  | Fire  | Rare  |
| Cerberus  | $6.45  | Fire  | Rare  |
| Fire Demon  | $47.85  | Fire  | Epic  |
| Elemental Phoenix  | $700  | Fire  | Legendary  |
| Water Elemental  | $7.45  | Water  | Rare  | 
| Frozen Soldier  | $10.95  | Water  | Rare  | 
| Mischievous Mermaid  | $45.00  | Water  | Epic  |

| Earth Total | $1259.92 | | |
| Death Total | $700.00 | | |
| Dragon Total | $6250.55 | | |

## So...What Am I Going To Do?

I would have a few choices to accomplish this. I could try to trade my way to make enough $ trading cards that I can purchase all of them...which is highly unlikely since I suck at trading.

The other option is to buy them and HODL...considering it an investment, but I doubt my wife would approve of me putting 10K on digital trading cards.

The last option is to keep playing and buying booster packs and play the lottery. Which is probably what I'm going to do since I discovered something new about SteemMonsters...

## Unopened Decks As An Hedge Against Bear Market

One thing that I've learned on the [SM Discord](https://discord.gg/CAFJRjY) is that you can buy packs and leave them unopened. You can then later on sell them as unopened decks on the market just like people are still doing for the limited Alpha version of Magic the Gathering.

What it means is that those decks have a minimum value of $2USD and probably never will be sold at a lost...so you have a situation of no downside and unlimited upside. In a bear market, that's a great place to park cash!

## Conclusion

Again, Win a Full Set of Spirit Cards + a Gold Foil by:

1- Commenting below your favorite Spirit Deck for a 20 mana game
2- Explain why it is your favorite
3- Explain what this deck is good for and it's potential weakness
