Legend Story Studios Flesh & Blood TCG Uprising Booster Display (24 Packs)

fun game, great seller

This set has the best art in any Flesh and Blood set. The marvel cards are beautiful, and it's fun to be able to pull a mix of cold foil and rainbow foil cards.However, the pull rates in these boxes are too inconsistent. They do not guarantee anything per box, so you CAN get a box with pretty much nothing (not even a cold foil!) if you're unlucky enough. You can also get insane boxes with several cold foils and legendaries in them. I had a box with $15 value (no joke, 0 cold foil box) and one with $400 value (no fabled, but it had 2 legendaries and a majestic marvel dragon).Also I'm not sure if my luck is just bizarre or if the distribution is off but I pulled multiple duplicates of the same 2 marvel dragons over and over again. Seems very odd, but it makes me suspicious that not all marvel dragons (even of the same rarity) appear at the same rate. Meaning if there is one you really want, just buy it as a single, since it may not be the case that all 9 rare marvel dragons have an equal chance of appearing. It's possible some of them are rarer than others, meaning duplicates are likely.

Something something, buy singles.I wish dollar value wasn't so important to these boxes and you could just "have fun" but it is what it is. The after-market has become a core part of TCGs, and I can hop over to several other websites and buy cards for pennies, so opening boxes has turned into gambling. So is it worth it to actually open a box of Uprising?I want to give them credit for adding 'marvels' and normalizing prices somewhat. You're more likely to pull $10, $20, $30 value cards than older sets instead of being pure lotto $150 or $0 boxes. So there's definitely an improvement.However, I still don't think the sets have a good value.We averaged maybe $50 per box.No rare is worth more than $1 since they're effectively uncommons. It still sucks to pull a $2 cold foil, and it still sucks to pull a $30 legendary. And realistically it could have been worse.So while there's some promise in the new formula it's still pretty disappointing. Instead of getting 3-5 cards per box that have value, you get... 3-5 cards per box that have value.

Got a couple of the cheaper dragons, a single copy of 3 adult heroes, generic equipment and one foil "burn them all". The rest was fluff. Not great imo.
