I figured it out. I created new account, stacked my commons team, then traded the 60 or so limiteds I had gotten to the new account. I have no idea why I thought the commons would level to Limited, but that got stuck in my head for 2 weeks
IT SEEMS the trick is to build, use your daily to upgrade when you can, as well as enter prospect yoru 1st week and hope you stacked correctly or the gods were not against you, win a T1 common. Next round field 1 solid team and 1. if you got lucky on your 1st win and yanked a reliever , MEH team, to aim for a T1 with team 1 and a T3-T5 with team 2.
APPARENTLY, if you take your time and follow the sport like I USED TO...The hours I would invest...You can do reasonably well in building a limited team In a few months without buying. Me, well, I treated it like Baseball cards, and went rookie crazy
I have 4 non-rookies and 50+ RCs
not the best way to win, mind you, but well like Yennier Cano. I picked up 4 of him at 1.15 to 1.65. He then did REAL well in 2 appearances and 13.00 a pop. Which, granted , is a low yield, but, to me, I see growth
I see value even though I probably wont sell any of my cards. I've picked up a few guys for under 2.00 and saw 8-15.00 tags pretty quick. But, we know how sports work. hot today, triple A tomorrow
It DOES have 1 kick that I like in that a vet has value for what he can do VS just being "another card" in the hobby. I am going to roll with it, spend a hundred here and there, pile up, and see how I do as it appears to REALLY throw down and complete for the rare items will cost a few thousands in order to have multiple line-ups to cover several forms of play weeks and match-ups. So, will take tiem and see if I can get the hang of it and have fun before going full tilt
