15 packs. 2 cards. 1 player. This is what I've been building for. Ever since Dotts came out, I've wasted countless amounts of money trying to get a Chika Fujiwara card. And now with there being two cards for her, I feel the need to try and get one of her cards more than ever. I've managed to build up a solid stack of card packs for a moment like this, so it's time to make my money back all while writing down my pain as I pull. Also, if any names are misspelled, don't blame me, I was trying to power through the lists as quick as I could. Anyway...LET'S GET TO IT:
Pack 1 - Randy Vuxta (Gold), Silver Banana (Silver), Stephen Harris (Bronze), Tychondrius Hood (Bronze), Corwin Davenport (Bronze), Alex Selich (Elite)
Alright, first pack and no Chika. Can't exactly complain too much about grabbing a card like Alex Selich, but the rest of the pack is decently underwhelming. But at least I pulled Silver Banana, who true to his name, is indeed a silver card.
Pack 2 - Reg Mackworthy (Gold), Avon Blocksdale Jr. (Gold), Deshun Jones (Gold), Douglas Quaid DBPOY, Johnny Hellzapoppin (Gold), Marcus Robinson (Bronze)
On to pack 2, and already getting some insane value! Sadly, this is like, my third time pulling Douglas, so these sorts of cards don't tend to get me too excited these days. But a few of the golds are new, so I'd consider this pack a victory of sorts. Definitely better than pack 1. But still no Chika so who cares.
Pack 3 - Videl-San (Silver), Fabricio Baldari (Gold), Mervin Leonard (Elite), Raymond Vans (Elite), Philadelphia Liberty Logo, Ahri Espeeyeeseetee (Elite)
Another really insane pack here at pack 3! Three elite level cards and a logo card is insanely good, especially when they're all cards I don't already have! I think Videl is the only dupe I pulled here, which is especially good. And I'm a sucker for the logo cards, so this pack was a major win. Or well, it would a good enough win. Still no Chika, after all.
Pack 4 - Carter Bush (Silver), Jeff Personsacker (Bronze), Beau Montgomery (Gold), Hike Mughes (Bronze), Bert Metas (Bronze), Blake Faux (Gold)
Eh, pack 4 is alright. Jeff Personsacker is a fun name, so I'm glad to add him to my collection if nothing else. Not really FREAKING OUT about this pack though. Fun fact though, while there's no Chika in this pack, the players names can be used to spell out Chika. So there's that.
Pack 5 - Stephen Harris Jr. (Bronze), Tyler Grant (Bronze), Future Trunks (Gold), Charlie Trout (Gold), Vinny Cox (Bronze), Mathias Hanyadi Ultimus Champions XXIII
YOOOO, FUTURE TRUNKS KINDA NICE! Happy about that one as he's a two season Team Anime player, but that's about where the excitement in this pack ends. I swear I've gotten so many duplicate Wraith Ultimus cards that I can't even remember which ones I do and don't have. Regardless, it's a cool card design, so I'll happily take it. No Chika though so yiiiiiiiiiiikes.
Pack 6 - Medicinal Toblerone Rookie Card, Sam Sidekick (Silver), Thor Kirby (Gold), JD Boom (Bronze), Austin Copperheads Logo Card, Giannis Kroustis (Elite)
Well this pack is pretty cool! Rookie card, Thor Kirby, and the new Copperheads logo make for a really great pack. And then we've got Giannis in there as well which is neat. The only thing that's a little bittersweet though, is that Toblerone's player is the only rookie I haven't actually talked to personally out of all the available ones. But it's still a need card design, so I'm happy with it. Not happy about no Chika though, like come on, we're on pack 6! Where she at?
Pack 7 - Ashley Owens (Elite), Shame Weston (Gold), Dre Matthews Expansion Holographic, Gosh Jarden (Gold) Orange County Otters Logo Card, Spencer Lawes (Bronze)
LET'S GO OCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! And we've got a fancy holographic expansion card which was a really neat surprise! This was a damn good pack all in all, definitely one of my favorites. Could be better though. Could have included Chika.
Pack 8 - William Lim (Gold), Jeff Personsacker (Bronze), Alex Hansen (Silver), Karmichael Hunt (Bronze), Chris Kross (Silver), Kenny Omega (Bronze)
The thing that makes this pack worth it, is pulling the card of my fellow GM on the Coyotes. Was super happy to have pulled Simo's card, even if it isn't his holographic one. The rest of this pack is either dupes or just OK. And unfortunately, unlike Simo who pulled both Karmichael and Chika in the same pack, I don't get that same luck.
Pack 9 - Jorel Tuck (Gold), Neo Donaldson (Bronze), Corwin Davenport (Bronze), Future Trunks (Gold), Barnaby Earl (Bronze), Leighton Lee (Gold)
Well, this one would have been alright if I didn't already pull Trunks earlier, but still cool to see him again. Would have been nicer if I could just combine all of these cards into one and summon Chika though.
Pack 10 - Yellowknife Wraiths Logo Card, Eugene Smoothie (Silver), Troen Egghands (Gold), Ash Saginaw (Bronze), Achilles Hondo (Gold), Jeremiah Zelos (Bronze)
Another logo card, so that makes the pack pretty worth it on its own! It's no Chika, but I like the Wraiths, so glad to have gotten their logo added to the collection.
Pack 11 - Leeroy Jenkins (Gold), Forfeit (Bronze), Jaquan Young (Bronze), Mike Lee (Silver), Eugene Smoothie (Silver), Odell Marrett (Bronze)
I pulled Forfeit so that I could have an excuse to stop, but we shan't give up just yet! Chika may not be anywhere to be found here, but she could always be beyond the horizon!
Pack 12 - Acura Skyline OROY, Dick Wizardry (Elite), Damien Arnold (Bronze), Austin McCormick (Elite), Orange County Otters Logo Card, Gregor Macgregor (Silver)
Guess I found the wrong horizon. Still a pretty solid pack all around though. I think Skyline is another dupe, but I got a few new cards in here, so it's IGHT. But you know what I'm going to say already. There's a certain Baltimore Hawks QB missing. I think her name was something like, Chiko? Chicka? Oh right, CHIKA. WHERE IS SHE.
Pack 13 - Jorel Tuck (Gold), O.J. Law (Bronze), Brayden Ennis (Gold), Shannon Hobbs (Bronze), Marcus Boyd (Gold), Jack Rambo (Gold)
NOT HERE, APPARENTLY. But hey, I pulled Brayden Ennis for like, the 5th time now. With all of these parts, I can finally summon the Exodia Butters and win any duel of my choosing. If only I could win a Chika Fujiwara card doing the same.
Pack 14 - Reggie Culbertson (Bronze), Jayce Tuck (Elite), Mathias Hanyadi RBOTY, Vash Erickson (Bronze), Corey Trevor (Bronze), Forfeit (Bronze)
I am pretty sure these are all dupes. And boy oh boy do I feel duped. Just give me Chika there's only one more pack what the hell do I need to do for this card.
Pack 15 - Mai Fukushu (Bronze), Arbin Asipi III (Silver), Tychondrius Hood (Silver), Willie B. Hardagain (Silver), Seer Zephyrous (Bronze), Haha Mango-Panda (Gold)
Pain. All I feel is pain. I at least got Mai, who is a teammate of mine and a new rep of Team Anime. And I also got Haha Mango-Panda, who is one of my favorite players in the ISFL. But no Chika. She's just not here. Insane.
CONCLUSION:
So, I'm gonna break this crud down now so we can see what I pulled in total -
Bronze: 32 pulled
Silver: 13 pulled
Gold: 25 pulled
Elite (Red border cards): 9 pulled
Logo Cards: 5 pulled
Rookie Cards: 1 pulled
Award Cards: 3 pulled
Ultimus: 1 pulled
Pain: Infinite
I won't lie, I'm really surprised how much more common the gold cards ended up being than the silver cards. I mean good thing since Chika's cards are gold, but still. Glad the odds of logo cards seem to be decently good for a special card as well, because they're frigen cool. THAT BEING SAID, I have been pulling cards since the release of Dotts essentially, and I'm releasing that the odds of pulling a card you really want is NOT VERY GOOD. I've pulled more duplicate Ultimus and Award cards than I probably have out of any other card, and I feel like that's either really good bad luck, or the pull rates on them are just weird. Either way, none of the cards have been THE TWO I've been shooting for, so if the Dotts team could just give me them that would be pretty poggers. Anyway, after this article I'll make up a little more than half of what I spent on an entire week of Dotts, so that's not too too bad I suppose. Tune in next time when I pull 21 packs and pray to God I get better results as I fall deeper and deeper into crippling debt!
