Tourneyments and going "Infinite" in Saga

https://www.playsaga.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6883

Tourneyments will cost $2 and 3 boosters. This is $11 in cost to win 4 boosters for first. Assuming a first place finishing, you can use your boosters to reenter in the next tourneyment. If you can trade one of the cards from your spare booster for 10 event tickets, you can run the next tourneyment for free.

This is called "going infinite" in games like Magic the Gathering Online. Where you win enough to play for free every tourneyment.

Can you go infinite? Most likely not in Saga. The prizes aren't high enough to allow you any losses without having to rebuy in.

(See the first comment to this. Sagaunits wants to buy your tourney cards to help you go infinite.)

Actually you can go "infinite".

First off it's an initial investment of $11 not $8. (3 packs x $3 =9 + $2 in tix)

Second you keep all the cards in the first 3 packs that you bought. You then go to SagaUnits.com and sell your cards that you dont want/need to him which will give you some money back.

Tournament players that are good can actually make some very very good money playing saga.

I hear whispers in the wind about how easy it is going to be to sell your cards to SagaUnits.....Shhhhhh

I don't see how running a couple tourneyments during the day will generate enough money to make it worthwhile.

Based on the chart you need to run at least 4 brackets to win, with a 10 min game.

This is about an hour per tourny, assuming 5 a day you can get 5 extra packs, and about 15 packs to sell. 4 uncommons per pack averaging about $1 each gives you about $60 per day.

$60/day isn't insane money, per HOUR it would be ok, but not per day.

However we will see, I will be a big participate when it rolls out.

This is also assuming you win every tourney you play too. No1 is gonna do that. Apart from maybe Illian :P
