I was trying to get a hold of a few copies of No Pauses, No Spills, but then I saw the price- $6.50 each. I then looked at the price for Delving, $0.10. Comparing the cards, No Pauses, no spills, you’re gonna toil anyway with Dwarves to choke, why not just use Delving? Is drawing one extra card worth an extra $6.40 per even?

So, I was wondering, what is it that give No Pauses, No Spills its edge over Delving?

NP,NS is legal in Standard format for one thing. The extra card is also nice, and having Toil is awesome since you can adjust the cost based on how much you need to exert.

Delving is still good though. It’s a poor man’s No Pauses, No Spills. Mr. Green

Remember that your can only draw 4 cards in your fellowship phase.
So Np, NS maxes out that limit whereas Delving is one cards short.
Also AC had a good point about standard.

But $6.50? Is it worth that much when you can just use delving? In expanded...

If you play expanded, Delving is much better for the $ cost.

I like no pauses, no spills because of the flexable ways to play it, but I also already own it...

No Pauses, No Spills is a rare, for one thing, while Delving is an uncommon. That alone makes it more hard to get, meaning you might have to open 2-3 booster boxes to get a playset, while you’ll get almost 2 sets (or even more) of Delving in 2 boxes.

Instead of delving or no pauses, no spills, you could use calculated risk to draw more cards if you’re worried about exertions.

I already have one copy, and why would I pay $1.27, plus postage to send the money in cash, for $0.40 worth of cards? I’ll just trade with my friends, or wait till I place a big order...
