"All Promos" and "All Rares Collection" in Gemp Merchant
« on: January 13, 2015, 06:49:23 PM »
In the Gemp Merchant, when you select "packs," there are two items that don't have much of a description:

"All Promos" (with a picture of the Ages End artwork) for 400g

"All Rares Collection" (with a picture of the Expanded Middle Earth artwork) for 150g

What specifically do you get if you buy these?

I seem to recall somebody saying that the "All Promos" item gets you a whole bunch of the alternate image promos, otherwise only available by playing the single-elimination tournaments, but I'm unclear exactly how many you get, and what promos are included.

Is the "All Rares Collection" simply the Expanded Middle Earth set?

The "All Rares Collection" is indeed simply the 15 Expanded Middle Earth set 14 Rares.

The "All Promos" is simply the 40-card Ages End promo set. No AI cards.

Source: I just purchased both and confirmed the contents.

You can see their content if you select set 14 and set 19 in Merchant/Deckbuilder.

Wow, thanks for taking that bullet, so I don't have to! MarcinS should have just titled them "Ages End Set" and "Expanded Middle Earth set" instead, that would have been far less confusing.

Ugh, terrible deal on those, you gain absolutely nothing by buying the set, versus just getting the single cards you want. MarcinS should really drop the price on both of those. Right now there's absolutely zero reason to ever get them.
