Bundle Buys: Ring of Fire

Welcome to Bundle Buys!
It's a Bundle! Buy it? Or Skip it?

Shang-Chi is THE most played card in Marvel Snap. So, if you want to stand out, this may be a way to help spice up your deck with a sick variant! Coupling that with some resources means this is a bundle that you may want to consider. So, let's break it down...

Phoenix Force

Variants

Shang-Chi - Ranking this variant among the others is TOUGH. Shang-Chi has one of the BEST collections of variants in the game. His variants rank up there with Storm, Magik, Carnage and Galactus. So, pinning him against himself here is hard. While this Kinnaird variant (who also designed the base card) is right up there with the other heavy hitters like Peach Momoko, Rian Gonzales & Kim Jacinto, it's more pale orange color scheme stands to be a little different than the more red-focused groupings that even bleed into the Knullified and Baby variants.

Kim Jacinto

Knullified

Peach Momoko

Rian Gonzales

This separation does make him more unique; but, I don't think it supersedes any specific design here. They're all A-Tier designs; however this may be the last of that A-Tier.

Overall Cosmetic Rating - 7/10

Resources

Boosters - 465 = 3 Full Upgrades. For THIS specific variant, I do think the foilings and prisms actually make the card BETTER. So, this could be a really great variant to use your splits on; yet alone 3+ sets of them (because we all know you're sitting on a LOT of Shang-Chi boosters too).

Credits - 3500 Credits gives at least 2 of these splits a chance. Otherwise, it may be enough to move you up the CL to get that last Spotlight Cache you're missing to possibly pull Echo (which would be wise if you're in the Tournament/Conquest scene more than Ranked).

Tokens - 1000 Tokens is the minimum standard today of quantity you should be considering for a pack to be a 'Token Pack'. It feels oddly more like a garnish on this pack, but it's a spicy garnish nevertheless.

Overall Resource Rating - 7/10

I think for a pack costing 3500 Gold, this pack should have 2 reasons to be considered. One, give you your first Shang-Chi variant if you don't have one yet. You're going to play him a lot; so, make him look good! Two, move up that ladder to get Echo. Spending the 3500 Gold for the 3500 tokens feels like a fair trade knowing you're securing 1000 Tokens and a nice variant in the process. It's a good trade off in my opinion. Either way, this even though I'm not as passionate about this Bundle as I was Cosmic Wildfire, I am still confident in stating that:
