Talk:Card Value/@comment-5565439-20121216052311/@comment-96.49.248.99-20130102231430

Just because it's rare people have lots of potions on hand, doesn't explain the need for the concept of "Card Value". The concept is useless because - as it stands now - every person buying a UR with pure will simply use 50-60% of the Card Value as the pure price. So essentially, the Card Value and Pure Price are exactly the same thing.

The CV and PV actually create an anomaly.

Let's say a Ninlil is 200 Card Value, 100 pure value.

and Werewolf is 400 Card Value, 200 pure value.

One would expect 2 Ninlils for 1 Werewolf in an equal value trade.

However, if you were to trade a Werewolf : Ninlil + potions, the owner of there Werewolf would look at the value and think "Oh, my Werewolf is 400 and I'm only getting 200 in value for his Ninlil....so he needs to fork over 200 pp."

When in contrast, the owner of the Ninlil will think "oh, I need to make up 200 in card value, but since it's discounted forpp, I only owe 100pp".
