Things they don't want you to know: EX cards cost
Here are the facts:4600 / 4800 for all new EX
EX lotto costs an awful lot more to get targeted EX cards.
Here's where it gets crazy:You get far more EX cards and you also get EX cards by far cheaper from the EX lottery, but only if you don't have any EX cards at all and know when to limit yourself and prevent buying repeats to get the last few 3rd copies you don't have.
I think i got most of the first 4-5 EX card sets for 60$ when lottery first came out and only thing i had before that were 1 cudgel and 2 chirurus.
So basically you need to wait until the end of alteil to then buy in and get most EX cards for less.

If a new player spends 50$ to get EX cards, he better does the EX lotto. I believe he will get far more EX cards at a much lower price.
