Buying Goko Sets

Just want to check I can do the Maths of buying things on goko, and I correct in thinking if you buy the Super Packs 1+2 and dark ages separately, you get all the cards in the Mega Pack, but only pay 480 Gokoins, not 540? If so, there's something seriously wrong with the Goko purchase prices.

The math is indeed screwy.  Make sure to account for Guilds as well.  It will probably cost as much or a little more than Alchemy.

Well if I buy 540 gokoins, this leaves me with 60 (+40 from helping on the beta), this should hopefully be sufficient for Guilds (as Alchemy is only 40).

Thanks for the help, I don't trust my adding abilities (I'm a mathematician).

cheapest way is buying super pack 2, and the rest of the expansions on their own for 460 gokoins. those can be bought for $40 (2 $20 packs).
the 40 from the beta should get you guilds hopefully.

This really ought to be wikified or put in a FAQ somewhere.  "How to deal with screwy Goko pricing."

So does the above still apply (especially since Guilds)?

I haven't bought anything yet. I'd prefer to not buy everything at once (unless that's cheaper).

They now have changed their pricing, so it is cheaper to buy the Ultra Pack which has all the expansions for a flat price of $45.

It's the cost of the two Super Packs and the complete Dark Ages combined, so you essentially get Guilds for free.
