A user on Reddit calculated how many boosters are needed on average and how much it costs to own all cards in Hearthstone.
For a grand, you’re in
New players as well as veterans of Hearthstone often wonder how much it would cost to get all the cards solely with real money. While one might roughly estimate in their head how many packs they would need to buy, Reddit user Rushin took the time to check this out more thoroughly. He created a fresh account and then started equipping it piece by piece until he really had collected all the cards. The result is impressive:
A complete non-golden collection costs €1153! This corresponds to the purchase of 365 Classic and 364 Goblins vs Gnomes and The Grand Tournament packs each.
If you want to make a big impression, you obviously only include golden cards in your decks, which would cost €4483 for a complete collection! This amount corresponds to a digital equivalent of 1418 Classic and 1417 packs of the two expansions each. Pay a year’s rent or rather have all cards in golden form?
Rushin points out that this information should not scare newcomers at all – there are numerous ways to earn cards in the game without investing a single cent. Particularly some successful players like Kripparian, Trump, and Firebat play with accounts for which they have spent absolutely no real money. Furthermore, it is also not necessary to have every card – because what good is a Mentor Cho in your collection if it doesn’t fit into any deck?
