Despite increasing your chances at new cards which may be more valuable, I keep thinking that people who are doing that aren't taking into consideration the time value of the packs. That is, if you open them now, you get to do something with those cards now, either play them, sell them, or lock them to complete missions. And all of those things can get you more PP or more cards which can you get more and more.

What do you do? And is saving your packs really somehow more valuable? FWIW, I am saving them right now just to try it, but I'm not sure it's the smart play.

For the most part, I open them as I get them (or as I can get to them). One can justify the idea of waiting till something great is released, but the reality is - the odds are so against you anyway, you might as well open them early and get a valuable card as soon as possible.

More than once, I have pulled a Diamond card I could put in the lineup immediately rather than wait till the end of the week (ie: end of the current season).

I would agree it's more fun to open 20 packs at a time, but the odds are the same if you open one at a time as well.
