Bullet Joe

Lathum · 10-22-2025, 10:19 AM

I have 860 clubhouse points.

My team is all 101+cards and bounces between HG and LD. I play in the daily/weekly open, usually doing well enough to qualify for the quarterly tournaments. I also play quick open tournaments.

I don't quite keep up with the big players, as I am FTP. I grind through Twitch, daily drafts, and some luck in tournament.

Bullet Joe would obviously help my team, but I really want to grind the other 140 points and o the all historical perfect pack.

My obvious concern is getting all 100 duplicates, I am completed most missions, and quick selling them for at or near minimum.

What would you do?

Personally, I'd get Bullet Joe. One of the best players in the game right now, IMO

I know!

I have such FOMO with these stars and am a bit of a gambler.

It's ok to gamble but at least be aware of the odds against you. 2 out of 3 perfect cards found in packs are 100's and most of these are from the launch deck. Only 1 out of 3 are 101 or more. Therefore, the most likely outcome is 3 lives, 2 launch deck 100's, and 1 card 101 or more. Good luck. You can prove this for yourself by studying the card shop and sorting by release date. You'll have to subtract out clubhouse, PTWC, PTCS, PTMS, Limited edition. Look at the L10 and see how few cards there are that would make this pack break even for you.

Just for the record, he specifically stated "All-Historical Perfect Pack," the one that costs 1,000 CS on the Clubhouse Shop.

Sorry, I missed that, but then the most likely pack is 4 100's and 2 101+. I am hoping that it will be possible to someday buy All-Historical Perfect Packs for PP instead of stars as I want to buy that for my packs only team.
I wish the same opportunities were always available to buyers with PP that are always available to buyers with stars.

anyone can buy pp: you have to play the game to buy stars. the clubhouse shop is amazing for that reason. if stars ever become directly swappable with pp, the concept is ruined.

Is that he grinds tournaments with his main team, and probably doesn't have the time or the inclination to start grinding for a 2nd team.

You could give say, 1 star for every 5 wins above 81 (sorry, no fractions) to any team at the rookie, stone, and Iron levels, 2 for the silver levels, 3 for the gold levels, and 5 for the diamond level.

If someone decided to play the "I'm going to win 130 games in Rookie league and then play all irons in the playoffs" game, it would quickly become evident and measures could be taken. So realistically, it would take an FTP team all year to get 100 stars. Maybe it should be a star for each win above 81. That would at least give them the ability to complete the missions requiring multiple Clubhouse irons or bronzes.

I never suggested that. I want to be able to buy historical perfect packs for PP any time, like I can buy historical perfect packs for 170 stars any time. I've been waiting for weeks to advance my packs only team, but only thing on offer was historical rainbow packs for 20K more for a likely worthless launch deck diamond and zero chance for a 2nd perfect card. So, I lost discipline and bought a Head of the Class pack and got my head handed to me on a 101 Randy Johnson platter.
