Triumphant: rip it or buy it?
Completing Triumphant as singles (about $269 minus the chases) costs less than a box's worth of packs (~$14,400, mostly dupes) — so buy the singles you actually want. Heads up: this set's sealed product trades as an appreciated collectible (~$400/pack), so "ripping" really means cracking a collector item — singles are the practical play.
Buy the singles.
- A box's worth of packs: ~$14,400 (cheapest sealed unit is the booster pack at $400).
