Selling rares

[Rael]

Hello, at the moment I am following this policy when I win a card during spins: I sell it right away if I have six unupgraded copies and six upgraded copies of that card. The ratio behind this reasoning is that I might want to use six copies of that card in a deck and for some reason I might want to use it unupgraded. This is mainly due to some cards changing they behaviour a lot in their upgraded version, for instance Toadfish loses its creature control abilities in the upgraded version, unupgraded Pandemonium can be useful in a Voodoo Doll-based deck and so on. However, most cards do not make much sense to be kept unupgraded (for instance SoRe, SoSe, SoSa, SoFo and many others). Now my question is: apart from cards that change their behaviour when upgraded, is there any good reason for not selling unupgraded cards (in particular rares) when one already has 6 upgraded copies of them?

In many competitive environments the number of allowed upgrades is often restricted (often to 0 in fact). So if you want to partake in them, unupped cards that are otherwise strictly inferior to the upgraded version can still be usefull.

I see, that's a very good point. Just one more question then: are there environments in which one is allowed to use more that six copies of the same card? Because in that case even selling any card you have more than six copies of might be quite a bad idea...

the normal game rules cannot be broken (no more than 6 cards of one kind, no less than 30, no more than 60 in a player deck). I was talking about various kinds of PvP events (organized here in the forum) where players play against each other, occasionally for prizes (simplest example being the weekly tournaments). Often there are special rules that restrict the way you are allowed to use cards moreso than you are in the normal game. The aim of that is to allow decks that are usually not that great to compete and give less wealthy players a better chance (when upgrades are restricted).
