How to Spend Real Money
The Bottom Line: If you’re willing to spend real money on Arena, you should buy the Welcome Bundle, the Adventurer Bundle, and the Planeswalker Bundle. You can consider the Spark Bundle (it has a better rate for Wild Cards than the evergreen Wildcard Bundle has), but it’s not as good as the rest. These are all one-time deals.
The Mastery Pass bundle can be purchased prior to the release of each set. If you convert the cash to gems, it’s a better rate than the gems you’d spend on it normally. I haven’t done the math on the other prerelease bundles, so I can’t say for sure whether they’re worth it.
But Why?
It’s not rocket science; the one-time deals and limited time deals are always going to have better value than the regular evergreen items for sale. But you’re still spending real-world money, so it’s up to you. (honestly though, go ahead and spend $5 on the Welcome bundle. It’s an insane value for what you’re getting).
