She's essentially as rare as a SR+. I bought 10 boxes and I only got 3 of her >_<. It's a good thing her skills aren't too good or else she'd be worth a lot more, lol. Due to that extremely rare pull rate, I'm, personally, dubbing the HNX rarity as High Normal Extreme, lol. ~ Sokloeum

It looks like everyone is giving you most of the answer, but not the full thing, lol. Here's a lowdown of the full rarity spectrum. This should give you everything you need to know about the rarities, whether you need to know it or not, lol: N = Normal - A Booster Box-only suffix. Non holo. The most common card available. A total of 48 different N cards per Series. ST = Starter Deck - A Starter Deck-only suffix. Non holo. Like all Starter Deck cards you will always get the same amount of the cards in accordance to the fixed Deck list. ST+ = Starter Deck Holo - A Starter Deck-only suffix. Holo. Like all Starter Deck cards you will always get the same amount of the cards in accordance to the fixed Deck list. Cards ending in -001ST+ have the foil of a R+ while all other ST+ cards have the foil pattern of a R. HN = High Normal - A Booster Box-only suffix. Non holo. A very uncommon card. You usually get between 1 - 4 of a specific HN card per Booster Box. A total of 24 different HN cards per Series. R = Rare - A Booster Box-only suffix. Holo. You only get 12 different R cards per Booster Box (11 if there is a R+ in the Booster Box). A total of 16 different R cards per Series. R+ = Rare+ - A Booster Box-only suffix. Holo. A Rare card with gold lettering for all text except for the Skills. It also has a thin gold 'frame' on the card. Certain cards have wildly different flavor text structures i.e. B03-069R+ Mitama. Also, B01-057R+ Robin (♀) and B01-059R+ are the only Signed Rare+ cards (right now). You get 1 R+ card in every Booster Box where you don't pull a SR+. A total of 8 different R+ cards per Series. SR = Super Rare - A Booster Box-only suffix. Holo. You only get 4 different SR cards per Booster Box (3 if there is a SR+ in the Booster Box). The foil pattern on a SR card has a certain 'texture' on it different from R cards. A total of 12 different SR cards per Series. SR+ = Super Rare+ - A Booster Box-only suffix. Holo. Pretty much the same as a R+ except with the SR foil pattern. Most SR+ cards are Signed cards. The only exceptions are B01-051SR+ Chrom and B01-080SR+ Tharja. You usually get 1 SR+ in every 4 boxes. Sometimes it's 1 in every 5 (if you have luck like me). A total of 6 different SR+ cards per Series. PR = Promo - A Promo-only suffix. Unlike the other rarities, there are no distinctions between holo and non holo promos. It all depends on the card. Another type of card is the Marker Card. These can vary between the Starter Deck-only 'Insignia' cards and the 'full artwork' Marker Cards. The koryukai Marker Cards are both the rarest cards and the only cards with a 'brownish' back. Also, there are a total of 6 Signed cards per Series. These cards are signed by that chara's Voice Actor/Actress. Unpromoted/Special Class cards have a Silver border pattern while Promoted cards have a Gold border pattern. Hopefully this answers your rarity-related question ^_^;. Just go for the R versions. Holo versions (almost) always look better :3. I'm a far better source than either of them ^_~. Here's my List: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1S6BURGo0COFBjVLlBYDLywdhV1SUiU-D6OAthXuO1rk/edit?usp=sharing I also do monthly Sales where (almost) everything is much, much cheaper than what is listed. I have a Sale later on this month. The only problem is that you'll have to figure out what day it is and when I'll hold the Sale :P. The average price of a booster pack is around $3.20. If you factor in S&H and potential foreign transaction fees then that amount is absurdly highly. It's much more cost efficient to get a Booster Box. Try amiami.com since they have the best internationally-friendly prices. Sorry about the long-winded post ^_^;. ~ Sokloeum

+1 Draxal Thanks again :3! ~ Sokloeum

+1 totafan888 +1 Chuy Thanks much :3! ~ Sokloeum

Hey, who knows, you might have a new twist to your version. I mean I have Gerome, Priam, and N Sakura in my Tharja deck (which will become a Kiria deck in the next set) :P. Whoops, sorry. I should've just commented on it in regards to cards currently out, lol. Oh well, he'll be so much better in the next set. Ditto with Minerva :3. According to the list it seems there's only 1 unit between Lucina and Lon'qu, and it seems all of the non-Mirage rehashes are going to get Promoted versions (except for those who can't Promote). Judging by the past Cost 1 HN theme, Cost 4/3 Lon'qu is almost guaranteed to be a SR. The only "exception" is Azura in Series 2, but she was SR in Series 3 so that kind of counts, lol. Although, I'm glad my reply post had some worth :3. Have you considered trying Priam out? Sure he's another 10 Support unit, but he works wonders (like in my Tharja deck). He "cancels out" Gerome and will hit 80 against most common MCs in the game. Right now, I'd have the 1 Gregor and Robin (♂) be replaced for him. Meh, she mentioned the new Severa and I just went with that :P. I've added a disclaimer now, lol. ~ Sokloeum

NOTE: This edit contains Series 4 cards. Thus, this edit is for the future. They were suggested due to the new Severa being mentioned. WARNING: Long-ish post/reply ahead O_O! Huh, I thought you would've run a Marth deck due to your increasing Marth collection :P. Lon'qu is actually going to be quite viable in the next set since the new Severa's first skill helps him out soooo much. If I were to keep with your current deck and only change it "slightly" then I'd go: IN (20): 4x B04-068? Lon'qu (3/2 or 4/3) = His skills are unknown, but he's a Promoted Lon'qu and you need as many as possible. 1x B04-069HN Lon'qu (1) = He can be Supported by your female units and he can easily be 60 on your turn. 2x B04-094SR Severa (4/3) = She can give Lon'qu a quick and easy +20 (+30 total for B01-070R Lon'qu) and can hit pretty hard in this deck. No need to max her yet since I'm not changing this version much. 2x B01-083R Olivia (2) = Why be passive when you can be extremely aggressive? Who cares if you have less Orbs if you can take up to 4 Orbs with just Lon'qu? 3x S01-001ST Chrom (4/3) = Class Change Lon'qu and he can blow up 2 Orbs. Oh, and he gets that +20 boost. Add in Olivia and he's swinging for base 90 and can blow up 4 Orbs by himself. 4x B01-054HN Lucina (1) = Might as well give the deck more Orb destroying power, lol. 2x B01-060N Lissa (1) = Sakura's replacement. 2x B01-069N Sumia (1) = More rescuers. Also gives Tanith another target. OUT (20): 4x B01-071N Lon'qu (1) = His newer version is better. After all, you're still running a lot of female units. 2x B02-013N Sakura (1) = No Hoshido units in this revision. Also, Lissa does the job just as well :P. 4x B03-064N Shigure (1) = See Sakura. 4x B03-071N Hisame (2) = See Sakura 4x B03-047SR Black Knight (6/5) = He's a great unit, but he's just too slow in this deck. 2x B01-076N Cordelia (1) = Better to have 2x rescuers than just 1 since Shigure is no longer in the deck. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My revision changes the entire deck around to make it extremely aggressive in exchange for losing the flier Support. Anyway, I'd say: IN (36): 4x B04-068? Lon'qu (3/2 or 4/3) = His skills are unknown, but he's a Promoted Lon'qu and you need as many as possible. 1x B04-069HN Lon'qu (1) = He can be Supported by your female units and he can easily be 60 on your turn. 4x B04-094SR Severa (4/3) = She can give Lon'qu a quick and easy +20 (+30 total for B01-070R Lon'qu) and she can almost always reach 90 - 120 in this deck. 4x B04-095N Severa (1) = Her skills are unknown, but can chances are it doesn't involve Cordelia. 3x B01-083R Olivia (2) = She's a Sword unit who can make anyone attack twice. For 5 Bonds you can make B01-070R Lon'qu take between 2 - 4 Orbs in a turn with no chance for the opponent to evade. 3x S01-001ST Chrom (4/3) = Since you now have a total of 8 Promoted Lon'qus, that means a ton of chances to break 2 Orbs and get that +20 boost. If this Chrom is the only other Sword unit on the field then B01-070R Lon'qu becomes a 2 Orb-destroying 80 Attack beast! 3x S06-001ST Itsuki (4/3) = He's in due to his first skill. Now you don't have to worry about your opponent's back row :3. 3x B04-053HN Itsuki (1) = Chuck a Chrom and move an enemy unit. No more opposing MCs hiding in the Rear Guard while Itsuki is here, lol. 3x B04-063SR Lucina (4/3) = Chances are Lon'qu is going to be Class Changed by the time you deploy her. She gives all other Class Changed allies +10 when she's Class Changed. - OR - 3x P04-00?PR Lucina (2) = Chances are Lon'qu is going to be Class Changed by the time you deploy her. She gives all other Class Changed allies +10 until the end of the turn when she's deployed. 4x B01-054HN Lucina (1) = More 2x Orb-breaking chances :3! 4x B01-079N Nowi (1) = Since this is now a pure Awakening deck, her addition makes for easy Bond acceleration :3. OUT (36): 4x B01-071N Lon'qu (1) = His newer version is better. 4x B01-076N Cordelia (1) = No need for Cordelia in this build. 3x B01-077N Gregor (2) = He most likely won't be attacked which gives B01-070R Lon'qu a +10 boost, but Gregor himself lacks any purpose outside of that and a free Bond. 2x B02-013N Sakura (1) = No Hoshido units in my feedback revision. 4x B03-064N Shigure (1) = See Sakura. 4x B03-071N Hisame (2) = See Sakura 2x B03-039N Tanith (3/2) = I've took out a lot of the fliers so she won't be getting that +10 boost since only Elincia is left. 4x B03-047SR Black Knight (6/5) = He's a great unit, but he's just too slow. I'd rather deploy Cost 4 Chrom/Itsuki and Cost 2 Olivia/Lucina than deploy him in this deck :P. 4x B03-004SR Elincia (4/3) = Need room for Itsuki. Also making this a pure Awakening deck. 4x S05-002ST Elincia (3/2 - I'm assuming you mean this one) = Need room for Lucina. Also this revision is a pure Awakening deck. 1x B01-078R Nowi (3) = I need the room and she's the only one left to cut. That just brings her down from 4 copies to 3 :P. Basically this version of the deck focuses on making Lon'qu a heavy hitter who can destroy at least 2 Orbs a turn [Chrom, Lucina, and Olivia]. There's also a lot of units who are devoted to giving Lon'qu an additional boost when the conditions are right [severa, Chrom, and Lucina]. Also the Sword units' 1 range weakness is moot in this version [itsuki]. Then, of course, you don't have to worry too much if you're falling behind [Robin (♂)]. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In regards to just your questions, Tanith is fine. Personally, I'd rather add in Mia since she gets +20 with a Sword Support and has Attack Emblem. If you only want to run a max of 2 B04-094SR Severa then you can take out 1 each B01-076N Cordelia and B03-064N Shigure. I'd probably run just 2x of each and have the rest be Sumia/Cherche/Marcia instead so you have more targets for Tanith's skills and more rescue opportunities. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Welp, that's... um... those are my takes on your deck. My opinion is simply my own so you obviously don't have to listen to me, lol XD. ~ Sokloeum

+1 DaisukeRei Yeah, that was really, really fun XD. If only we could meet up again to play once Series 4 is out. My new Kiria, Corrin (♀), Lucina, and Tsubasa decks shall await you if we do versus again ^_~. Thanks much :3! ~ Sokloeum

+1 Kirie +2 Together We Ride +1 Draxal +1 Satin. Dark Lord of Fabric (a.k.a. Ether) +1 negi25 +1 CaitlynMellark +1 Chuy +1 totafan888 +1 Wolt +2 Foodies +1 Rusty_Winnebago Thanks y'all :3! ~ Sokloeum

It's still open until midnight tomorrow night so that means it's still open for a little less than 26 hours :P. I ship internationally about 1/3 as much as I ship within the US so shipping out to Australia is fine. Now shipping to somewhere like Antarctica is a no-go, lol. Since more people are joining, the initial S&H keeps decreasing so it'd be worth it if whatever card(s) you want, after S&H and whatnot, would cost less than if you were to buy them elsewhere. If you join, then the split S&H would be a little over $5 (not accounting for other things for simplicity). As long as you don't buy a starter deck or something heavy like that, then the S&H from me to you would be $12.83. Simply put, if the card is so cheap that you can't find it at that price anywhere else and you want it, then this would be a more cost efficient way to go. If you can find it cheaper after S&H then I'd go for the cheaper option. ~ Sokloeum

Tsubasa promo: $16.50 ~ Sokloeum

They don't. I'm just having them ship to my warehouse address and then ship from there to me :P. ~ Sokloeum

Oh dang, you ninja'd me, Chuy, lol. Thanks for that :P. I type way, way too slowly T^T. To CaitlynnMellark: Yup, that's the gist of it. Also, since I get discounted shipping everyone I ship out to will pay less for their individual shipping expense compared to those who have to pay the retail prices for shipping. ~ Sokloeum

I've pre-preemptively added you to the list just to see what the split S&H would be. It's quite awesome to see how much having even 1 extra person does to the price, lol. Thanks for joining in :3! Also, if you want, I can combine anything you get from this test run with your other order so you don't have to pay for anything after the first payment. Also, it seems amiami might have gotten the CD in earlier than expected O_O! Due to the shipping cost (¥1200) I'm suspecting either the pre-order poster didn't come with the order OR they only gave me one (which, of course, would be yours). I'll let you know either late this week or sometime next week when the package arrives. Well, the S&H after the first payment would be $12.83 in that case. I should've thought about this before we did the trade so I could've sent you everything in 1 go, lol. You're still welcome to join in since I think there'd be 4+ people joining which would demolish that huge initial shipping cost :3. ~ Sokloeum

EDIT: Entry is CLOSED so no more joining. Also, I won't be doing this again in the future due to PayPal refusing to add a confirmed foreign address to my account T^T. Currently Participating (4): Me Chuy Together We Ride CaitlynMellark This means that we've saved ¥2587 off the initial shipping cost O_O! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OK, for those who check out my Price List (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1S6BURGo0COFBjVLlBYDLywdhV1SUiU-D6OAthXuO1rk/edit?usp=sharing), you may have noticed the TEST tab. Those who check out my Want List know that I want Elise SR REALLY BADLY. Trading would be fine, but would take more resources than I'm willing to give up since most everyone wants the cards I now don't have too many of, lol. The next best course of action is buying her. So luyairis did a similar service thingy recently and it got me thinking that that would be the best way to get her. Anyway, long story short: 01) I'll try and order all the requested Fire Emblem 0 cards from here: http://www.amenitydream.com/page/46. 02) Everyone interested in joining in will split up the S&H cost. 03) If there's enough people joining in, then 1 person has already committed to joining in as well. 04) I'll impose a 5% commission fee to cover for materials and whatnot. 05) When the package of stuff comes in then I'll ship out the cards to you. Doing it this way means you save A LOT more on S&H since you'd only have to pay $2.54 - $2.60* compared to $10+. 06) Offer valid until 11:59p PST TONIGHT**. 07) Since the per order limit of a certain card is 3 or 4, if more than the max allotted of those cards are needed then there will be 2 (or more) order runs. 08) If that's the case, then I'll revise the spreadsheet to separate the international shipping charge from the domestic shipping charge. 09) If I can't get your order through, then I will refund you the entire amount. 10) Sorry, you can't use your discounts or credits (for those who have them) for this. 11) If you have an order from me and I haven't shipped it yet (since it's currently in limbo), then I'll combine your past order and this order so you don't have to pay any additional anything after the initial payment. 12) If you do join in, then I'll PM you the total shortly after midnight. I'll need the payment by ~3p PST on the 10th since I'll be submitting the order by then. * Please note that this only applies to those in the US. If anyone outside of the US wants in then, unfortunately, the S&H would be more. ** I'm opening this up until tonight since I need those Elise SR fairly quickly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you want in then just PM or e-mail me the details. I'll update the TEST tab accordingly if anything changes. (Maybe here as well :P) ~ Sokloeum

Tsubasa promo: $13.50 ~ Sokloeum

Ah, so that's why that signed Aqua pic had a white box over it, lol XD. Welp, I guess the signed papers are a no-go then T^T. Dang, getting to meet them would be awesome. Oh yeah, Aqua promos: $32 Too bad I'll most likely lose all the auctions since I work on the 10th T^T. ~ Sokloeum

The artbook is on fire now, lol. Signed Artbook III: $50 Also, did any of you get the signed Camilla/Hinoka poster by mayo or the signed Aqua poster by Kozaki Yusuke? I'd definitely pay for those :3. ~ Sokloeum

Well, I guess an auction for the Felicia marker card has started :P. Too bad there's no Jakob marker card as well :(. Here's my bids: * Felicia marker card = $6.50 * Aqua promos = $25.00 * Signed Artbook 3 = $30.00 * Tsubasa promo = whatever the starting price is as long as it's below $10. Don't know if I need more of her, lol. This should be fun, lol. ~ Sokloeum
