Hello there, fellow collectors and gaming enthusiasts — I hope you’re having a great day! I’m excited to dive into an in-depth look at how card progression works within the “Cards Level Up – Merging” system of Stakehouse Den’s Lady Luck Packs. As someone who studies these mechanics closely, I’ll walk you through how it functions, why it matters, and tips for using it smartly.
In essence, the merging mechanism allows you to take multiple copies of the same card (as NFTs) and combine them to level up a card. Each time you perform a merge, it increases the “merge count” of that particular card. When you hit the required count for your card’s rarity and foil type, you unlock a new level.
The required quantities vary depending on two main factors: the rarity of the card (Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary) and whether it’s a Regular or Gold foil version. For instance, to get a Regular Legendary card from level 1 to level 2, you’d need 10 merges. But for Gold-foil cards, the numbers are different — perhaps lower in some cases, reflecting their scarcity and value.
This design has several benefits:
Progression motivation: Instead of simply collecting many duplicates, you now have a tangible path to strengthen individual cards.
Strategic collection: You’ll want to plan which cards you intend to level so your merges aren’t spread too thinly.
Increased value per card: A higher-level card will likely command more utility or worth, making merges a smart long-term move.
Here are a few practical tips to get the most from merging:
Focus on fewer cards: Rather than attempting to boost dozens of cards, prioritize those you expect to use or that have high synergy.
Balance foil types: If you have both Regular and Gold foil variants, compare merge costs and decide which offers more bang for your effort.
Watch for diminishing returns: As levels climb, requirements become steeper. Plan accordingly and don’t waste duplicates unnecessarily.
Check updates: The system is subject to adjustments (last updated 10 months ago) so always review the latest merge tables.
In closing, this merging mechanic injects fresh depth into card ownership and collection strategy within Stakehouse Den’s ecosystem. When used thoughtfully, it turns passive duplicates into active investments in your deck’s strength.
