Strategy

Having 5 of the same card is a significant portion of most decks, so it’s often best to choose low-cost cards or cards that are vital to your deck’s strategy if you pick the “duplicate four times” option. Just be careful with your hull!

Notes

  • Unlike some cases where you can back out of upgrading/removing cards, choosing to duplicate here will lock you into the choice right away. Make sure you actually want to do so before proceeding!
