1. The Flash Sale Market Crash Is Coming First things first: do not buy any high-tier cards right now. A massive Flash Sale window is tracked to run through Friday. For the uninitiated, Flash Sales are a market killer in the best way possible. SDS will drop limited-time, heavily discounted packs into the store every hour or half-hour. This causes a sudden, massive influx of rare cards into the community, which absolutely tanks the value of high-tier player items temporarily. If there is a Diamond card you’ve been eyeing all month, Friday afternoon is your best window to scoop it up at a massive discount. Conversely, if you have high-value cards you are planning to sell, you might want to move them before Friday's panic selling starts. 2. New Grinds: Conquest, Showdowns, and Diamond QuestsIf you’ve already finished the Memorial Day packs and wrapped up the May Spotlight Drop 3 program, you won't have to wait long for more offline content. This Friday’s rollout is expanding the program schedule significantly. Expect to see: A Brand-New Conquest Map: Perfect for some easy hidden packs, stubs, and program stars. A New Showdown Event: Get your drafting skills ready for another high-stakes mini-boss run. Fresh Diamond Quest Rewards: New elite cards to add to your squad just for playing the game.
3. Roster Update: Flipping Cards for StubsThis is the big one for the market investors. We are getting a major Live Series roster and attribute update. Players who have been tearing it up in real life over the past two weeks are about to get big attribute boosts, while those in a slump are going to see their ratings take a hit. If you are trying to invest in players you think will go Gold or Diamond, keep one crucial thing in mind: the data metrics typically lock earlier in the week. Real-world performances on Wednesday or Thursday usually won't count toward this Friday's adjustments, so look at the sample size of how players performed up through last weekend.
