Updated. There were a few bids that didn't go through because someone else had already bid an equal or higher value before I could update the spreadsheet.

More heroes have been added to the list, thanks to near 100% participation!

Out of curiosity, what is the timeline for auctions ending?

Well, a good auctioneer wouldn't close down an auction while people are still in a bidding war would he? :P. So I'm not sure exactly, maybe another week? But I will be sure to give a few days notice.

Or you can just pull a Calvadur and bid 16 for your heroes, and then check out of this thread for a while :D.

Nice. Yeah, you don't want to end it too early.

This is a very interesting exercise. There is the fairly straightforward question of "how much am I willing to bid for hero X?" But then you also have to ask "What happens if I win this hero but get outbid on the other two?" I find myself pivoting my deck idea with every bid.

Are we allowed to drop our current bid on a hero we are leading in for one you have added? Just curious....

No, you need to be outbid on a hero in order to make a new bid.

Ok, had a feeling that would be the case. Thanks for the quick reply!

Another week and heroes' bets will skyrocket though, it's gonna be ridiculous... I'm serious here guys, don't blame me when we start bidding 30 for Spirit Pippin in a few more days!! JRSRkLT.png

Spirit Pippin: 30

There were still heroes that haven't had any bids, even before I added more. So any skrocketing prices are not my fault :D

I will bid 5 for grima.
