Missed pool 4 card? Also where did the Q&A thread go?? Didn’t want to make a post for this…

Question

So I was under the impression you should get a new pool 4 at least every 480CL. At 1978 I got helicarrier and am now at 2530 without another pool 4 card. Pulls were:

1978 heli, 1990 hulk pixel, 2050 hela, 2086 kingpin, 2122 nick fury, 2194 green goblin, 2206 Spider-Man, 2230 black cat variant, 2254 captain marvel, 2266 Jess jones pixel, 2314 wasp, 2362 mysterio, 2374 blade pixel, 2422 drax, 2434 attuma pixel, 2470 Luke cage (pulled well after the series drop) 2518 quinnjet.

(Just added the card variants in there so I knew I wrote down every cache that had a card shape and I didn’t miss any.) Now I’m not crazy right? I missed a pool 4 pull did I not? I went 552 levels with out a pool 4 card. Anyone else experience this? Even the helicarrier to luke cage was 492 CL between them. What’s up with that?

There is a difference between "at least once every 480CL" (incorrect) and "at least once in every group of 40 reserves" (correct). And yeah, 1 group of 40 reserves correlates to 480CL, which is where this confusion comes from. However, where in that group of 40 reserves you get your 1 is completely random. So for example, if in the first group you get it in the first reserve, and in the next group you get it in the last reserve, that is 78 reserves (=900+CL) without getting one, and that is perfectly possible.

So, if you really want to think of it in terms of CL and not reserves, the correct statement is "at least once every some-random-value-between-480-and-900+ CL".

The 1978 pull was from the group of 10 reserves from 1966 - 2446. Your next series 4 pull should come by 2926 CL.
