gollark: Messy dragons are cool and arguably valuable too.
gollark: I think that "collect cool dragons" is a perfectly viable strategy in a game about collecting cool dragons.
gollark: Arguably, anything longer than about 35G is rarer than... a lot of rares, I guess?
gollark: Value drops exponentially after CB - unless it's a really rare thing like a prize - until you get to stupidly high generations, at which point it shoots up again.
gollark: There's a weird value curve for dragons, I think.
