What to buy: Multiple Super Rares vs One Legendary

I managed to save up 4,110 sparks and was looking to get a shiny new plant. I am debating if I should get 3 or 4 super rare cards or 1 legendary card. Savage Spinach sounds really interesting. A poo...

    Super-Rares, absolutely.

    Let me tell you why I think that:

    If you craft a single legendary you are only getting that one card, so you may have trouble drawing it.

    Drawing one specific card from a deck that has other 39 cards is pretty difficult. I know that a new legendary is something super exciting and that we all want to try it out, but the odds are there. If you spend those 4,000 sparks in crafting 4 super rares, your deck is going to improve significantly higher than if you only crafted 1 card.

    In the end it all comes up to what exactly do you want.

    If you want to improve your deck, spend those sparks on Super Rares.

    If you already have a successful deck but want to improve it further, then craft a Legendary.

I agree with @Azombioso for the most part, especially when you look at the superrare cards available, you can make some very good decks with no legendary but lots of purple.
But, if you are in the need for something, and that one legendary could complete the deck of course you do that.

As a rule, how I have been collecting my cards, I don't craft from a set until I get recycles of superrare or legendary. Sometimes it is just weird luck and you get a set of superrare and then before you can make a dent in others, you keep pulling doubles. I always get the full sets of superrare, and the legendary come when they come unless I have a good legendary in my sights
Big thing is, superrare are playable almost every moment of the game, whereas legendary are more situational...some of them you rarely get to play or even see because of cost

    Well I did not; I got the one Aloesaurus and I have pulled him around 4-5 times in maybe 20 matches. I believe I lost 1 in all the matches I pulled him.

    It is an absolute game changer. I think I even won the match where a sneezing zombie was played on me.

    Here is the counter - In order to get multiple Legendaries you have to start at 1. You don't get so lucky to get 2 Captain Cukes even when redeeming a multideck.I wish I had at least 2 Aloesauruses so I have to start with 1.

    Also I could not find a super rare that I needed 4 of. The most interesting super rare I could see myself getting is Sun Strike. But I cannot see myself carrying 4 in a deck. Maybe 2. And funny enough I got one in the 100 gem Triassic pack a couple days ago.

    Everyone's situation is different so there is no one size fits all. I used 4000 sparks to get max Astro-Shroom a while back (a decision I regret for it is a great card and all but too many cards gave me nightmares when I placed one on the board). Maybe I should have gone Mirror nut but I am missing Pecanolith and the newly added Loco Coco.

      Generally, you will want to go for super rares, because getting 4 will make your deck much more consistent than a deck that both lacks those super rare cards, and has only one of the very good(legendary)card. However, if you are close to completing a certain deck, or if you think that the 1 legendary will make a huge difference, then go for the legendary. Usually super rares are more bang for your buck, but there certainly are a lot of exceptions
