Formula Used

The calculator uses the following formula to estimate the value of a Hearthstone card:

Card Value = (Mana Cost × Rarity Multiplier) × Collection Multiplier

Where:

Mana Cost is the number of mana crystals required to play the card.
Rarity Multiplier is a value that depends on the card's rarity:
- Common: 1.0
- Rare: 1.5
- Epic: 2.0
- Legendary: 3.0
Collection Multiplier is 1.0 if the card is in your collection, or 0.5 if it is not.

This formula provides a rough estimate of a card's value based on its mana cost, rarity, and whether it's in your collection. Keep in mind that actual card values can vary based on market demand, player preferences, and other factors.

Worked Examples

Let's look at a few examples to see how the calculator works in practice.

Example 1: Common Card in Collection

Suppose you have a Common card with a mana cost of 3 that is in your collection.

Mana Cost: 3
Rarity: Common
In Collection: Yes

The calculation would be:

Card Value = (3 × 1.0) × 1.0 = 3

The estimated value of this card is 3.

Example 2: Rare Card Not in Collection

Now consider a Rare card with a mana cost of 5 that is not in your collection.

Mana Cost: 5
Rarity: Rare
In Collection: No

The calculation would be:

Card Value = (5 × 1.5) × 0.5 = 3.75

The estimated value of this card is 3.75.

Example 3: Legendary Card in Collection

Finally, let's look at a Legendary card with a mana cost of 8 that is in your collection.

Mana Cost: 8
Rarity: Legendary
In Collection: Yes

The calculation would be:

Card Value = (8 × 3.0) × 1.0 = 24

The estimated value of this card is 24.
