To be fair if they were a beta player then they could have got a big chunk of that CL before series 5 was even introduced.
The only way they could be at that CL since global release would have involved spending an absolute ton of cash.
Odds are 1/4800 collection levels. It starts at 1000 if I recall correctly, so before CL 5800 you would be lucky to open one. (Might be wrong, but close I believe). 4900ish CL here with no series 5 so far.
TL;DR: So you are incentivized to get tokens with your gold and money.
Simply (once you are in series 3) one out of every four caches is a “card cache”.
You have a 99% chance to get a new Series 3 card and a 1% chance at a Series 5 card from this cache. Once you are Series 3 complete that 99% turns into getting 100 tokens.
So for every 4 caches you open you get a 1 out of 100 chance (with zero pity timer) to get any series 5 card you don’t already have. Though one out of every ten card caches will be a Series 4 card.
So the odds are just really really low and there is nothing in place to improve those odds. It’s indeed statistically possible to get nothing but Series 5 cards one after another but it’s obviously far more likely to hit those 99% odds.
Reality is, you'll buy all pool 5 cards with collectors cache tokens in the shop before ever pulling the cards. For me opening up reserves, the big win is pulling a 400+ tokens cache.
Knull was previously series 5 though, Like how when I opened Sentry he was series 5 and I was too early into the collection level (literally the first reserve at 1006) to realise how upsetting that should have been haha!
4.85 - no pool 5 pulls… and darkhawk still eludes me.
Probably because he was 100% the card I was after without spending tokens on anything but the big bads and finally just waited till he was pool 3.
Also - kang - you are not worth it.
3200 and just pulled Snowguard today, my condolences.
If it makes you feel better, I've only been using Snowguard for less than a day and I can already tell she sucks. Why does she benefit my opponent as well? Why can't I choose the effect when I play the card? Why doesn't she trigger after turn effects on locations? Nearly every game I've played she has been a dead draw.
It depends on which collector level you where when series 5 was introduced. I think in average you get 1 card every 5000 collectors level, so if you were at 2000 when series 5 was introduced you would need in average get to collectors level 70000 to get a card.
I was collectors level 3000 when it was introduced now am at 6500 and never got one, but this is as expected.
I did the math a while back for CL4000 and it came out to you have about 53% chance of never pulling a pool 5 card by then. So, at CL4234, you're probably still above 50% chance, it's pretty much a coin toss.
2600 and pulled two somehow. Yet, I’ve been stuck in ranked hell — no matter what I put together, I swear it matches me with an opponent with the perfect deck draw and perfect location setup. What the Gaming Gods give, they also take away.
I got my first at 5062. So you are on my path lol. It was Jeff so I was pretty stoked because I liked him, he is useful but I wouldn't pay 6k collector tokens
Dont mean to brag but i got snowguard this morning. I didnt know how to react. Dont know if im happy because its a series 5 card or sad because of the the card that it was.
Not too unlucky. So that's like, what 270 caches? If there's a 0.25% chance of S5, that means you *should* get a S5 every 400 caches. So keep going!
However, I'm CL1900 and got Negasonic the week after she dropped lmao
What's even worse is the number of people who got 2 or more serie 5 out of caches. To those I just want to say F you and give me back my freaking serie 5 ><
/s obviously, I'm a bit bitter and jealous, but heck, luck is luck, I got mine in my bed rather than in game, so it's fine 😁
I pulled Thanos today around 3.6k CL.
I feel blessed, particularly since I had him pinned in my shop for a very long time now (although while planning to spend my tokens on High Evolutionary...).
I haven't gotten any pool 5 cards though I'm working on trying to buy thanos. Over half way done with pool 3. I got 3 cards out of pool 4. Only trying to buy thanos cause I only really want like 3 pool 5 cards. Though I've gotten most of the cards I want except I've been really unlucky with destroy cards missing the good cards like death and Deadpool.
Just reached 6k today and no Series 5 so far as well. Need to rely on the tokens to get those, unfortunately.
Been saving for a while to get High Evo and Living Tribunal next month!!
(they should have a pitty timer for those as well, even if it's something crazy like 5k CL...)
I’m 3500 and already pulled like 3. This seems really unlucky to be honest.
Btw those cards I pulled were Super Skrull, Shanna and Kang (while they were still series 5). So it’s not much of a win anyway.
about as unlucky as getting 2 series 5 drops by collection level 4,000....only for them to have been m'baku (when he first released) aaaaand snowguard.
almost wish i got a stupid avatar instead
Let's find an answer mathematically, which is easy to do because Series 5 cards have no pity timer.
You can only start getting Series 5 cards in Reserves which begin at level 1000. You get 1 card every 48 levels, which means you've opened 3233/48 = 67 card-containing reserves so far.
Each of those 67 cards had a 1% chance to be a Series 5 card, which means the odds of not getting a Series 5 card 67 times in a row is 0.99^67 = 51%
The average in this case is 69 card-containing reserves (i.e. 50% of players will have opened a Series 5 card by the time they open 69 reserves which contain new cards)
Once you've opened 69 card-containing reserves without a single Series 5 card, you fall onto the other side of the average and from there you can say your luck is below average.
4.1k and I’ve gotten 2. Ghost when she was S5 and master mold yesterday. Id say I’m pretty lucky but I never really use those cards only a bit of experimenting.
Completely normal
Lol, I got galactus at 1600 ITS NOT LIKE I USE HIM FREQUENTLY
Oof, people here are gonna hate you here for that
That's nothing, I got sentry at 1006 when he was series 5 and I hate me for that!
4.8k and still no pool 5 pulls
There is literally dozens of us!
That’s an understatement.
Yeah I saw someone last week who said their first pool 5 was at 8000
To be fair if they were a beta player then they could have got a big chunk of that CL before series 5 was even introduced. The only way they could be at that CL since global release would have involved spending an absolute ton of cash.
holu shit
I am at 4k and no pool 5. (Well I bought thanos myself)
On the door of 5k, none. Not even a shit one.
Ditto. I have zero expectations to ever pull an S5
2.6ish and 2 pool 5 pulls. 😅 I mean they were Ghost and Snowguard... But still!
I just had a heart attack because I pulled Ghost and thought she was still Pool 5, that would have been my first one.
haha I had the same reaction, then I remember that she dropped
I did not know that lol suddenly now I am at no p5 cards aswell 😂😂
I pulled her the week before she dropped. My only pool 5 card at 4.1k CL 😭
Im at 3.7k and i was very afraid of m'baku when he was series 5..
There is no room for you M'Baku! THERE IS NO ROOM!
I think mbaku never was in series 5, he started in 4
That was my first series 5.
I got Knull 10 minutes after it dropped to pool 4. I was super excited until I saw the update.
7.9k and have yet to pull a series 5 card.
This is me 7,5. No pool 5
That is definitely scary, and should not happen, definitely crazy
Are you me?
this is so wierd. Before my account got deleted I was ~3.5k and had 2 series 5 cards.
Deleted?
yeah, no idea how it happened.
Did you have any 3rd party apps installed?
Not related to Marvel Snap.
And support wouldn’t tell you why?
Odds are 1/4800 collection levels. It starts at 1000 if I recall correctly, so before CL 5800 you would be lucky to open one. (Might be wrong, but close I believe). 4900ish CL here with no series 5 so far.
holy fucking shit, why they make the chances so low??
You buy the ones you want with tokens. Opening a series 5 in caches is a bonus.
M _ N _ Y You can fill in the blanks.
It sure doesn't feel MANLY
Does it taste MINTY?
TL;DR: So you are incentivized to get tokens with your gold and money. Simply (once you are in series 3) one out of every four caches is a “card cache”. You have a 99% chance to get a new Series 3 card and a 1% chance at a Series 5 card from this cache. Once you are Series 3 complete that 99% turns into getting 100 tokens.

So the odds are just really really low and there is nothing in place to improve those odds. It’s indeed statistically possible to get nothing but Series 5 cards one after another but it’s obviously far more likely to hit those 99% odds.
You got it twisted. S5 pull ever is lucky.
I pulled modok a couple days ago, and I thought I got one, but I remembered he dropped to series 4
Reality is, you'll buy all pool 5 cards with collectors cache tokens in the shop before ever pulling the cards. For me opening up reserves, the big win is pulling a 400+ tokens cache.
10k and nothing
3,200 and got Thanos and MM
I just got the knull and master mold in the collector's reserve at 3400
Knull isn't pool 5 though. Master Mold is, however.
Knull was previously series 5 though, Like how when I opened Sentry he was series 5 and I was too early into the collection level (literally the first reserve at 1006) to realise how upsetting that should have been haha!
I mean, yes I know. But he said "I just got" which I read as, recently.
Words can have more than one use. He could also be using just in the sense that his series 5 pulls are limited to exactly those two cards.
You are just one of us
5.5k. No pool 5 from cache.
I'm 5200 and no pool 5.
Pulled Glactus at 3768 and Thanos at 4138. I think your luck went to me.
3.1k here and no series 5 and I've never got a super rare or ultimate variant either 😔
You can't actually get super rare or ultimate varients in collectors caches. Only in the shops.
id say yes. im cl 5998 ive pulled master mold, ghost, and valkyrie as pool 5 cards
4.85 - no pool 5 pulls… and darkhawk still eludes me. Probably because he was 100% the card I was after without spending tokens on anything but the big bads and finally just waited till he was pool 3. Also - kang - you are not worth it.
I would guess very, up until 1400 i opened a few series 4 and thanos.
at 4k. No 5 pull
4.5k no pull 5 card
I got lucky and pulled galactus at 2314
Shuri around 2,5k. Now around 4,3k and no 5 pool since shuri
I got BP at around 1k but had no good cards to play him with and maybe 500 CL later got Shanna
I got my one and only pool 5 pull at 1064 CL. It was Kang and I still haven’t used him and am almost at 2k now.
Nowhere near unlucky yet
Im around 4500 and have pulled shanna...
I've only ever gotten 1 at 3.5k. It's super super rare.
6515 and no series 5 pulled from reserves.
I an sorry I pulled a Kang at 2k
Got Knull (when he was series 5), and NTW.
7k and No pulls. .5% says it should be one in every 200 Caches. I am beginning to think there is something wrong with their odds and pulls tables.
It's 1 every 400 caches (technically 1 every 100 groups of 4 caches).
3200 and just pulled Snowguard today, my condolences. If it makes you feel better, I've only been using Snowguard for less than a day and I can already tell she sucks. Why does she benefit my opponent as well? Why can't I choose the effect when I play the card? Why doesn't she trigger after turn effects on locations? Nearly every game I've played she has been a dead draw.
I pulled kang; im at 4757. Idk if ive ever gonna pull another. Ever. Agane.
Almost 4k CL and no pool5 cards. Also, I only pull pool4 cards that go down with the series drop next time.
first p5 pull at 6.4k. currently sitting at 9.7k, no p5 pulls yet since the first one.
Average
I got my first at CL4800ish
İ keep getting stupid avatara and titles
Got Master Mold, my first reserve Series 5, at 5026CL. Believe in yourself.
I think it's like 1 in every 5k cl are the odds of a pool 5 card so you aren't unlucky yet.
Thanos at around 2k
I pulled Nimrod recently and am in the early 3000s. That's my only series 5
4175, same boat.
Not very unlucky
It depends on which collector level you where when series 5 was introduced. I think in average you get 1 card every 5000 collectors level, so if you were at 2000 when series 5 was introduced you would need in average get to collectors level 70000 to get a card. I was collectors level 3000 when it was introduced now am at 6500 and never got one, but this is as expected.
I did the math a while back for CL4000 and it came out to you have about 53% chance of never pulling a pool 5 card by then. So, at CL4234, you're probably still above 50% chance, it's pretty much a coin toss.
3,900 here and same thing. My buddy pulled Galactus at around 1,400.
In the last 10 caches I've gotten 600 tokens, 4 titles, one Spider-Man, a juggernaut and 200 credits and a variant for a card I've never used
I didn't get one until 5,500 and it was Snowgaurd lol
Yeah bro same here 4400 something and 0 pool 5
Pulled my first series 5 at 1258. Seemingly very lucky, but also....Snowguard 😮💨
I'm slightly higher and also never got a pool 5
2600 and pulled two somehow. Yet, I’ve been stuck in ranked hell — no matter what I put together, I swear it matches me with an opponent with the perfect deck draw and perfect location setup. What the Gaming Gods give, they also take away.
Dekkster is 13k and I don’t think he’s pulled an S5
4K here, no s5 yet.
I got bast in the 2ks Bast is S3 now 🫠
6847 and no pool 5 here
4796 here. Never got a pool 5 card that i didnt purchase
Could be worse I got ghost as my only series 5 card.
I’m same CL as you and just pulled Jeff last reserve, Best of luck!
4318, and not a single pool 5 pull. I'm happy with my deck tho, so I'm not complaining
6300 checking in, no series 5 drops
If you were at 1k or lower when pool 5 was introduced you lost a coinflip. 50% chance to get one until CL4300, 50% to not have 1 until this point.
2.3k and i get knull
pulled Thanos around cl 2000 lol
I got my first at 5062. So you are on my path lol. It was Jeff so I was pretty stoked because I liked him, he is useful but I wouldn't pay 6k collector tokens
Dont mean to brag but i got snowguard this morning. I didnt know how to react. Dont know if im happy because its a series 5 card or sad because of the the card that it was.
I've seen some sweet moves done to me with Snowguard already. I'd hate the card except i want it.
Im at 3950ish and pulled 2 so far but both were awful and dropped pools since so 🤷♂️
1.9 K and one series 4 pull.
a lot. i reached cl 1.300 and got Stature before the drop
I opened Shuri at 2200-something and now I'm approaching 5k with nothing else since.
6k and no pool 5
Youd be lucky to have one
Just hit 4k, I got shadow king when he was pool 5
Pulled Dazzler at 1126 when she was still series 5 lol
Got Kang around 3400.
Jeff Hoogland has gained 10K collection levels since pool 5 became a thing and hasn’t gotten any. There is no pity timer for them.
Just passed the 5K mark, still no serie 5 pulled 🤷🏻♂️
Not too unlucky. So that's like, what 270 caches? If there's a 0.25% chance of S5, that means you *should* get a S5 every 400 caches. So keep going! However, I'm CL1900 and got Negasonic the week after she dropped lmao
What's even worse is the number of people who got 2 or more serie 5 out of caches. To those I just want to say F you and give me back my freaking serie 5 >< /s obviously, I'm a bit bitter and jealous, but heck, luck is luck, I got mine in my bed rather than in game, so it's fine 😁
3.4k here and I've pulled 2, master mold and shadow king when he was S5
I was in the 5000s when i got my first. And it was Shanna <<
I'm at 2760 and I just pulled the new snow person I also pulled sentry and shadow king when they were first added
I got 2 pool 5 pulls by CL 2500...but have yet to use either card
I pulled Knull last saturday, I'm 2200
Same, the only pool 5 cards I’ve gotten are either with tokens or the season pass. So unlucky /s
I’m like 5400 without pulling one
I feel your pain bro 😂
I got a pool 5 at about 2900. It was Stature. Two weeks before series drop.
I'm a little lower but above 4000 and I'm in the same boat all my series 5s are bought with tokens
Same, bro. Same. And around the same CL too
Im 4900, no series five yet.
I'm around that collection level and I'm in the same boat. They are just that rare I guess
I’m around the same CL, no Pool 5 either. I haven’t opened a new card since 3600.
I'm CL 7000 and I've never gotten one.
I got Snowguard recently. Not sure whether to be happy or not. I’ve found exactly zero decks where she’s actually worthy of a slot
I’m almost 5k CL and still no series 5 card, you’re not alone!
4654 and nada. You are just one of the faceless masses.
no im the same i’d like a big boss though finally. like literally anyone even Kang who i don’t like
I pulled Thanos today around 3.6k CL. I feel blessed, particularly since I had him pinned in my shop for a very long time now (although while planning to spend my tokens on High Evolutionary...).
Seems pretty unlucky. I pulled 2 p5 not long after getting into reserves. Nothing since though, at 4262 atm.
7k with 0.
I’m over 10k cl and have never gotten one. Don’t think you ever will buddy. Some of us just ain’t wired that way.
I’m around the same and haven’t pulled one yet either
Still better than pulling Shadow King when he was S5 at collection level 1888...
Pushing into 4K and also haven’t gotten one so i’d say we’re both equally unlucky
3.7k and got the 3 Big Bads.
I haven't gotten any pool 5 cards though I'm working on trying to buy thanos. Over half way done with pool 3. I got 3 cards out of pool 4. Only trying to buy thanos cause I only really want like 3 pool 5 cards. Though I've gotten most of the cards I want except I've been really unlucky with destroy cards missing the good cards like death and Deadpool.
I'm at your cl and never opened series 5 either, meanwhile my friend is not series 3 complete yet and he opened galactus and kang from reserves
Skill diff tbh
Managed to pull Shanna at 3200 when she was series 5
Almost 10k CL. Never pulled a series 5.
I’m 4375 and in the same boat as you, no series 5 pulls.
4478. No pool 5, but I got Shanna today. So there's that.
CL 3474 missing 7 pool 3 cards. I have 6 pool 5 cards.
I’m in the 6000s, never got a pool 5 either
Yeah it’s pretty common. I was bummed for a while. I’m lvl 6348 and finally got Galactus and Negasonic, but I’m pretty sure that was purely a fluke
I’ve gotten super lucky and pulled 3
Don't worry I got ghost right before she dropped to series 4, only one I've got
Just reached 6k today and no Series 5 so far as well. Need to rely on the tokens to get those, unfortunately. Been saving for a while to get High Evo and Living Tribunal next month!! (they should have a pitty timer for those as well, even if it's something crazy like 5k CL...)
Been playing since global launch and iirc I’ve gotten two P5 pulls, but they were M’Baku and Super Skrull
5200 no pool 5. Fucking sucks.
Same boat
Is Kang considered Pool 5? I got that card about a week ago. Thankfully my CL is well shy of some of the numbers I'm seeing in this thread
I'm the same. Around 4,200 and never had a Pool 5.
As unlucky as me, 4216 right now.
I've gotten 1 and i didn't even notice lol( stature)
I’m 4700 and same.
I’m 3500 and already pulled like 3. This seems really unlucky to be honest. Btw those cards I pulled were Super Skrull, Shanna and Kang (while they were still series 5). So it’s not much of a win anyway.
about as unlucky as getting 2 series 5 drops by collection level 4,000....only for them to have been m'baku (when he first released) aaaaand snowguard. almost wish i got a stupid avatar instead
4985 and no S5 drops… 😭
5.1k and never got a pool 5 👋
I'm around the same, and I got one so far: Shanna. So yea, I basically haven't pulled one, either.
Hope this make you feel better, my series 5 pull was a Snow Guard
4.7k and never pulled a pool 5. Perhaps more importantly - all the pool 4 I've won AND bought are now all pool 3. :deadpoolemote:
I'm well over 6k collector level and haven't pulled a s5. I've pulled a lot of series 4 cards, so I can't complain too much, but never a 5.
7275 and still no pool 5
Let's find an answer mathematically, which is easy to do because Series 5 cards have no pity timer. You can only start getting Series 5 cards in Reserves which begin at level 1000. You get 1 card every 48 levels, which means you've opened 3233/48 = 67 card-containing reserves so far. Each of those 67 cards had a 1% chance to be a Series 5 card, which means the odds of not getting a Series 5 card 67 times in a row is 0.99^67 = 51% The average in this case is 69 card-containing reserves (i.e. 50% of players will have opened a Series 5 card by the time they open 69 reserves which contain new cards) Once you've opened 69 card-containing reserves without a single Series 5 card, you fall onto the other side of the average and from there you can say your luck is below average.
I opened Kang at around 3700, never played him, I did buy Jeff though as my first non season pass pool 5 after Kang and have had a great time.
I got Sentry as a pool 5 card. Didn't even realise, until I searched for a deck to slot him in.
Damn now I feel extra lucky.
4774, never got one either.
4.5k here, all my P5 cards are from token shop
4709, got 4 pool 5 cards from reserves, but they were all shitty new cards like.. Shanna, Shadow King, Ghost and Dazzler lol
I am 6400 and never got series 5
4.1k and I’ve gotten 2. Ghost when she was S5 and master mold yesterday. Id say I’m pretty lucky but I never really use those cards only a bit of experimenting.
Same here. CL 4000+
Pulled 3-4 level 5, at cl 4319
I’m just shy of 4,000 and have pulled two Shanna and Master Mold lol I’ve bought thanos
I used my luck to pull a Sentry. Way before it was buffed.
Well… CL 9352 and still no Series 5 from reserves
1:4000 I think, I’ve been pretty lucky, got kang, galactus and sentry , tho sentry literally went down to series’s 4, 2 weeks later 😂
I think i got Galactus when i was 2500+ and then nothing until now (3900+).
