Enter the card's live bid and $/s, compare the recovery time with the length of your session, then check that the win leaves your protected cash reserve intact.
A card can move tiers as the auction price changes, even when its artwork and rarity stay the same.
Best income-to-bid ratio in your comparison, repeatable $/s, and enough cash left for the next opportunity.
Good payback time and reliable income, with a smaller but still protected post-auction reserve.
Acceptable income when competition stays low; move down a tier as the live bid rises.
Long recovery time, weak income per 1,000 bid, or a winning price that cuts into your reserve.

| Variant or system | How to use it | Record with the card |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | Build baseline income and compare auction prices. | Player, displayed $/s, winning bid |
| Gold | Compare a special variant against the same player's baseline. | Income change, Luck, server |
| Diamond | Test whether the higher bid still produces a practical payback. | Bid, payback, remaining cash |
| Rainbow | Compare visible income before chasing the artwork. | Mutation, passes, repeat interval |
| Secret | Treat rarity and economics as separate decisions. | Luck, 2X Secret state, sample |
| Mutation | Keep the modifier attached to every income comparison. | Mutation label, 2X Mutation state |
The best auction target combines strong $/s, a short payback time, repeatable results, and enough remaining cash for your next move.

Record income, winning bid, server, Luck, Rebirth, and active passes, then apply the same S-to-C decision rules to every card.
