I also thought about these cases before purchasing anything.
And just remembering how few gold cards i got in regular cases(which have very similar odds of dropping), i won’t go for these CW cases because 250c saved on every case is just wayyy better !
I’ll use the upcoming 30 days to spend ALL my money on cases and when the price of the cases goes back to 1k, i can trade up my sea of irons and leads 
keep in mind i don’t need to unlock mercs and play quite a bit these days so the credits keep comin and I still don’t have a single nice cobalt card.
Also even if you get one of the CW loadouts, it could still be a shitty loadout for a merc you hardly ever play so the card will only trash your inventory instead of being able to trade it up.
But I’m happy for SD, I’m sure there’ll be a ton of money spent on these super special loadouts by the people that have pages of cobalt cards anyways
