There's at least a second bonus slot available for 250 gems. As a fairly new player, I figured that first slot might be worth the gems. Increasing the rate at which I build up commons and rares is very important for speeding up how fast I can catch up. Tournament days are important not only for the prizes, but also because I'm following the advice of TheRealTRAK and others and religiously refusing needlessly burn mojo on off days. Also, based on how often I can log in and clear chests, and using a model based on very conservative estimates for Legendary and Epic chests, I think the extra churn is probably good for at the minimum an extra Epic+ a week.

I figure if I keep playing the game, it'll probably be worth the sacrifice of 1.5 gem chests. Not sure about energy though--in my experience, buying extra turns in a game like this is almost never one of the best options in terms of advancement (YMMY as to whether its the best option fon having fun.) So it never occurred to me to even think about putting it head to head against a chest. How do you use 120 energy to get better results than a golden chest?
