Should we hoard Expedition Tokens?
I'm not the biggest expedition player--I think the format is fine, but personally I only want to play when I can do both trials in one long uninterrupted session so I often end up just playing normal constructed games for daily XP--and lately I've been procrastinating so much that my stock of tokens from the weekly vaults has been starting to accumulate. I was going to try to play catch-up this weekend, but then I thought: what if it would be more advantageous to wait until the release?
The expansion is coming out April 30th, and they've said it will include 120+ new cards. Currently, there are 318 unique collectible cards (6 regions, 53 per). Now granted, they have not identified how exactly rewards will differ after the expansion releases, but even if they just intermix the new cards with the current cards that still implies you'll have a ~25% chance of each card being new. Plus there's the whole season road: if you can apply your XP progression towards that, then doing the full 3 expeditions/week means that you should get a quick burst of progression.
What do you guys think?

you should wait is just a week after all and the exp will be more useful in the new region rewards and on the possible season road .
Duplicated cards gives way less shards so yeah, wait

Keep in mind we will likely not have access to Season Road from the moment of expansion release. If I had to guess we will need to level Bildgewater and Mount Targon to 20 before we will access the expansion. Which is nice because that will give us a boost for the new cards.
If i'm not mistaken, we are only getting ONE new region in the next 120+ set of cards, with the second new region coming later this year, and if the Season Road is tied to ranked mode (which is 2 months long) then i think we should "normally" get the season road exp going on right after next week official release.
The official announcement strongly implied but didn't explicitly state that we would get just 1 new region:
If I had to guess, I'd say one new region (Bilgewater?) with ~60 new cards and 4-5 champions, and then each of the existing 6 regions gets 10 new cards including 1 new champ (63 cards / 5 champs total).
I believe each it will be each expansion = one "season" = ranked mode period = 16 weeks.
