NationStates

Is there any viable way to transfer bank between nations? The most obvious way I've found so far is Nation A "gifting" a card of a certain value to Nation B, but this does not seem too effective.

To transfer bank, you need to buy or sell a card. There is no other way.

I find commons with owners who aren't active in the game so they won't get sniped and sell them for the whole bank.

Ah okay, thanks for the help. o/

Plus you can find common ex nations with only one owner. These are hard to find though. I've only got two or three.

Deck pulls are slightly biased towards 'useful' cards. I have single owner ex-nation cards get pulled during transfers multiple times. So there's still risk with those.

Can confirm the above, just pulled an ex-nation card which someone was just in the middle of using for a bank transfer.

Had the same happen to me as well - such is life.

The simple way I do it when I have to between some nations, is you take a common, dump all the bank into one common card with no bids on it. Then take it all.

You're right, it's not that effective. I still do it though because I don't want to deal with getting sniped. I only gift ultra rare, epic, and legendary cards from my puppets.

This one's probably the best for you, since you still have gift slots:

Assuming you have puppets, junk EVERY single non-legendary card (unless it's a highly-profitable card like Farrakhan; if you pull something valuable, gift to your main and sell it like a normal person would) that each puppet has to make a sizeable number of bank.

After that, you must transfer it by having your main account obtain a stupidly high number of copies of the same card and have said account sell them all to the puppets that have the bank gathered (from junking its cards):

Here's an example: https://i.ibb.co/FqfkQs6/Fire-Shot-Capt ... es-net.png

I'd advise to only bid 1-2 bank per puppet, since if someone pulls and underasks then you'd only lose that much (plus it allows you to buy an extra copy to use in subsequent transfers for relatively cheap).

Once your puppets buy all your copies of that card, you can then just gift them back to your main and repeat the process.

I've used this strategy for a bit, and it's successfully gotten me around 50-bank transfers (at a time) in broad daylight
