Get the Best out of Your Cards by Merging (Leveling Up) - Stakehouse Den

In the world of Stakehouse Den’s Lady Luck Packs, the power doesn't just lie in collecting NFTs—it’s in how you evolve them. The Cards Level Up – Merging system lets players build stronger cards by merging duplicates of the same NFT, unlocking enhanced potential and efficiency. This mechanic isn't just clever; it’s central to strategic progression.
How Merging Works
Every card you own—including its rarity (Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary) and foil type (Regular or Gold)—can be merged to reach higher levels. Each level requires a specific number of duplicates to “merge count up.” These requirements vary sharply depending on rarity and foil.
For example, to reach Level 2:
Regular foil Commons need 10 copies.
Rares require 5, Epics need 4, and Legendaries require 3.
In contrast, Gold foil cards demand fewer duplicates; Common cards need just 5, Rares 3, and Legendary just 1 for Level 2.

As you climb through higher levels, these counts grow—with Regular foil Legendaries needing up to 90 duplicates to hit the top tier. Gold foil, however, remains far more accessible, capping out at lower thresholds.
Why This Matters
Merging delivers multiple benefits. It slashes the number of staking slots you need, stretches your investment further, and amplifies your Hot Sauce yield—Stakehouse Den’s resource tied to card-level and rarity. A higher-level card generates exponentially more daily Hot Sauce, giving savvy players a strong economic edge
