Introduction
The Dragonbound & Dragon Caller (DBDC) Rare Egg Machine returns to North America on Monday, August 26 and comes with small buffs all around but introduces three new cards (plus a new evolution). This may feel a little frustrating as most of the older/lower rarity cards received no additional love which may lower their overall usability. With that being said, the Dragonbound & Dragon Caller event is still a high value event for players who have never/barely rolled.
This is because the 5-star (lowest rarity) is home to some wonderfully powerful cards that may be challenging to replicate elsewhere. They may not be as unique/powerful compared to their initial debut, but they are still worth pursuing for most players and help make nearly every roll have some value. Generally speaking, the DBDC cards are highly specialized and are able to fulfill their respective role wonderfully well. While this means one may not be using them all the time, they are sometimes vital to own for specific content/mechanics as it is hard to replace them otherwise.
With being said, it makes it challenging to justify rolling in this event provided you have most of the bottom rarity cards. This is because this event has come around several times and with each repeat (assuming one did roll before), the chances of getting something new diminish. For example, I rolled heavily during the first event and was blessed with an outrageous amounts of Shazels 
but also picked up all of the 5-star cards. As such, the motivation to roll in subsequent events has drastically gone down as duplicates beyond the second tend to be wasteful.
For the most part, I would encourage all players to roll in this event assuming they do not own many/most of the bottom rarity cards as they are unique and can help one progress through new content. On the other hand, for players who have rolled in the past 4 events, the chances of rolling something new are quite low, and this event may be better skipping as a whole.
This article will summarize each card’s strengths and weaknesses to give you a better understanding of what is in store within this event.
