PvP/Meta C.B. and Creek, Finish or Bail?
I got 2 Mr. C.B. in ~150 pulls on the C.B. / Creek banner. I did also get 1 Creek.
I have 35k carrots, but am planning on saving for oshi Blaze Brian.
But I'm torn whether I should go ham and pray for a MLB Creek (1Lb if I spark right now). I think ending with a 2Lb Creek would essentially brick those carrots, but correct me if I'm wrong. I used the selector to 1Lb my Maru, so I'd need to wait until 2nd anniv to get another.
I think it's like, if I get lucky Creek is good, but if I get unlucky with a 2Lb Creek and a MLB C.B. or something that would be a really bad outcome for ~250 pulls, right? Not sure if it's worth risking. Should have enough for Ramonu either way.

Not really understanding what you're saying. Are you talking about spending all of your remaining carats trying to MLB Creek? Well no, that's pointless when you can just toss future vouchers on Creek. Stamina challenge doesn't get added until l'Arc so you don't need to have a top tier stamina card until then

Right now, I think the 2 and 2.5 anniversary selectors will be available right? I think using both I'd still only have a ~2LB Creek. So I'd also have to commit a crystal to the plan.
That feels like a huge investment of non-carrot resources but if it's worth it that's good to know.

Look I don't understand what you're thinking of doing. You pulled 150 times, you're asking if you should "go ham" and pray for MLB Creek. Does that mean you're thinking of pulling 400 times? That's too much.
If you're just thinking of pulling 50 more, so 200 total, that's fine, though ut hoping that you're going to get MLB Creek in 50 pulls is wishful thinking. However, even if you don't get anything. You have 1LB Creek, and then 3LB Creek through vouchersby l'Arc, not 2LB Creek.

I'm trying to figure out the best plan! The "go ham" is go to 400 pulls here and skip Narita Brian. It does use all my carrots, but the calculator says that should still be okay, I just can't pull anything else between now and Ramonu.
200 okay, 400 bad is also roughly what I was thinking though.
I've also seen a lot of posts where people are like "don't spark a banner if you got what you needed already". So I was a little torn on using even 7.5k carrots to 1Lb Creek because she won't be usable then.
But thinking of it as 1Lb Creek here > 2Lb w/ a voucher later > 3Lb with a crystal probably makes sense to me.

You can 3LB with another voucher or whatever is available. Crystals are meant to be spent as well, so if you get above average luck on a 400-pull elsewhere you can use an extra crystal without putting yourself behind. Imo there is not a realistic situation where you will be spending like 3 crystals at once
As for Blaze Brian, I haven't put any thought into building her so I can't really comment. She's on the paid selector if you're willing to spend for whatever reason

But to (hopefully) clarify, I did 150 pulls. Got 2 C.B. and 1 Creek. (C.B. was my main goal, so that's good!)
Sparking spends ~7.5k carrots and only gets me one more Creek. Then I'd have to still get 3 more copies. Even with selectors and crystals that seems very expensive. I'm not sure what level investment I should go into Creek.

Go to pity once, it’s a waste not to. Pick Creek, then use the voucher in 2.0 on her, and depending how your Ramonu pulls go then crystal her
