RE: $125 More Invested Into Splinterlands Credits To Boost Gameplay - Card Buying Input Welcome

Hey dude!

A couple of weeks after the Chaos Legion comes out, there will be two ladders to battle in; Modern and Wild. Modern will be Untamed, Dice and Chaos Legion cards, Wild will be everything, including Beta and Alpha. I don't know what's happening with the starter pack... there might be one for wild and one for modern... or there might just be one for modern, in which case you would lose your access to Alric. Given that the Land expansion will provide better bonuses to Alpha and Beta cards, I think (given the information we have currently) that Alric should be a long term hold.

I don't have Mylor (I'm hoping prices drop during the CL release or the next bear market) but I'd argue that he's the best low mana summoner in the game. So good choice!

I know the vouchers seem like a total bummer... but personally I think it helps give new(ish) players a chance. Seeing as there is substantial demand, there is every possibility that whales could buy up all the packs in the first couple of minutes, and then sell them for double, triple, etc on external sites. We see it with shoes and concert tickets all the time. While the vouchers might not help you specifically, I think they are a good move for all the non-whales hoping to pick up some packs.

For your remaining $75, what about the Kelp Initiate? I use it so much playing water. It's such a huge card for me.

Great input. I know you're a SPL Ninja. I just wish you forced me to get involved years ago. I grabbed the Kelp Initiate since that's a good 2 mana spot with high speed, a big upgrade to the spellbook options for a buffer spot. I also grabbed TORHILO THE FROZEN for $33.99.

I'm debating getting a plot or two of land to get my airdrop and voucher points up without buying the inflationary SPS token. Do you have any opinion on the land front? Seems like it's high now, but I don't know the SPL economy over the years to know if it's actually going to keep going up with the 100K supply - and new interest coming in from the new Chaos release.

Hahaha, I wish I had forced myself to get way more involved. I bought my 7 land plots for $14 each... why on earth didn't I buy more?

They've said over and over again that they aren't releasing any new land... and I have to imagine that once the Land expansion is announced that land would shoot up in cost. Land will be necessary to actually mint your own items and potions which you can sell or use in games. You'll also need cards to "work" the land, the more valuable the card the better they'll work that land plot.

So, honestly, my opinion is that land will keep going up, with a sharp spike around a land expansion announcement.

While they've said they're never release any more land, they did say that further expansions could be possible if the community votes for it using the SPS governance token... (but it would be way down the development roadmap). Either way, getting a higher airdrop value for the next 265 days seems like the smart move, however you want to do that.
