Final Rage Airdrop Numbers and Some Gameplay
Final Rage Airdrop Numbers and Some Gameplay
Yesterday evening CST, the first Airdrop for Rebellion edition conflict had ended. The process of airdrop is now automated. One conflict finished and another one immediately started rather seamlessly. Kudos to the Splinterlands team for the successful implementation!
Below is the Rage Airdrop Leaderboard. I finished at number 3, with about 1.4 Billion total contribution. That gaves me 14,515 total chances. As decided by the team earlier, 200 chances guarantees an airdrop card. So 14515/200 = 72.57. Rouding up gives me 73 and I got 74 total card. I am happy with the outcome. I think cryptomancer, who designed the conflict airdrop, mentioned earlier that most large conflict contrubutors will get fairly average outcomes, and I think that is evident clearly. Again thank you for that. I am personally quite happy with the outcome.
I am glad that the next comflict started immediately. There was nothing I had to do, other that combining the received Rage cards, and put them into two new wagons.
I am all set for the next conflict, the details of which are described in the official post below:

I continue to be in the 3rd position for the Kei Airdrop leaderboard. I did sell one card for fun. 1 BCX Rage regular card for $19. Prices of Rage regular single BCX is going for $18.45 while single BCX Gold Foils are currently selling for $185.
Gameplay
I am learning to use to the card, and meta will be evolving for the next few weeks/months. I tried to play Rage in any opportunities I got. It is best obviously in very high mana battles: Like this one
Here the concept is just pack as many high mana cards as you can, and power through the opponent line. However it gets tricky to put it even in a mid mana battle.
Here the above battle is not so easy. At 32 mana it is not easy to put a 16 mana card and come out winning the other side, lucky! Yes, I was lucky. Void Dargon is classic up front due to its speed and almost everything misses it. I was lucky to hit it a couple of time, otherwise I was toast!
Nice job! That is pretty impressive! I ended up with a total of 32 chances and I was awarded zero cards. What a drag!
yeah. I think below 200, not many people got any cards.
Nice haul, gratzz!
I'm very happy with my result, I had a guarantee of 2, but received 3, which is perfect as it gets me a level 2 Rage.
I'll be trying to up my chances for the next drop to see if I can hit a guarantee of 3. So, I see some rebellion card buying in my near future.
What makes this result all the more pleasing is the ranked battle rework at the end of the month, it means I can once again play my cards at the level I have paid to bring them up to. I'm currently not playing in Modern at all ( letting XBot play wild) as it was too soul destroying being stuck in Bronze/Silver 3 for three seasons, I just couldn't fight my way out.
There is light at the end of the tunnel, and my level 2 Rage may get some play, can't wait !!
buying a few cards or packs as you see fit will get you there soon enough. RB prices are very stable at the moment, which gives you good oppotunity to increase your stake
Yes, my RB deck has more gaps than deck ..lol! , time to get filling
I would have loved to partake. However, it is not letting me login with my hive account details

Nice, you got exactly 4 GF? Very good! I'm still missing 2 GF, but I received 7 over the minimum on a base of 26 chances!
Yes. GF needs are covered. 7 over the min is very lucky!
Definintely feeling lucky! I opened 2 GF out of 37 total chances with the voucher upgrade, so I also did well with my GF spins. No rage here, very happy camper!
I got exactly what was expected 22, with no gold.
You need to start expecting more than the minimum so that way you can use the law of attraction for the GFL you want! I've heard this even works on the blockchain 🤣
well well, considering your historical bad luck, I say that is an acceptable outcome:)
Congrats on the haul. You were even able to get a max GF copy. I thought the top players would get more, but I guess having the cards spread out is also good. I saw that you got more than the second, and the 6th got more than the 4th and 5th. So there's definitely still some luck involved. Good luck on the next airdrop.
Yes only a very tiny bit of luck I guess in terms of total. But yes Gold Foil is all luck. I could have gotten zero. It past airdrops that had happened to me multiple times.
Mind you for some unknown reason I have spend $40k US cash for the RB packs. So compared to that everything is diminishing returns:) Not saying I regret it; bit yet anyways
Wow, I hope I can spend 40k USD unknowingly as well :D. But seriously, I've seen your posts in Mav chat and I am a bit familiar with how supportive you are of the game. I hope it works out for us in this upcoming bull market.
I remember that I was going to ask you this after the first conflict. Between the previous airdrop method and now, which one was better for you?
Appreciate the kind words.
The new airdrop method is far better. It gives people incentive to hold. In the past people have bought thousands of packs, just to flip them in the secondary market, just to claim the airdrops. As airdrops were fixed based on the packs purchased. This dropped the pack value and the value of the cards as there is constant selling pressure and no incentive to hold in the past. I am glad Matt plugged this exploit now with the conflict.
Yeah, I agree with what you've said. I also read about the different groups buying the packs and just selling everything to maximize profit. I have seen some people sold what they got, but I also saw a lot more add wagons to put their new Rage cards in and get more airdrop points.
Rage and Chaos Dragon with Lily shield Paw in high mana rulesets is just wow hehe. I find rage works well with death units if available. Congrats in getting all the rage copies (You definitely deserve it if not more), I also managed to get a few for myself, I even gave one to mernmin who was 1 short of max, sharing blessings. I am looking forward to the next one, I want to try out that new ability so I am gradually maxing out my set, we will need it for the new ranking system. Chat soon!
