Should you buy Chaos Legion cards now?
Important Chaos Legion considerations
Chaos Legion is the current expansion of the Splinterlands crypto game, but the next expansion is coming soon. As a holder, a player and a collector, you might wonder if it's worth buying CL cards at all. They're at the lowest market prices they've ever been, so should you bother? After all, in case it's valuable, this might be the golden opportunity you don't want to miss.
First, one must take in consideration the game's history when deciding if something is worth purchasing. Splinterlands isn't new, so it's possible to look back at previous years. We can compare the current market and gameplay scenario to the days of old while we ask these questions:
- Did older expansions reach an all-time low around the same time as Chaos Legion?
What's happening to Chaos Legion is also what happened to Untamed and Beta before it. Players slowly, but successfully, acquired most of the cards they could afford to get within the year that expansion was rolling out. By September or October, there was a big supply, since cards were still being distributed, but demand had fallen.
There wasn't any big new influx of players like when a new expansion is launched, either. A mini-set like the current Riftwatchers kept players hyped for it, but interest for the main set faded away for a while. Just like what's happening right now, so it's a very reasonable comparison.
- Did older expansions perform well after their all-time lows for that year?
Cards have always had much lower prices while still being distributed when compared to after distribution is completed, except for when they've just been released, since competitive players want to take advantage of the newest strategies available as soon as possible in major cash tournaments.
A card's scarcity increases with age. The older Goblin Mech card used to sell for less than 1 cent each, but its price is 76 cents at the time this article is being written, because it's rarer and because there are more strategies available making it easier to use over time. Cards age well in Splinterlands.
- Will cards carry value into the future like before?
In the short-term (~4 months), prices have picked up nearing the end of the year, as distribution is nearly completed. Everyone wants a bite of the turnover caused by FOMO.
In the long-term (~12 months), Chaos Legion cards remain important during next year's expansion. Modern ranked and tournament format only allows the current and previous expansion, so Untamed fades away. You've seen how expensive Untamed cards are today, despite costing as much as Chaos Legion does now. It's clear CL prices will rise very quickly.
Conclusion
If Untamed and Beta's historical examples follow through, this is the best possible time to pick up Chaos Legion cards. The end of the year looms closer, when everybody begins to worry about FOMO. The longer you wait, the higher the price you'll have to pay.

Great read! Completely agree with your comparison with the things that happened in the past with old(er) editions... At these moments, it could be a perfect time to max out some of my CL cards as lower than this could happen... But, not too much lower... After that, the only way is up...
I have picked this post on behalf of the @OurPick project which will be highlighted in the next post!
besides, you don't want to spend money renting them next year, when they're that much more expensive to rent
I agree with your overall point. I been looking at purchasing some myself as I haven't collected any set in any serious manner since BETA. At the very least I'll dump a few hundred purchasing the penny common cards.
yes, the best part is how even the least useful commons very quickly rise in price
!1UP Excellent comparison, it has been almost a year since the release of chaos legions, and I am still in doubt about which card to buy.
imo you should buy any card as long as it's leveled for the highest league that fits your budget

Quanto mais jogadores e utilidades splinterlands tive mais valor as cartas irão ter. No caso de chaos legion existem "muitas" cartas já que são 15 milhões de pacotes, mas com o tempo e o crescimento de splinterlands em termos de jogadores essa quantia será baixa e então o valor das cartas irá disparar. No caso de quando os packs de chaos legion acabarem provavelmente terá um bom aumento, mas o aumento verdadeiro só vai vim quando o jogo crescer cada vez mais e adicionar outras utilidades como o tower defense só irá aumentar o valor delas já que as pessoas ficaram mais tentadas a usar as cartas como stake do que vender no mercado.

Very Nice! Congrats.
Dear @felipejoys,
May I ask you to review and support the Dev Marketing Proposal (https://peakd.com/me/proposals/232) we presented on Conference Day 1 at HiveFest?
The campaign aims to onboard new application developers to grow our ecosystem. If you missed the presentation, you can watch it on YouTube.
You cast your vote for the proposal on Peakd, Ecency, Hive.blog or using HiveSigner.
Thank you!
if you want my actual input... that proposal isn't good enough... what we need is more multi-blockchain apps that support hive. it doesn't have to be hosted on hive, although that's a plus. we also need account creation paid using both hive and other crypto via hive keychain so people can easily join
Thank you for your feedback.
DHF goal is to fund Hive related projects. So is the marketing proposal. However, that doesn't prevent developers to create multi-blockchain projects.
The idea of being able to pay for account creation with a different crypto than HIVE is a good one, but it must be implement at layer 2.
it can just be a part of hive keychain
