My FIRST Chaos Legion GFL Just Dropped!

Everybody wants GFLs, right? If for nothing else for their market value and ongoing rental price potential.

Personally, I'd rather have the entire Chaos Legion regular set (or most of it) fully upgraded, than to receive a few GFLs. I don't mind both, though! :)

After opening a little over half of the 1376 CL packs I had (including gifts), my GFL "harvest" doesn't seem so impressive: 2 of them, both fiends. And 4 epic gold foils.

Today, despite odds, I received a GFL in the airdrop on the account where I had purchased fewer packs (yeah, I know, spllitting them was a strategic mistake, affiliate bonuses are hardly a match for the likely boost in airdrops).

The Spirit Hoarder GFL goes by 139 USD on the market at the time of writing this, which isn't so bad for a new card that hasn't showed its potential in combat. Of course, for GFLs the collectibility alone and the contribution to collection power make a lot of difference.

On the rental market the price is a little over 39 DEC per day, and going up probably, since it's the EOS.

This week I bought more packs, probably the last ones for CL in my case, as I do need to prioritize other things as well, and still have lots of packs to open. That brought me the status of Maverick, which considering I was involved with the game since 2018, it's surprising that I didn't seek earlier. At the same time, on the other account I just pushed to have over 500 packs bought (570 to be exact). As it happens, airdrop announcement from Splinterlands moved the minimum for a guaranteed drop to 500, so it seems that was a perfect timing.

Congratulations on GFL Hoarder! I didn't get any card from the airdrop, but I didn't go heavy with pack purchases either... :)
And I agree with you regarding having max regular set, compared to a few GF cards :)

Thanks man! Yeah, the limits for guaranteed airdropped cards increased too. So it's getting harder to have a guaranteed airdrop, but you can get lucky as I did with the GFL. I actually won 1 GFL and 1 regular on the account where 570 packs count for the airdrop and 2 regulars on the account where I have over 800. So, it's a matter of chance as well.

Congrats! I got one normal foil but I bought most of my packs on HE and therefore I had only 575 packs in for the airdrop. I'm waiting for the Legendary summoners to come out :-)

Thanks! I'm looking forward to Legendary summoners too. I wonder how they'll be this time? More mana costly and more powerful or costing less mana and less powerful?
