Staked SPS
Intended to be competitive - Please Push & Shove!

Vouchers will be fractional and can be traded
How much SPS to get 1 voucher?
Based on how much SPS you staked vs everyone else
You can't open the Chaos Legion pre-sale packs until released in the game
Aggroed is still pushing for packs to cost $2, but not final
Pre-sale will have extra benefits like exclusive promo cards but no discount
May stick with the bonus packs when buying 100+, or 500+
May push up the Maverick status to 1000 purchases packs in game
May accept SPS for buying Chaos Legion card packs
Chaos Legion cards will probably have less DEC burn value than Untamed
DEC:
As more people are joining, everyone is fighting over the DEC reward pool
May make the DEC rewards lesser than previous seasons
Talking to more exchanges 👀
SPS:
More SPS utility in game is coming!
BSC was chosen to publish the SPS token over Hive because of the bigger audience and market
SPS will be added potentially to buy spellbooks and other assets in game
Will be releasing new earnings in the Ranked battle system
Quest Potions:
Still determining the best strategy to handle quest potions
Purposely leaving it expensive it right now as the team believe it is broken
May remove it completely, or may add it back
Reward Cards:
Reward cards will be released in 1-2 weeks!
Will have a bigger print run
Should make reward chests include more rewards
Modern/Wild System:
Currently being worked on right now by Cryptomancer
Chaos Legion will be included in both
This will make Chaos Legion cards highly sought out and valuable to play with
Will have separate rank ladders for each system
Yield Guild Games (YGG):
Have started to run internal tournaments for all YGG guild members
Have a lot of players looking for guilds
If you are looking to run a guild, join the YGG discord and reach out!
🔥 EYE CANDY 🔥
