Maximise Guild brawl participation by renting gold foils

Greetings from The Legendary Canary!

With guild brawls recently introduced, one thing that has a lot of players talking is how heavily weighted the brawls are towards gold-foil-only frays (5 out of 13 in my guild brawl, I think the numbers are the same across all brawls at the moment). The heavy weighting even caught me off guard! Although I had anticipated that brawls would be set up to give more utility to GF cards, 5 out of 13 was certainly more than what I had expected.

As a player on my own separate guild account with decidedly few Untamed cards and no GFs to speak of, it was a bit frustrating to have so few options to choose from to compete in. So I can understand a lot of the frustration that has been aired over the past few days.

But as a lender whose assets are made up mostly of GF cards, I feel that my deliberate focus on collecting cheap GFs is paying off. I had always anticipated that GFs would be given more utility as time went on, as this had always been the developers intention. I just did not think it would be quite as aggressive so early on.

I think that a lot of the angst is due to the tendency for heavily invested players (i.e., people actively battling in ranked and tournament modes) to have built their decks around maximising efficiency in the previous meta. This meant almost every serious player focused purely on regular foils while selling off their GFs to help build out their decks. The change in meta will compel a lot of people to adapt accordingly, or complain very loudly, or both.

As it stands, a bunch of players are now topping up their decks with low-level GFs in order to be competitive in GF frays. I know this because I can see in the last few days the sudden outflow of low-level cards to renters whose names I don't recognise. It is great to see some new faces! So while I wish the change weren't so abrupt, I have to admit ... guild brawls have been rather good for business.

For me, it is a reminder that as a collector and lender, I need to do my best to stay on top of the news and anticipate what opportunities may lie ahead. Whether being a collector, a lender or a player, optimising for the current meta is absolutely necessary - but so is the readiness to adapt to change. The alternative is to do nothing, or even worse, to complain while doing nothing. It is in my opinion more productive to just move along with what's been given to you and anticipate things based on what you've been told.

In speaking of the current collector/lender 'meta' - the current market FOMO with everything Alpha and certain Beta legendaries is definitely tempting to jump into, but the big winners were those who backed the project from the very beginning. I only joined halfway through Beta so my exposure to Alpha is minimal and I did not get the chance to build the Beta positions I had hoped for. That is OK! With Chaos Legion and the land expansion on the horizon in Q4 2021, my focus is on thinking through what might be the good opportunities that will arise with those two big ticket items in mind. It is a lot of fun!

I still believe renting is a grossly underutilized aspect of the game. My own yields have tanked recently due to the surge in prices but I'm not complaining. It certainly gives some food for thought about the dynamics for the rental prices of out-of-print editions in the medium to long term. And it depends very much on the particulars of the land expansion. If lands do not require heavy use of monster/summoner cards, we may well see permanently depressed yields for old edition cards. The inverse would be true if lands require heavy use of cards. Knowing how the devs have approached these kinds of questions in the past, I think you can guess which way I'm betting on this topic.


Today's Featured Card

Would you be interested in a ...

Card ID: G1-112-ZNM1J1SD1C
Escrow: $1.12
Daily Fee: $0.08
Min/Max Duration: 1/180 Days

I didn't get a chance to build my Beta positions properly. But at least I scored my regular foil and gold foil Prince Rennyn positions before prices went crazy!! Rennyn is in my opinion, the best of the Beta legendary summoners (though an argument could also be made for Valnamor as well).

It is still on cooldown at the time of writing, so be aware of that. But it's also the only one available on the market at the moment as well!


A big THANK YOU to my supporters!

Whether you are a human or a bot, as always I appreciate your support!!
