Splinterlands Winterfest promotion. What promo will it be?

avatar

Splinterlands has a Winterfest promotion for the next six days.

If you buy a pack, you are guaranteed a common promo card. There's a 2% chance of a gold foil and if you buy 50 packs, then there's a guarantee of at least one gold foil.

I am currently in a 52 week challenge to open a Chaos pack each week, and due to the declining value of cards, it is starting to go south for me. Here's my most recent pack results https://www.splintertalk.io/@methodofmad/word-of-the-day-doldrums-week-25-of-the-52-pack-opening-challenge-another-unprofitable-week.

That said, I want to at least see what the promo card is like. Fortunately, (and unfortunately) DEC is on the decline this week. Tribaldex shows it as $0.00056 image.png
That's a pretty long ways from the peg of $0.001. Which means that purchasing Chaos packs with DEC is a great discount. Chaos packs can be purchased with 4,000 DEC from Splinterlands. If DEC is down, then the dollar cost to purchase a pack is also reduced. 4,000 DEC equals $2.24. That's much better than paying $4.00 in credits for a pack.

I am not adding any new money (Fiat) into Splinterlands at this point. My original investment is worth about 40% of what I initially added into Splinterlands.
So, instead I saved my rental income from cards to buy today's pack.
Here's the result of my pack purchase from Winterfest.

The 12 mana card is Arkemis The Bear. I received the common version and it is worth $0.16.

As for the rest of the pack.....
I need to wait until I have more potions to open the pack. But if past results are any indication, then I should keep my expectations low at less than $2.00 of value.
I took a risk on the promo card, because promos some times increase in value. That may not be the case with this promo since the total card count is 385,264 with 3,698 of those available, according to Peakmonsters.com

DEC value is decreasing because we are going through the one of the worst bear cycle, price of everything is down almost 90% from it's all time high. New year seems to be good for bitcoin and hopefully it will also be good for others coins as well.

At least I got one good BEAR out of the DEC decline. Go Arkemis!

I joined the CLP pool, I bought eight of them and ended up with 14 packs and promo cards, so it wasn't too bad. I have a level 3 bear now, it's a good card but hard to use with the high mana. The price of the promo card shouldn't ever be too high with so many copies available sadly.

I think the goal of Splinterlands was to inject some cash into the company and burn some DEC and SPS to try to slow inflation. DEC burns with Chaos purchases and SPS burns with Riftwatchers. Those that use credits are supplying cash for Splinterlands operating costs. It was a business move. I respect it, but they could have limited the promo numbers more, or increased the gold foil chance more.

In my opinion, life is the name of sustenance, if we do not take envy in our life, then we will never be successful. The prices of everything are coming down because of the bear market. The only solution we have at this time to hold on to our coins and cards as their prices will go up in the coming days.
