$54,240+ To Be #1 on Splinterlands Chaos Legion Leaderboard
The price of Splinterlands new VOUCHER tokens has been higher than almost anyone could have anticipated since their launch a week ago. In order to acquire VOUCHER tokens you must either receive them in an airdrop from your staked SPS or buy them on the Hive-Engine or Tribaldex marketplace. In order to acquire a pre-sale Chaos Legion pack, you must obtain a VOUCHER and pay $4 for the pack itself (or $3.60 if paying with SPS).
Chaos Legion Pre-Sale Leaderboard
The top two ranking accounts for acquiring pre-sale Chaos Legion packs currently hold 2,400 packs each. Some of the perks for holding 2,400 pre-sale packs include:
1. Design your own Legendary Summoner.
2. 2x The Legionnaire Title - equal to 200,000 SPS airdrop points.
3. Guaranteed to receive at least 46 Regular Foil and 2 Gold Foil Special Promo Cards.
Who Knew VOUCHERs Would Sell For So Much!?
Since nobody (that I know of at least) expected these VOUCHERs to sell for $19-20 on the market, let's take a look at what it costs to be #1 on the Chaos Legion leaderboard right now. Remember, we still have three weeks to go and I expect the top of the leaderboard to get even more competitive.
Even if someone has enough SPS staked to get airdropped a full 2,400 VOUCHER tokens, by retaining those tokens you have an opportunity cost of $19-20 each since that is what you could sell them for on Hive-Engine. So that is a cost and let's round down and assume $19 per VOUCHER. Plus, if you're smart, you'll use SPS to buy your pre-sale packs to get the 10% discount and thus pay $3.60 for each pack. $19 x 2400 = $45,600 and $3.60 x 2400 = $8,640. Add those up and you get $54,240 USD.
Is It Going to Be Worth It?
Is it worth over $54,000 to get the three benefits listed above? Only time will tell since we don't know what the stats of the special promo cards will be. And, can you even put a price tag on being able to design your own Legendary Summoner? That's pretty epic.
The only thing we can really put a price tag on is The Legionnaire title and based on the 100,000 SPS airdrop points that each title will provide, that benefit is worth a little under $3,000 each (provided the price of SPS and your share of the SPS reward pool stays constant, but I expect it to fall over time as more SPS is released into the market).
Any guesses on how many Chaos Legion packs it will take to be #1 on the leaderboard by the time the pre-sale is concluded? I'm guessing 5,000+.
Dam Shauner, friggin beast lol

Oh haha well I was planning to be on that list, but that’s when I expected voucher prices to be about $5 each lol. I’m not down with the $20 per voucher level. The fact that the price has stayed steady makes me think it won’t ever get down to my comfort level for purchases. Oh well, I’m making $30/day just selling my airdropped vouchers instead.

No, it is not worth it in my opinion. This is still a game and people - normal people - just want to play it and gain a little money from it during this period. For normies, this is all too much and will repell them over time. Two of my friends, who liked the gameplay and bought spellbooks after I told them about Splinterlands didn't play much after the first nerf. They don't understand the mechanics behind it and they shouldn' have to understand them.
I am curious how the anti-bot changes are going to impact the number of new long-term players the game is able to attract. It sounds like the devs only want people to join who are going to spend $1000 buying cards right away and I think that is a very small population. They need to find a way to attract and keep casual users who will eventually put more money into the ecosystem... but those people may not stick around long enough to get hooked if their rewards are nerfed in the beginning. !PIZZA
At this point it really is an investing game more than a game, you play for fun and that is a pity, because I really love the idea and the gameplay. But it is, what it is. We have to adapt and "not be salty" to cite one of the founders, I guess. I'll continue to play and invest heavily over time, because this is an addictive game, but I do that conscious of the fact, I will be in the minority of new-ish players and in the bear market many new players will hop off this train as well. We are in the bull-bubble, that is what people forget.
I couldn't agree with you more! I've been dumping money into cards with a very high rental ROI and plan to keep doing that for a while. With the spike in rental prices around the end of seasons, I'm getting over 15% monthly returns.
