    • First phase consists of 2 million CL packs that requires vouchers
    • Vouchers will be airdropped at 2x the rate
    • The second phase (general sale) should be immediately after first phase ends

Don't know what the future use-cases will be, but if it is anything like being able to enter in the CL pre-sale, you know they are going to be quite valuable!

Great update, it is good to know that those that do not participate in the pre-sale will not qualify for the Dr. Blight air drop.

I have only been playing Splinterlands for a couple of weeks but it is addictive, so I subscribed to not miss any future posts.

Thanks for the update guys!! :-)

You don't have to, its a choice. You can play in Novice or Bronze for relatively cheap. One could also post about the game here on the Hive Network on frontends such as Splintertalk.io and earn crypto for our content. That crypto can then be used to purchase in game NFT's that are used for game play. There's lots of ways to build a fun to play deck without spending much.

I learned something...

First...Why I lost so badly when I battled a guy named Aggroed in a guild battle :)

Knowing vouchers are here to stay for goodies in the future makes me smile. Perhaps its like land.. didn't know its value initially and still not working...but sounds like it will be awesome in the future.

I do like the idea that there is an anti-scalper mechanism in place. Maybe the vouchers get cheaper after Chaos release so those dedicated long time players get something to hold for priority in the future :)

Also partnerships -- exciting! More players, more fun, more money :) Unfortunately, more competition to get limited cards..guess that's both good and bad.
