RE: Whose Bought all the Rusties? Rusty Android just did an 8* overnight!

This is a super important test case for what we will see much more from now on, in my opinion. The land expansion will make the hyper deflation of Splinterlands go in berserk mode. Here is why, based on the already very detailed information we have (I wrote this and this post about it):

Each land plot will require a building to harvest, refine and store all the natural and magical resources as well as the monster essences. And then finally for the actual crafting building for spells and items. Each building will only work on max stats with the fitting Splinter worker for that specific Terrain Type. Neutrals have not been confirmed, I believe, but make sense looking at the 14 different types (2x7). Everyone who is interested in the best ROI for their land will try to get the cheapest cards available to do the job as good as possible.

Rusty Android is from the oldest Edition featuring Neutrals, which was the Reward Beta (next to the Beta Neutrals) edition. Because he was so useless before, he had the cheapest price and was always kind of a like a joke card, you called it THE DUFF. So he will serve a very specific niche worker relatively well, which is was as a cheap Neutral worker from the oldest possible edition, only best with max level (505 BCX). Other cards like the Goblin Mech or Highland Archer will serve the same niche but had higher prices so far (apparently not anymore).

He will not be the ultimate high-end card, although his gold foil counterpart is already very close to that. Rare, Epic and Legendary cards from the Beta and Reward Beta editions will do even better than Rusty, so Hydras, Lord As and Spirit Miner will be the best-in-slot. But since supply is limited and people are buying hundreds, if not thousands of plots, they will be in huge need of an army of Rusty Androids and co. And each at the highest possible level because who wants to run an expansive land plot with a level 1 card?

Now see the bigger picture: I alone will need to buy thousands of cards from the market to fill my Tract as well as possible with high level cards. And I am already a whale with multiple playing accounts. This means that ALL cards will see a massive run, the cheaper and older and higher and golder (lol) the better.

I am still in shock myself but this will change everything!

And to answer your post question: I have been one of the buyers of the Rustys (two max regular foils (for $8 each) and 33 single BCX gold foils (for $0.70 each). Others have followed suit and finished off most of the remaining single BCX cards until the supply was mostly gone.

One more advise: I think it makes ZERO sense to buy Rustys at this current price, as long as the other cards in the same category are still cheaper.

P.S. I should make a post out of this comment... lol
