Release the Rebel

avatar

Very soon, the general sale of the Rebellion set will go live on Splinterlands, which will also mark the end of the Untamed sets being playable in the Modern format. Or soon anyway - I am not actually sure if it is an immediate effect or, it will be applied for next season. Whatever it is, soon, the most expensive cards I have bought such as Llama and Kitty, will be largely useless to me.

Score!

However, it is also going to be interesting to see what happens in ranked play and for Brawls and Tournaments, because with the release of Land, there is a lot of disruption to what sets people have, as they stake cards to their plots. Obviously, a lot of the older cards are getting pushed there, which creates a new dynamic for tournaments. Perhaps this is why I was able to get some wins in the Wild Tournament the other day, with my highest ever finish.

With the upward mobility of price, 1210 SPS is currently sitting at a value of $38 dollars. Though, I don't expect I will get that lucky again for a while. I do normally get my entry fee back at least though.

All of these changes throw a whole lot of spanners (monkey wrenches) into the Splinterlands works at the same time and as such, it is going to be pretty hard to find a good approach for all of it. As a result, there is going to be a lot of opportunity for people to take advantage and, make some losses of some kind too. FOMO tends to make lots of decisions for people, and I am no exception.

I will be able to start opening the 2306 Rebellion packs I bought, which sounds like a lot, but it is still something like 1000 packs short of a potential full set. So, it is going to be a bit of a challenge over the next year of playing to compete in top leagues with unmaxed monsters. hopefully though, they will be overpowered enough that they will be able to compete with some of the older cards in the Wild format, as at least currently, that is where I am brawling. I think the couple Alphas and the few Betas I have though, are all on Land. I don't have many Untamed either, except Dice - but they are being retired into oblivion too.

Because Land was released recently too, there is a lot less excitement around Rebellion opening, and far less than when it was the release of Chaos Legion. Hopefully that is a good sign. Because while Chaos Legion was hyped, it was a letdown overall, especially since it was immediately followed by a prolonged market drop. We might be on the frontside of the market this time though, as BTC just went to 44K for the first time in 18 months.

A lot of these releases are made or broken on the back of the markets, where depending in timing, it can be a roaring success and sells through fast or, has to be given away and burned. Hopefully, people will be buying while the market climbs, and hopefully, the team is a little more judicious with where they invest themselves.

For now though, we are in maintenance mode, so the release should be happening soon and people will start opening. I may have the worst open luck of the game, but I wish everyone the best of luck for themselves and may the Gods of Gold Foil Legendaries shine upon you.

I have 40 packs so getting 1 Gold Foil Legendary would be awesome. Any more would make me insanely happy. Good luck to you as well!

I opened in the "test server" and got half as many as expected - I have heard that normally people do better in the test server. :D

I sold my Untamed unopened packs way to late but still with a profit, I hope !LOLZ

I don't like this phasing out concept. I understand it but don't like it.

Good luck!

Yeah, I understand it too - but with the current costs and then returns, it makes no sense as they aren't able to earn for long enough to come close to paying them off - especially if buying them late.

I was only able to buy like ten packs in the presale, so I don't expect I will be able to do much of anything. I've noticed that my rentals have went up since land released. I am guessing more cards aren't available because they are locked up in land.

What did you end up getting?

Out of 2300, I got zero GFLs....

I ended up having 25 packs. I got one legendary and three gold foils. That's some bad luck on your part. I'm sorry to hear that.

For some reason, I have never played Splinterlands. I think it has something to do with avoiding confrontation and loss, as the game involves fights.

I prefer games where there is less fighting. But, I am going to play HOLOZING where there are PvP events.
I think I am also going to play Rise of the Pixels.

I have noticed that two people are members of both teams (@holozing and @riseofthepixels) : @asgarth and @jfuji.

I used to play a lot of first person shooters, but I haven't really gamed much at all for well over a decade, other than Words for Friends and in the last two years, Splinterlands. It is getting too complicated for me now perhaps - I am not great at chess :)

@asgarth at least gets around!

Do you think everyone will be like a beginner again aside from the fact that you already know about the gimmicks of the game
But you know you have to be familiar with how each cards work so does that mean you will just be like a newbie trying to learn the work of each cards?

Didn't get any packs but starting to buy from the market already and picking the gems. I reckon some of these are going to get expensive fast especially the summoners. Its an exciting time in Splinterlands. Hey where is your land post? I was looking out for it to see your strategy

I think picking the gems is the right way to go with this set. It is massive with likely a lot of crap.

I was looking out for it to see your strategy

My strategy is simple. Spend too much money on too little return. Not have enough of the right cards and get screwed over with pulling only tundra plots.

Can you beat that? ;D

You are going to be safe from attack. I suspect tundra plots are where the working monsters go for a rest after producing value on the other plots. Tundra has free activities like shuffleboard and bingo.

Congrats on the good placement. Good luck on your packs. You can always sell the extras once you max a card. I assume they will be a bit higher since there is still little supply and high demand. I can't afford all those packs, and I have terrible luck, so I'll just buy singles once I find out which ones I like.

I have terrible opening luck. There are some interesting cards in the mix though to pic through. I can't max anything from all those packs...
