RE: The Hyperdeflation Of Splinterlands: Why The Cards Are Exploding In Price

in LeoFinance3 years ago

This is a beautiful post flauwy! The graphics are top-notch and the information is really super helpful. I've been in the game for a while and honestly had no idea why there had been a sudden rush on the older decks... I just realised this morning that my collection had substantially increased in value. I also didn't know that the monsters could act as workers on the new land expansion... so this is really helpful. Thank you!

It's honestly going to be a hard balance for the team to keep cards/editions low enough for new entrants without damaging the value of the older sets. I initially thought they could continually release new editions, but they'll start to get into trouble if they essentially reskin the stats of older cards... still, I'm sure there are all sorts of new skills and combinations to last a while yet.

Thank you, I always try to make my articles something for the eyes as well.

They will certainly be more creative than merely reskinning cards (except for the fanart in-game skin shop, that will eventually come but that is just new skins for old cards). There are plenty of things they can do to create new cards. Plus, in the future there will be multiple game modes, some that are exclusively for the new edition cards and some for all cards. This will allow new players to stay competitive without investing a fortune into old cards and give long term players and card holders the option to get rewarded for owning such valuable cards.
