Honestly, I think it's really important to have these cheap bear-market moments, because that's how market cycles work, but it also accidentally rewards the players that stick it through the downturn and then realise 2 years later that the cards they picked up for 5 cents are worth $1... But yes, it also makes the game way more accessible if you can build a collection of decently performing cards for a couple of dollars.
Hey @bearone! Are you still in an Aussie Splinterlands guild? Would you have space to @new.things to join in?
