Today is the PROMO card day - "Vruz" the goblin

• This is a Dragon Splinter card
• Each 1000 SPS token = eligibility to buy 1 Vruz using voucher (which is at about 12 cents now)
• I have enough SPS for 26 Vruz
• 2 of which are Gold Foil (about $7/each right now, not bad, but I am just going to keep it)
• Commons are about 42 cents each, it's been fluctuating wildly all day
• We won't know the maximum BCX until next week
• While I want to get this card maxed, do I really want to spend over $160 USD to top it off? Seems a bit steep
• Maybe I will wait a bit for the price to drop, if not, tough luck like the Lux Vega
• My main concern is spending all the money and not using it enough
• It is a very good 2 mana card though especially at the max level

I really love the design. Splinterlands has done a good job :)

ECR got eliminated and token system is introduced

👇

• 50 tokens is the cap
• Token replenishes 1 per hour, use using 500 DEC, DEC-B or Credits (for Diamond/Champion), cheaper for lower leagues
• I don't foresee myself buying tokens, I want to play less, not more
• This as a good mechanic to burn DEC, especially for players fighting for seasonal rankings (which also rewards DEC)
• The new system makes the game clean and more streamlined
• Players no longer have worry about ECR penalties
• It also means less games per day (going from about 40 previously to now 24)
• I could also play 50 games and then take a 2 day break without losing out
• This is great, more free time for other games... like Diablo IV!
