Splinterlands - New Reward cards on Sale?
Just a little more than a week into the new reward cards and I am starting to see some reward cards have dropped a bit from its originally asking prices. For those who are new to the game this maybe an ideal time to purchase some reward cards while the prices are low.
Are They Really Cheap?
I would consider a card being reasonably priced when it is slightly more than that of its DEC burn rate. At peak prices about a month ago many cards were multiples that of its DEC burn rate. The supply was low and the demand was high so comparing purchasing DEC price versus DEC burn rate was not very particle.
With new supply of reward cards that keeps adding each day the prices of the newest cards are currently about 3 times that of its respective DEC burn rate. For example Gargoya at 1 bcx is a little over 16.5 DEC while its burn rate is 5 DEC. In dollar terms its only $0.09 or 90 credits.
The gold foil version of the same card at 1 bcx is also about 3 times the price of its DEC burn rate, 367 DEC for purchase versus 125 DEC for burn rate.
Add on top a 3% DEC return back on purchases if you buy from monstermarket.io or cardauctionz.com.
In terms of prices between old and new reward cards it is currently appearing to be that new card prices are lower than that of existing. This benefits new players to purchase cards as the prices are already less than that of pre Chao Legion reward cards were introduced.
Look at the legends in image above as there appears to be less than $10 per bcx for some of the newest legendaries. Far cry from expensive legendaries just a month ago. Even the the cheapest Untamed reward legend it double that at $21. Hive price dropping is helping the Splitnerland cards prices too.
In similar terms are the epic reward cards.
Most of the cheapest epic reward card prices were coming off the new card series.
Conclusions
Although purchasing a card at its DEC burn rate value is now unheard of it was common to see about a year ago. The smaller the ratio between DEC spend over DEC burn rate the cheaper you have made out with the card. In generally a ratio of 3x or less I would personally feel is reasonable to purchase. With the current Hive price drop lower it is definitely helping to lower the cards prices.
The next time I see a deal for a Chaos Region reward cards I hope to snag them before other players. Some of the best places to see cards being discounted is bdvoter's discord channel Link here. The room automatically fills up with posts on latest discounted cards that are +10% or more per a bcx than the previous lowest cost for the card. So players can spot new card deals pretty easily if they continue to read latest messages within the room.
Until next time thanks for reading!!!
