How will the new reward cards affect the economy?
We have been waiting very long for them but finally there are here and starting from next monday new reward cards will be available for everybody that finishes a daily quest or within the season rewards. The chances to get a reward card will be 50% for every chest.
What does that mean for the Splinterlands economy
At the moment, new players can only increase their accounts by either buying cards from the market with quite high prices. Or they can rent these cards from existing owners.
With the new reward cards, the new players will actually be able to win these cards. They now can upgrade these cards by blending them or they can even rent these cards out to others.
The new players can now actively rent out cards as well!
I believe that this will have an effect on the rental market. Probably prices will gradually go down since there will be more affordable cards available. This will especally be the truth for cards that aren't really special. At the same time the market prices of these cards will not increase anymore I believe.
But this won't be true for all cards!
What about the special cards?
There are plenty of special cards in the Splinterlands game like the Furious Chicken with the 0 Mana or Brownie that gives swiftness to the whole team for 1 Mana. Then of course the legendary cards or the gold cards. All these cards have a limited supply and I believe these cards will still go up in value.
The summoners
In most of the series of reward cards so far there was only 1 or 2 summoners. I don't know how many there will be now but probably there won't be many of them and it won't be possible to have upgraded summoners thanks to reward cards. This mean that people will still need to buy or rent summoners at high prices to level up their whole deck.
I think that on the contrary, the reward cards will have a positive effect on the price of summoners. Since new players can now upgrade the reward cards that they get, they will want to be able to play them and for that they need to develop their summoners!
What about SPS?
The new reward cards will not have a different effect that the DEC that was distributed before. Therefore I don't think that we will see a big influence of these reward cards on the daily airdrops.
Well I'm pretty excited for these reward cards. It's so nice when in every reward chest you have this little chance to get a Gold Foil or even a Gold Foil Legendary Card....

The good thing with the reward cards is that you don't even need to buy packs of them. You get them just as rewards. As a good player you will get many of them and you can upgrade them over time or sell them...
i know it will be great to be on spt
It will add a new dimension to the game and new players will be able to upgrade their decks more easily.
agreed but it is easy already
There will be an epic card with 0 mana. I don't remember if it's a reward card or it will be in the Chaos Legion. Aggroed mentioned that in one of the AMAs.
I heard about it as well. I think he wasn't sure himself whether it will be chaos or reward. This will have a negative effect on the chicken value lol
I am looking forward to the new rewards cards that will start being awarded on Monday, Sept 13. Do you think this annoucement is why the DEC price has declined or do you think something else is driving it down?
I think there are different factors at play when it comes to DEC prices. First it was said that you wouldn't be able to buy chaos league with DEC. This means that you would need to sell DEC, get Hive and buy packs. The other thing is that the reward cards will probably have a negative effect on market prices in general and then there is another thing that is happening. When DEC prices go down, there are also less DEC distributed to players. This should in the long term bring prices up again... Probably in the end it's all due to drop of BTC prices lol
Rewards and dec earned per battle were so weak for a few days/weeks...These news cards arrive at the right time! I can't wait to see them.
It's true that the DEC rewards dropped quite a lot lately. I believe that these reward cards will be a new welcome input into the game for all players.
And because of this post...I went and bought a Brownie card LOL
Thanks man!!!
I love this Brownie card. I have developped it and in addition to swiftness it give an additional melée attack to the whole time and all this for 1 Mana!
See, my problem is...I just recently understood how the leveling up works...So I have a bunch of cards leveled up...But very few summoners LOL
And without leveled up summoners you can't play these cards at full power lol. In the long run you almost need to level up the summoners to progress beyond silver or gold league. At the moment it's pretty expensive to do that.
Yup, I did get a bunch of untamed (rare) summoners maxed, so I'm good there...But it's quite pricey right now...
Well any free cards that can add to my variety will be nice. I am getting a little tired of getting the same cards over and over again.

Yes you can only get two or three cards at the moment and they are really not the best ones lol. This will definitely bring a lot of new dynamisme in the game also with the new opportunities that are coming.
Furious chicken are so expensive but essential to climb up the league , I can hardly afford it even the regular foil
