In this video, I cover how Survival Mode may end up being our most active format when it comes out (vs Modern & Wild). This is due to the sheer number of cards available.
I continue to use summoners as the main metric to track the potential of this considering they are the bottleneck - you cannot field a team without summoners. If we exclude the soul-bound summoners from the Chaos Legion reward set, and I've made my argument for this in the past, we have about 800k cards. Having these summoners all face off against one another in a single round of battles would be 400k battles (2 summoners per battle) - which is the total average amount for battles in Modern or Wild currently.
Taking this into account, we can assume more battles will happen as the summoners who win are still eligible for another game and we add on another 200k battles, then 100k, then 50k, and so onwards. Of course, the higher level the summoners are the less cool down time they will have and if maxed they will be eligible to play 3 times per season - even if they lose every battle.
So this puts us in an interesting position as the number of battles will be high, but what will the quality of battles be like? Sure bot armies could come and and try 1 BCX cards but if they continually lose to players playing higher level or max cards it ends up being a net loss for them, even at the aggregate.
I'm very excited to see how things play out once Survival Mode is launched. 2025 cannot come soon enough!

Interesting, might be a good idea to pick up a bunch of summoners for the Survival mode...
now is probably the time while they are cheap

I'm curious to see what kind of tools we will have to 'mark' cards that can be played in these modes, many players have a lot of inactive cards, the bot can take those, but it can't lock out my ranked play set

Thanks @azircon!
Hey dude! Would you happen to know what's caused this huge DEC burn?
