RE: My Splinterlands Gold Card Rental Flywheel Has Kicked Off

Dude! That's amazing! You're making like $50 a day just from renting out digital assets!

If you're not inclined, I definitely wouldn't be buying Rebellion cards just at the minute... the individual cards are way more expensive than the packs because everyone is preparing for the Rebellion Battle Wagon airdrop conflicts. With your strategy it might even be worth waiting 9 months (until the airdrops are done) and then pick up Rebellion cards as everyone suddenly sheds their excess cards.

I definitely expected the rental market to be strong now as heaps of people (myself included) pulled all their cards off the market... so good work taking advantage of that! Way to go against the grain!

Now the game begins for 100% utilization. I legitimately feel like I have clients. In a rental market full of low BCX, some max golds stand out like a sore thumb to command a solid return. I'm glad that they seem to be appreciated by serious players who may notice that I'm giving up the playing side for now. Win-win.

You're totally right on the airdrop timing. Aside from snagging any bargain bin prices along the way, I feel like that's the right move. If I ever decide to cut myself off from UT and CL cards (eye roll at myself), I'll be able to buy from a position of leverage then.

What are your recent or upcoming strategies?

I'm not super sure people are observant enough to notice that you're not playing while they rent your Gold foil cards... I imagine they'd be mostly worried about their ROI on that investment (tournaments and ranked play) and just be so happy your cards are available to them.

Personally I've gone heavy with Rebellion because I didn't participate in Chaos Legion and have been struggling to win many games since. Rebellion has given me a boost in wins already, and I had some spare cards which I'm selling to buy the more powerful Chaos Legion and Riftwatcher cards. I'm really just aiming to be competitive and make the game more fun for myself... it hasn't been all that fun losing ground each season.

I've only got the 7 plots of land, and so they're all producing stuff, but I'm still not sure if the resources generated are better than the rental DEC I could be getting... I guess we'll see how much valuable that Research ends up being.
