RE: Top 30 Most Suggested Cards by the Archmage Splinterlands Hand Selector

What are the benefits of Alpha (ARCHMAGEA) and Beta (ARCHMAGEB) Passes?

Discounts on the future Rewards Fee System. Alphas will see a larger discount than Betas.
Alpha-Only Preloaded Balance Alphas receive a preloaded balance to help pay those fees ($10 worth)
Prelaunch Airdrops During our Prelaunch promotion, each Alpha and Beta held earns you entries into the 8 weeks of drawings. ARCHMAGEA counts for 2 entries, ARCHMAGEB counts for 1 entry.
Future Features As the Archmage project roles out future features, Alphas and Betas will be rewarded whenever possible with Early Access, Free Access (when others pay), or Discounted Access.

All tokens get you access to the service, but Alpha and Beta tokens have the above benefits :)
