Before presale, I decided to fully commit an investment into SPL, become a Legionnaire, Maverick, and purchase 1050 packs. Seeing that this was my first time opening packs, I opened all but 10! Below is the breakdown of the cards I received, burn value, and some stats.
Overview:
From my openings plus a few purchases, I was able to build a strong Gold deck for each splinter. I pulled ~45-55 summoners of each splinter. Further, I was able to level my commons to 6 and rares to 4. Epics are harder to pull with only 173 out of 5000 total possible cards (0.16%). It takes roughly 2000-2500 to max out a CL set. I was competing in Silver 1 exclusively before opening my packs so this was a very fun boost for my gameplay and future investment in SPL.
GOLD FOIL LEGENDARIES!
Out of 5020 cards, I pulled 7 Gold Foil Legendaries (GFL -- 0.14% pull rate) These are the prize that everyone looks for when opening packs. I have not sold any of my GFL yet and as they bring me lots of CP and future potential asset appreciation value!
Economics:
I purchased packs at the peak of hype and a bull market during pre-sale. While my portfolio is down "on paper," my outlook is very bullish for the future of this game. E-sports, SPS earnings, and land all present exciting features that are coming to the metaverse. Many players understandably are concerned with dropping prices and the current crypto market however, I am looking at my investment and time in SPL as a long term HOLD. Crypto gaming is in its infancy and Splinterlands is a leading game that is revolutionizing the ecosystem. The graphics, gameplay, and strategy keeps drawing me in and keep me wanting more. Cards and SPS are at a discount and I'm taking advantage of it! As always DYOR.
Happy to answer any questions!
How could you stop with 10 left to open?
Great break down. Thanks for sharing. Hope I don't get a match against you :)
Thanks for the feedback Cryptoace33! Happy to practice battle whenever!
