Ghost Cards
Its a term that been thrown around quite a lot recently, By devs, content creators and other players, but what does it actually mean and what do us the average Splinterlands player need to be wary of. Well in this mini 5 part series I will take a look at each splinter and show what Ghost cards are, what actions to take and some advice.
If that sounds like something you'd be interested then please stick around, follow the blog and share and like.
What Is a Ghost Card??
The term Ghost Card has no reference to actual Ghosts... It actually stands for the starter cards, these cards that are semi transparent cards issued out to new accounts when they start playing and become non ghost cards when the account purchases a copy of the card... hence Ghost Cards!
So Why Is This a Hot Topic??
Well since the game kicked off they have always had players running bots and these bots have been farming rewards using these Ghost cards without having to pay anything into the eco system other than the $10 spell book... Its got to a point where its having such an impact on the game that the devs have decided enough is enough and from May 2022 when the NEW Reward Update drops these Ghost Cards will be penalised for being used. The cards wont go away and people can still use them but if they do any rewards they win e.g DEC will be dramatically penalised by a certain % dependant on the number of Ghost cards played.
What Does This Mean??
Well what it boils down to is, if you don’t want your rewards to be penalised then your going to need to have at least 1 BCX of these cards you usually use for FREE! What you need to take into account though is everyone is going to need to do this, which means those FREE Ghost cards on the market are now inflating and will continue to inflate in price that is. Supply and Demand...The Demand is increasing, The Supply hasn’t changed so a price appreciation is inevitable. The earlier you can pick up your copy or copies the better you will be. Just think there’s estimated to be thousands upon thousands of bot account who will now need these Ghost cards to continue earning means all them account will need 1 BCX, There simply isn’t enough on the market.
Water Deck Ghost Cards
Most Popular and Current 1 BCX Cost:
Diemonshark
As you can see in the last 60 days the price has started to rise, granted only steadily at 10% so this is still a great time to get in on this card, But its not farfetched to see that this card rise to well above $1 per BCX in no time especially when you see where this was priced 1 month ago.
Deeplurker
As you can see in the last 60 days the price has risen by 29%, granted currently its on cents but again its not farfetched to see that this card rise to well above $1 per BCX in no time especially when you see where this was priced 1 month ago at above $0.33 per BCX. Its time to buy folks.
Ice Pixie
As you can see, now is the time to pick up a copy as the price is actually starting to rise on this card and at over $2 its not as cheap as the rest so where can this go per BCX? $4? Its a low mana card with magic and flight!
Hardy Stonefish
One of the biggest increases ive seen is on this card at 70% and its no surprise, yes its not the best card in the game but at just 1 mana cost its a nice sponge to just throw in and absorb some of that onslaught. Whilst the price is still ridiculously tiny when you think you need 400 copies to max out 70% rise on 400 copies sure mounts up.
Kelya Frendul
Finally the water summoner and another surprise. Tarsa on the last blog was a surprise as its actually cheaper to buy now than 60 days ago, granted Keyla is only 5% cheaper...I guarantee it wont last! This price will be above $5 by the end of the year 100%!
Advise
As you can see the Water deck in comparison to the Fire deck is seeing that rise steadily and its no surprise, everyone loves the Water deck its such a strong deck and all them bots want at least 1 BCX. What surprised me as I mentioned above is Keyla, Id 100% advise buy now, it wont be cheaper than this again.
