Those 3 tokens you mentioned are the ones available to everyone, and both DEC and SPS are needed to play the game. The other tokens are more like add-ons or higher-level investments. To get those, a player has to do a lot of playing.
You need the equivalent of anywhere from 2 ETH to 2.5 ETH to buy 1 TRACT, and it has to be quantity 1. I'm sure there are players who have at least 1 TRACT, but it's not something they picked up from winning 6 battles.
As for things like the 4 TOTEMx tokens and the SLDICE, it looks to me as if they are similar in purpose to owning hotels on properties in Monopoly: whatever would happen normally without them becomes more costly when it happens with them in the game or battle.
I don't play the game, so I'm only guessing. I'm just trying to come up with a reason for spending large sums of HIVE or SPS on them. Then again, maybe those more expensive tokens exist are investment vehicles for non-players. I'll figure it out some day.
