I think that the key isn't minting cards for newbies, that would probably hurt the old collections of alpha and beta, the idea of having a special edition only for newbies with ghost cards isn't bad but Imo another way of solving this would be to give the newbies some special credits to rent cards, that way the new player could rent important cards for his collections and renters would be paid from the game to cover those credits.
This could be positive for the newbies and for the rental market which is extremely cheap right now, in most cases your gold leveled cards don't value more than 0.006 Hive.

I'm not opposed to the renting idea in general, but I wouldn't use it early on, for two reasons:
I think it could be added to the Summoners Spellbook as an additional boon. Like when you buy the Summoners Spellbook, you gain 1000 renting credits (1$) to do with as you please. That could be a cool way to give a little extra with the Summoners Spellbook, help the rental market, and introduce new players to another cool concept of Splinterlands.

Yeah, I mean with the spellbook hasn't sense imho to give rental credits to people that don't want to pay at least the spellbook. If is a significant amount like idk 10 $ in renting credits would allow to the new player to compete if they choose well what to rent.
Should be a rental market from SL, maybe some kind of guide with suggestions, an introduction to the game and some strategies incorporated. That would definitely improve the initial game experience.
