Welcome to the Chaos!
I was recording the opening for a new podcast/YouTube series I started (keep an eye on https://zapcast.org/bitcoin-like-a-braaimaster/), so I opened 1 pack for the recording:
A pretty standard opening: 1 rare and 4 commons
Poor $ value... BUT... The Xenith Archer looks like I could find some work for her to do in a fair number of games...
... then I opened the other 15 packs:
3 Legendaries, 2 epics + 1 Gold Foil common.
Prior to opening my packs, I was most excited about the Fiends, and glad to see I got one. I don't generally play the earth splinter much... but looking at the new summoners and green cards... I'm not upset at all that I got the Fungus Fiend... definitely gonna start playing a lot more Earth Splinter battles.
As for my other 2 legendaries: Might just put them onto the market (and use that cash to buy more packs... hmmmm... choices, choices).
I'm happy with my epics and rares in general though, and overall:
The packs cost 16 x $4 (packs) + ~$6 (2 x 80 x potions) = ~$90
including 16 vouchers needed @ (roughly) $20 during pre-sale though == $410 ... but since the vouchers were airdropped to us for free, I'll ignore the $320 for the vouchers ;-)
Value opened: ~$220
i.e. I'm gonna put this one into the win column !!!
My SPS Airdrop points are slightly down:
Took this screenshot before I grabbed another 6 packs (so Card Pack airdrop points were actually 4, 800.
The price of a lot of the older cards dropped, so 3 of my low-ball bids were also met soon after Chaos Legion dropped... and I managed to pick up a lvl 2 Djinn Oshannus + 2 x Gold Foil Wavesmiths (Collection Power = 2, 500).
So, if I hadn't opened my packs I would be on ~2,500 airdrop points more... nothing really in the bigger scheme of things, so all good there... and my deck is substantially more competitive now. #SCORE!
OH YES!!! Speaking of value:
Have you seen the price of our previously-loved furious chickens?
... chickens are down to $8.80/BCX ... People are making a mistake on this one... I think I might just grab a few.
Chickens still have a few uses/advantages over the new Chaos Legion Fiends:
- They can be played in any Splinter.
- They can be played WITH a fiend (think of those 12 mana cap games - 2 x 0-mana cards could bulk up a line-up quite nicely).
- A (non-upgraded) chicken can be used in the "Keep-Your-Distance" ruleset.
DAMMIT!!! If I wasn't saving up my DEC to buy packs I would go grab a handful of those chickens right now and wait for everyone to (re)realise their value ;-)
Again: Choices... Choices!
What would you do?
All in all, a fairly decent start to my Chaos Legion adventure I think. I'm going to get a lot more active (as soon as I get dropped enough vouchers)... and will be chronicling that (and the rest of my crypto adventures) right here on Hive (and @threespeak).
Never heard of Splinterlands?
If you're reading this because of a Facebook or Twitter post, you might not have heard of Splinterlands before...
In short:
@Splinterlands is an online blockchain game built on the Hive blockchain. It is similar to Magic: The Gathering and other trading card games... but now each card is an NFT & these NFT's and other in game assets are tradable and have real monetary value. #SCORE!

P.S. My website will be undergoing a revamp as well, so keep an eye on both http://braaiboy.co.za/braai-recipes & https://zapcast.org/bitcoin-like-a-braaimaster/
...and please connect with me elsewhere on Social... for now ;-)

I really wish I could have an idea of this splinter land
Maybe you could just help me out🙂
I've actually got a video focussed on @splinterlands specifically coming out soon... but until then: they have a great FAQ over on https://splinterlands.com/?p=faq ... but for now the best advice I can give you is to just join the game and play a few games.
Seriously... You've already got a Hive account and can sign in with that using KeyChain or HiveSigner. Signing up is probably the hardest part ;-)
Then: Work through the tutorial (they've got a step-by-step in-game tutorial) that literally teaches you the basics (my girlfriend picked it up in less than a week)... and then when you're ready, pay the $10 for the spellbook.
The only down-side: Without any SPS staked (and in-game token that you can buy on HIVE-Engine though), you'll need to wait about 35 days before you can buy any packs... but until then you can grab some cards on the secondary market at @peakmonsters (https://peakmonsters.com/).

No, don't sell your cards! Rent them out. Take advantage of that passive income and buy more packs that way! I am renting out about 70% of my deck right now. I pull in a good 3000 DEC per day.

For sure, I'm doing that with all my older edition cards.
... but in order to get my grubby paws on some new packs I'm going to need some quick(er) cash... If I sell just those 2 legendaries (excl the Fiend), I could get ~$60 and then use that to buy another 10-15 packs including potions.

Okay, good point. I am likely going to try and hold my vouchers to the end of this window so I can buy a larger quantity and get the bonus packs.
