As the clock towards another exciting Season comes to a close, the Splinterlands ecosystem and economy continues to develop at an accelerating rate. With the last of the Beta Booster packs selling out, the next phase of the game has started! As previously announced, the end of Beta has now launched us into the introduction of the Untamed set! The team has decided to officially kick off the preorder with its second Kickstarter!

I was happy to be a backer of the first kickstarter and while I did not go all in during the first one as I was still learning about this game, I benefited from both Alpha and Beta packs in addition to some exclusive Promo cards surrounding the Dragon Splinter. The team details how those backers have benefited as the value of those cards alone have increased dramatically given their scarcity since the release. In fact, even the Alpha and now Beta cards are demonstrating continued higher valuations as the mechanic of increasing their strength for battle has been leading to every more scarcity in some of the top cards being played. As soon as the Beta packs were sold out, prices of Betas dramatically increased. Even I was in FOMO mode as I still needed a number of Neutrals to level up a number of the cards in my Collection!

I was able to be Backer number 13 out of the 274 that backed the first Kickstarter with $88,171 in total pledges. As soon as I heard of the newest campaign, I started to prepare myself and stay closely to the Discord group to be ready and hop on a good package for the future. I already knew that I was going to get into a higher tier this time given my enthusiasm for the game and the performance my Collection has had recently. However, only a half hour after its launch, I was glued to the website trying to determine which package to get. I knew from the previews mentioned that most of the packages would be centered around physical merchandise so I was already excited given the collector in me. Also, my daughter has loved watching me played since the beginning (especially opening all my packs) so I thought it would be cool to get the best package available for that.

That also got me so interested in one of the bigger packages and being able to help design a new Legendary Summoner. As I had just recently completed my collection of maxed Summoners, including the Legendary ones, I could appreciate how they worked out for the first Kickstarter backers and the power of having a maxed one! When I read you would get a maxed Legendary for designing it, I was sold! Quite a bit of money but the look on my daughter’s face when I told her that I want her to help me design the card was priceless! She has already started working on ideas as she has a great imagination and loves to do art!

The ultimate package which was only offered to one person was already taken in minutes so I luckily didn’t spend that amount as I may have been tempted as well! However, I became backer number 6 this time around and believe the first to take that top tier package! The offering has clearly drawn interest as only 24 hours after the launch, all tiers above $1,000 were sold old. As of this posting, the campaign has 144 backers with $96,228 in pledges. This has had a number of implications as bonus have been added to the campaign; some not even previously announced. For example, a new Legendary Monster will be given as part of reaching this level of success. It will be an addition to the Neutrals and exclusive to those participants of the Kickstarter.

As the Campaign launched, preorders for the Untamed Booster packs also started on the main website with @peakmonsters coming soon. As the packs included in the Kickstarter are part of these, there have been over 50k already preordered! This is excellent progress considering that at every 100k, new cards will be airdropped to those whom have purchased Untamed packs. It seems now more likely that the first airdrop will occur as part of the preorder! That means that we will get more than the 5 cards per pack we all preordered which will be interesting to see how well the deployment goes.

It continues to be encouraging to see how a relatively small community is driving the amount of transactions and gameplay that only continues to prove the capabilities of blockchain technology and the Steem protocol. While many projects that are very good at marketing and technology, not many have been able to achieve the level of engagement we see here thanks to projects like Splinterlands. It is surely what keeps me realizing the potential of the ecosystem and its community!
