I have seen this "lull" as an opportunity to just buy new Rewards (rares and epics) cards for pennies and then turn them around to rent. My objective is to get the amount I spend on rentals to be completely offset by rental revenue.

I don't see things really picking up until Q4, which is when people are going back inside again. By Q4, we'll have the upgrades ready to go: SPS Validator nodes, land, better brawls, enhanced tournaments, Modern/Wild, etc.
