Its important that we develop the tools we need to manage the game, and these land cards are an important way to do this. I realize that people are excited about it, and that's terrific. But I also want to assure you that we aren't neglecting the gamer aspect of our ecosystem either.

We just came out with a completely new way to give out reward cards, introduced a new mechanic to incentivize both higher level play and SPS ownership, installed a whole FTP mode to attract and retain new people, and also have plans for a guild overhaul along with a new Survival Mode upgrade. I'm definitely focused on getting more players, and the numbers have been going up over time (albeit at a slower pace than I would like).

We also have a few surprises for some new modes that will be achievable once we release a few more dynamics, and on top of that, our core ranked play mechanics continue to improve in terms of depth and variability.

All aspects are the game are important and feed on each other, and over time you will see that all methods of play will not only be supported, but also enhanced by this integrated ecosystem.

The TLDR is that if people put their cards on land then they will miss out on other opportunities, and vice versa. There should be many ways to play, collect, and invest; and I fully support all of them.
