Hello @xplosive!

EXODE alpha only started 2 weeks ago and it does not yet have everything Splinterlands added over two years!

In EXODE:

Trading:

• you can purchase packs with HIVE / STEEM / Paypal from us, and with HIVE from players.
• you currently can sell packs to players for HIVE. HIVE being our blockchain we won't allow to sell for other currencies than those backed by HIVE.
• the first 42 single cards came with Starter Opening.
• we can't trade single cards yet but it's being added (in the next 2 days I would say).
• there is a token released to hive-engine (EXOFUEL), announced with what to do with it, but it's usage is not deployed yet, it will only be deployed with colonization.

Playing:

• EXODE has a playable first content (Evacuation).
• but will not be a full game until Colonization gameplay is added.
• when Colonization is there, you'll have daily missions and seasons; colonization is part of a live, ongoing game!

So during alpha in May, we have Evacuation as playable content.

We planned rewards at the end of the month for Evacuation players; end of month because at that point Evacuation gameplay will be refined and it will be more fair and balanced.

EXODE rewards are sent from our account here which receives 50% of our HIVE sales.

Evacuation alpha can be tried for free as we happily share the link to people coming to our discord. People also have access to it from their own collection page.

I hope this answers some of your questions! Feel free to say hello in our Discord.
