I do not think I was particularly successful with my minting of 20 Runi as I did not get a Gold Foil nor did I really get any unique combinations. In fact, even after 20 mints, I think that my first Runi, the Ape, is the best and the one I will use in game for playing my Collection. I do see some opportunities to combine them for some building of uniqueness around them but I do have to consider whether it will economically make sense to do so. It was unfortunate but at least I can probably consider myself to be in some unique club of having so many.
This was significant for me as I had never really used my Ether for anything in the past. I had been accumulating my Ether for staking which I ultimately did not do which provided me the liquidity to going down this rabbit hole with Runi. While I still think Ether is likely the better short term investment, I trust the Splinterlands team on this being a unique part of the project for years to come as it will be the bridge to a larger community. Only time will tell!
Timing was probably the culprit when it comes to Runi for Splinterlands. Being in a bear market never helps projects and the swings seen in NFTs were likely a reason why we did not sell out. My thought is that not being sold out may be a hidden treasure as now Runi are almost half as scarce then intended. If utility is added and more are combined/burned, we could have a scarcity issue if they become a key piece of the future ecosystem being built. My trust remains although I am biased with my latest round of FOMO!
