we plan to add DEC bonuses for using Beta edition cards in ranked battles, as we currently do for Alpha cards. This should provide additional incentive to acquire and use Beta edition cards as it has for the Alpha edition.

Lots of awesome stuff in that up date but I was extremely happy to read the above quoted part of the update. Its been a main concern of mine for some time and I'm happy to see that the Splinterlands team has taken the right direction with the planned DEC boost Beta will get in ranked play.

Have yous considered upping the DEC burn value of BETA cards as well? There's a very large gap between ALPHA and BETA burn rates. Both are officially sold out so I think it makes sense to close that gap a little.
