Over the last 2 months, I have gotten very into Splinterlands. I have had a spellbook since March and have been participating on and off throughout that time. Additionally I have bought and sold a lot of my deck numerous times over that period and have been constantly rebuilding instead of stacking that entire time (a huge mistake, but we're still early... probably).
I have always been keeping a close eye on the market and prices and am not quite sure how to feel about what I've been seeing recently. I am seeing powerful cards down between 25-35% from where I bought them or from where their price was holding steady for a while.
Some cards that I like to use for reference are these ones:
These are some of the most useful cards in the game in my opinion and now they are down big from the prices I am used to seeing them. The Llama for example was trading around $800 for the longest time and is now available for $250 cheaper. Plado Emberstorm was trading for upwards of $900 for a while and is now down to $500. Though these prices are still insane for characters in a game, it is a bit disheartening to see the prices dropping down as other cards that were introduced are being strategized to replace some of the big hitters.
My biggest investment in Splinterlands was purchasing a Kron the Undying for almost $450... Now take a look:
I could have paid 33% less if I had just waited. Of course I didn't know that at the time because it could have just as easily gone 33% the other direction, and I still think that it will eventually.
So I have two options here. I can be mad that I overpaid for a lot of the cards I have... Or I can see this as an opportunity to buy more at cheaper prices.
If we see a miracle Christmas airdrop somewhere in the DeFi world like we did last year with SushiSwap, I will be absolutely pumping funds into Splinterlands. Cards at the top of my list are the summoners I pictured here in addition to Yodin and Cryptmancer; who knows, maybe we'll see some money coming in and I can grab these gems.
If you are looking to get invested in Splinterlands right now, whether hundreds of dollars or just a few, it is a great time to start making moves in the market. Cards are cheaper than they've been in months and haven't lost their intrinsic value of helping you get rich battling in the Splinterlands.
Good luck to all!
