Gathering's Excitement for The People's Guild
In the episode, FatJimmy and Bjangles welcomed Gathering, a popular YouTube personality known for his market watch videos. Gathering expressed his excitement about being part of The People's Guild and shared his initial reactions to the presale. He also mentioned his eagerness to discuss various topics with TPG.
Conclave Arcana Sales and Design
The group discusses the sales progress of Conclave Arcana packs, noting that around 70,000 standard packs, 30% of alchemy packs, and 13–14% of legendary packs have been sold so far. They mention that Matt burned over 4 million SPS tokens. The conversation then shifts to the design of the Conclave Arcana set, with Bjangles praising its cohesiveness and the new layers of interaction between cards, races, and elements. They discuss the potential impact on the game, including the power of dual summoners from the Rebellion set. The group also speculates on the future value of Rebellion cards, expecting them to appreciate due to limited supply and continued relevance in the modern format. They highlight the importance of legendary summoners from Rebellion and their potential undervaluation in the current market. The conversation concludes with a discussion about the need for more lore, animations, and a PvE campaign mode to enhance player engagement and attract new players to Splinterlands.
Enhancing Player Engagement in Splinterlands
The group discusses the value of community engagement in Splinterlands, comparing the contributions of big spenders to those who invest significant time. They explore ideas for enhancing player engagement, such as introducing exclusive VIP clubs and one-of-one cards in packs. Bjangles suggests adding non-card items to packs, like the right to design a common card for the next reward set. FatJimmy confirms that Team Possible has discussed the idea of adding various items to packs beyond just cards. The conversation concludes with a discussion about the mechanics of pre-minted special cards and how they create excitement as players open packs.
Alchemy Packs and Content Creators
TPG discussed the best packs to get for the current sale, with alchemy packs being the sweet spot for both black foils and arcane cards. They also discussed the potential for new players to join the game and the need for more content creators to be featured.

Splinterlands Market Trends and Card Valuations
Gathering discusses current market trends in Splinterlands, highlighting the undervalued dual summoners from Rebellion and certain Chaos Legion reward cards. He suggests that these cards, especially the soulbound ones and those allowing gladiator cards, are likely to increase in value. The conversation then shifts to specific cards like Moxian Rebel, which Gathering believes is underpriced. Bjangles reveals that a max level Moxian Rebel currently costs $553, surprising FatJimmy. The group also discusses the recent price spike in Chaos Legion reward cards, particularly gold foils. FatJimmy shares his strategy of buying land cards, especially Chaos Legion gold foils, in anticipation of future land gameplay.

Splinterlands Land Delegation and Campaign Mode
The group discusses various aspects of Splinterlands, including land delegation, campaign mode, and upcoming features. Gathering expresses interest in buying a fire plot in region 43. They talk about the potential for land delegation and how it could increase engagement, but note challenges around building ownership and upgrades.
