A big question I had when I first started was should I rent cards or just buy cards? This is something that everyone starting the game now is wondering. Here are my thoughts on this for first timers to the game.
****Renting Splinterlands Cards****
Then i started i just started renting. The main reason was that cards are cheaper then buying cards. This also let me learn the game and find what cards and summoner i liked. There is a learning curve in to this game there are a ton of you tube videos to help you rent and what cards to rent. Here is a link to a google sheet I used to help me while i was renting.
So i feel renting right off the bat is the best way to determine if you like this game and learn how to play with out much investment. there are multiple sites to use to rent cards with different perks. As i found out that rent will take a long time for you to really make an way in this game.
**PeakMonsters **
This is a great site as it PeakMonsters will reward you with an airdrop of PKM depending on how much you spend.
MonsterMart
This site is used more to buy but it will give you 60% back in DEC. https://monstermarket.io/
Buying
After I rent for a while I decide to buy some card and summoners using the site above. I found that i was earn more once I was owning cards. there were multiple avenues of income I could use. I could rent my cards out if I was unable to play and earn some passive income. I was also getting a daily SPS Airdrop based on the value of the cards I owned. The last thing is you could sale owned cards. Buying was my best decision so far and give you the best chance to get in to the game. But like I said try renting to determine if you like the game it is the cheapest way.
To be honest this game is something i find fun and great with all the features you have at your fingertips. They are also looking at some great improvements that I feel will move this game forward in to the metaverse
