If you're playing in Splinterlands like me, you've likely felt the seismic shift caused by the arrival of the Rebellion edition cards. The battlegrounds are filled with new strategies, fresh abilities, and the sheer power of these new additions. It's been just over a week since the general sale of the Rebellion packs kicked off, and if you're an avid player like myself, you've already witnessed or wielded the might of Rebellion monsters in battles. I believe that it's only a matter of time before these new cards assert their dominance and become the juggernauts of the Splinterlands.
A total of 10 million packs are set to be minted in this edition. The pre-sale saw almost 500k packs swiftly claimed, leaving 9.5 million for the general sale. However, not all 9.5 million will be available due to the Rebellion set's built-in burn mechanism. As of this moment, 437,358 packs have been opened, 314,028 are in circulation, and 189,235 have been burned. Rebellion brings a unique twist to the game, unlike any other edition before it.
Not only does it introduce four new rulesets, but it also pioneers two unprecedented features—multi-ability and dual-element summoners. This marks a significant departure from the established Splinterlands norm, elevating the gameplay to uncharted territories. The Rebellion set has swiftly secured its place in the Modern format ranked play, nudging the old Untamed edition cards aside.
As the Rebellion cards become the new rulers of the game, it's apparent that they will dominate until the launch of the next two core card-set editions, a prospect that might be a couple of years away. In light of this, I'm considering investing in these newest edition cards promptly, aiming to build a collection of maxed-out cards for competitive play in the Champion League. Given the lower print count compared to its predecessor, Chaos edition, built in burning mechanism and the altered airdrop card dynamics, I anticipate that the prices for Rebellion edition cards will maintain their value, influencing my investment strategy accordingly.
Now, let's talk about brawls - a realm where many, including myself, actively participate if they are part of a guild. Brawls serve as a crucial means to collect merit points that let you purchase Gladius cards, and the importance of Gladius cards cannot be overstated. These cards, obtained through opening Gladius packs, are essential for long-term competitiveness. The exclusive way to acquire Gladius packs is by utilizing merits earned through playing, not through purchase or resale makes them have a time in the game value that cannot be simply bought. For anyone in Splinterlands for the long haul, focusing on brawls, joining or forming a guild, and engaging in every brawl is a strategic move. It's the key to securing those coveted Gladius cards and staying competitive in the long run.
As a Modern format player fighting in the Diamond/Champions Leagues, I've witnessed the landscape transform dramatically with the introduction of Rebellion cards in ranked gameplay. The heightened difficulty and increased competition prompted me to make a strategic shift to the Wild format. Returning to Modern would require acquiring and upgrading Rebellion cards or accumulating enough packs for a Diamond-level deck. Relying solely on Chaos cards in the Modern format seems less viable now, especially with the rising influx of maxed-out Rebellion cards. The challenges became evident as I started losing matches, even against opponents using lower-level Rebellion cards. This shift wasn't confined to ranked play; it extended to brawls as well.
Therefore, my new goal in Splinterlands is crystal clear—to assemble a collection of maxed-out Rebellion meta cards. Until then, I'll be diligently playing in the Wild format, accumulating SPS and reward cards that will eventually contribute to my growing Rebellion card collection. The game has evolved, and I'm ready to adapt, invest, and thrive in this new era of Splinterlands. The Rebellion is here, and I'm all in!
Rebellion set release had a dramatic effect on the price of the SPS (Splinterlands governance token). If we take a look at the price of SPS in the last three months we see that SPS has been underperforming HIVE and Bitcoin. And then suddenly after November 7th SPS had an explosive rally making consistent higher highs. In the last three months SPS is up 96%, Bitcoin is up 59% and Hive is up only 24%:
And this great performance of the SPS token has happened prior to the Flywheel effect taking place. When the flywheel takes place I expect a quick 10x to at least 30 cents.
