Chaos Legion
  • Price point for the packs affect the entire game economy
    • Price to low, players could buy packs and burn the cards for DEC
  • Won't need vouchers for bonus packs
    • Buy 100 packs with 100 vouchers, you still receive 110 packs
  • Vouchers will be minimally traded on Hive Engine, will try to maybe get on PancakeSwap as well
  • Plan to keep using vouchers at end of pre-sale\
    • Vouchers are a measurement of your SPS Staked Days
  • There will be a 1% chance to earn a Chaos Legion pack in chest rewards
  • The limited-edition promo card may be a Legendary Death Summoner ๐Ÿ‘€

DEC:
  • Reward pool will double once Modern/Wild format is launched
  • Team doesn't control the DEC market price
