The biggest draw for me is being able to use it as an asset to generate more revue. It’s not a lot but when you tie up one asset with another that a nice bonus. Everything from passive to playing daily. A lot cards might not be worth much today. If the game has the staying power of 5 to 7 years many of those cards will be worth several times over what they are today.

My biggest concern with the Alphas are who is going pay it if they become worth ten times as much one day. Just because something can sell for high amounts does not mean there much volume behind it.

I can see people paying crazy amounts for Magic The Gathering cards because holy smokes the artwork on them alone is amazing. There are collectors out in that market that will pay the premium because of that alone. I don’t have the same feelings towards my SM cards. They are decent to look at but not something I would want spend to have in digital form.

I’ve already earned my start up investment back a couple times

• Content creation
• Selling cards
• Affiliate program

If this game gets really big holding cards will be amazing but the amount you could earn beyond their value by using them is even more.

Something I’ve not test out yet is the new lease system they have added in. That would be yet another way for anyone investing in higher tiers to have a safe way to generate income if they themselves don’t enjoy playing the game itself or go on a long break.
