There is no reason for me to expect enough Cards from Rebellion Airdrops to have them be playable on my Battles. A Level 1 Regular Foil Legendary or a Level 2 Gold Foil Legendary can be very useful when I participate Brawls in my Guild. What matters is that @splinterlands Cards can be extremely valuable in the future. We have seen how the prices can work wonders for all Editions other than Rebellion and Chaos Legion. One of them is ongoing and the other was launched to match the bull market demand.

Rebellion Conflicts Season 3

I only managed to join these Rebellion Conflicts due to the purchase of Baron Fyatt during the first day of Baron's Bounty Promo created for BTC Halving. It turned out to be a good investment with 41% short term profit thanks to one of the Cards being a Gold Foil. Without that, I would have been stuck at a loss with 32 entries to Lucky Draw Prizes.

Mage Wagons are a good use case for VOUCHERs. They can be bought with DEC or even CREDITS. But there is something to keep in mind for all @splinterlands players when making purchases.

• Playing with DEC is almost always cheaper than CREDITS.
• Playing with VOUCHERs is almost always cheaper than DEC.

Those who HODL VOUCHERs get to have the best discounts while the demand for VOUCHERs helps to keep the prices up. I don not think we have enough use cases for VOUCHERs. We should be able work on that over time.

Adding The Cards to Mage Wagon

If I do manage to get a Venka The Vile or any of the future Airdrop Cards, they can be added to the existing Mage Wagon increasing the rate of contribution to the Conflicts.

Results After ~4 Days

At the current rate I will not be able to guarantee myself an Airdrop at any of the conflict seasons. If I manage to find enough funds to invest in Rebellion Booster Packs, the trajectory will be different. There is a high chance that I will focus on Praetoria before I even consider investing in Rebellion for anything other than Promo Events such as Baron's Bounty.

Burning Cards for Glint

The ability to burn Soulbound Cards for Glint has been a welcome one. I have already burned 412 Cards as I had no immediate use for them after reaching the Max Level for the respective Summoners and Monsters. There will be the ability to make these Cards Unbound through using DEC. That will happen after the Reward Cards have gone out of print. I want to do my best to reach Max Level for all Cards before they are discontinued. These are my latest burns:

The amount of Glint received is 5X of Collection Power of the Card. Unless you are burning a very rare Card, the Glint received will not get you far. A Gold Foil Legendary Card on the other hand should give you 62,500 Glint. If you are burning a Max Level Card, there is a 5% bonus to be applied.

Gladius Case Openings

I am back into getting MERITS only through Brawls. I have to focus on Reward Cards first before they are out of print. I do not know of any Gladiator Cards being discontinued. I have not even heard of a rumor of any such thing happening in a recent time. I will Level Up my Gladiators slowly over a long period of time. I have managed to get at least one Gladiator ready for Gold League Levels.

There are rare Gladius Case Openings that result in a Legendary or Gold Foil Cards. I make sure to use Blood Stones + Power Stones to double the chance of receiving Legendary and Gold Foil Cards. Overall I think I have had good luck with Gladius Cases.

These Are The Best Times to Invest

Once the asset prices start skyrocketing, there will be more players coming in leading to more completion for the same resources. We already saw SPS go up 3X and we are in favorable market conditions in the cryptosphere. Those who join the game now will not have to wait a long time to see positive results. New Player Experience will most likely release in Q4 along with serious marketing efforts to bring a flood of new player. It is best to position yourselves before that happens.

Happy Gaming! Happy Investing!
