Introduction
It's finally happening. The BTC halving is coming in a few days and Splinterlands is doing a promo event. The details were released four days ago. I won't be going through the details as you can check out the Splinterlands post for that. I will be sharing my thoughts on the two promos cards as well as my decision on whether I want to buy the promo cards or not.
Baron Fyatt
The first promo card is Baron Fyatt which is a 5 mana legendary magic dual fire/death element unit. This card will be priced at 31,250 DEC/Credits. Honestly, I hope they buff this card. I don't think it's worth maxing out just to get the blind. Anybody that is buying this card should be fine with a lvl 3 one for competitive play. If the person just has the money, then they can max it as well. I also don't really like how this card has scattershot. You're pretty much praying that Baron will hit a unit with good dps. The card is also sitting awkwardly at 5 mana. I feel for the 2 damage it should be at least 4 mana but I guess putting it at 5 mana would give it a chance in odd ones out ruleset where Dr blight couldn't be played.
Henchling Enforcer
In my opinion, Henchling Enforcer is definitely better than the legendary card. It's a 6 mana ranged dual element water and life dual element unit. This card can be bought at 3125 DEC/Credits which is pretty expensive for a rare card. It also features the halving ability. This card in my opinion needs to be maxed for that extra damage. I guess it could also be good at level 4 if you didn't want to spend to max it out. I could see this card being useful in even stevens, close range and going the distance rulesets. Other than that, I can't really see many other use cases for this unit but I could be wrong. We will just have to see on the 16th once some people start buying it.
My Plans
I will not be participating in this promo event. Honestly, I'm a bit sad that the cards I've bought the past few months have depreciated a lot. I feel that these promo cards will also lose their value. Not only that but I just don't think the cards are good enough to warrant their cost to purchase. If they decide to buff the cards before the release, I may consider buying a few copies. If I do, then I will also be praying that I get a runi from the raffle prizes.
