What is Splinterlands?
A question that a child may ask but not a childish question, Splinterlands is a Online TCG (Trading Cards Game) style P2E (Play 2 Earn) game.
This title costs money to monetize but Splinterlands is free to play.
Splinterlands is available in app store or you can find the game site here.

Monetize
You can try Splinterlands totally free get a feel for this truly fantastic TCG before spending a penny.
Once you give the title a shot if you want to begin to monetize the Splinterlands account, you will need to spend a little cash.
Now if you find yourself where this author began their Splinterlands journey, IE totally broke even $10 is sometimes to much money.
By joining HIVE for free, HIVE being Splinterlands primary blockchain anyway, you can blog to earn that $10 for a Spell book.

My Last seasonal rewards
I was earning Diamond tier rewards chests last season, of which I earned 25 total just in seasonal rewards chests.
Not bad 2 packs, 4 summoners, 95.719 SPS, 2,103 MERITS (Guild Store currency), 45 Legendary Potions, 67 Alchemy Potions, & a few other rewards cards.
Of this I can spend
2 Chaos Legion Packs
$2.64 + $2.36 x 2 = $7.36
My rentals totaled just above $7 last season, so I broke even right?
No, this is just seasonal rewards not counting daily rewards for that season.
All total I'm up around $6.70 for the season (14 days), that is in addition to the rewards cards, which may temporarily be unsellable, however they have use & add account power.
So while yes not todays profit Rewards Cards lower tomorrows NFT rental deficit.
The Rewards cards are the best reward for players as you build a more diverse Splinterlands portfolio, Your build becomes stronger, & you require less rented power.
Keep in mind I'm not breaking the bank or committing all day to Splinterlands, just playing on break & stuff.
Just a few stand out examples of rewards cards thus far.
Suffice it to say Splinterlands is the TCG that rewards their loyal fanbase, a game, a community, the myth, & the legend.
Genius league sports
Now those unaware for the next 250 days or so the Splinterlands players staking SPS in game can also sign up for Genesis League Sports to earn GLX Daily.
You will need a Spell book for Splinterlands which will cost around $10, you can sign up via my referral link below.
https://splinterlands.com/?ref=chubb149
Sports are not this authors favorite topic for a P2E, However I'm already staking SPS Playing Splinterlands, not claiming GLX is leaving money on the table.
https://www.genesisleaguesports.com/
Now staking GLX in game earns you both GLX & GLGT
Splinterforge
You can as a Splinterlands player on HIVE play a second P2E Splinterforge using Splinterlands NFTs.
Its all connected?!!
Kinda the beauty of blockchain the interconnected nature of projects, this is how multi project NFT collections are becoming more normalized. Splinterforge using Splinterlands NFTs would be the first project using a system like this on HIVE.
The objective in Splinterforge is much akin to a Splinterlands Boss Run the game community participates in collectively.
Those that played before February 15th Splinterforge was in alpha now the rewards are real and live, traditionally alpha builds are still unmonetized as the game is still in the testing phase.
Having participated in many, Blockchain Game Alpha Build tests I can attest to the regularity of such a concept.
Splinterforge using Splinterlands NFTs I hope is the beginning of such tie in projects on HIVE, tie in projects like this are a rather prevalent trend on WAX NFT collections.
Splinterforge now live & monetized you can find the P2E games below.

Packs & profits
When Pack lines from Splinterlands or similar collections come to the end of their sale, my instinct is to top up my portfolio with a few extras while the prices are low.
The Chaos legion packs now have an extra 13 Legendary cards since they launched making the profitability of opening them much higher on average.
Chaos legion packs where not selling very fast so this colection will have skewed NFT distribution from it so the 103 cards 206 with gold foil will eventually become increasingly rare.
So when it comes to chaos packs stock up & burn them while you got them, take it from someone that has been through this with a number of packs already.

The Chaos legion packs are going, going, & soon to be gone.
WAX Web Wallet Upgrade
Since you can buy sell & trade Splinterlands NFTs on WAX blockchain its worth a mention, there is a new WAX Web wallet.
Since My giveaways are through WAX wallet here is the new cloud wallet site.
https://www.mycloudwallet.com/nfts
The 5 WAX NFT airdrop is via a URL like the one shown below
I also send out another 5 WAX NFTs to those that drop their WAX wallet address, Splinterlands assets have their own WAX Atomic hub page & tools.
https://splinterlands.atomichub.io/tools/overview/splinterlands
Diversify or die
Diversity is a key concept to the new Splinterlands META (Most Effective Tactics Available), this changes not only play style, but the Assets rental appeal.
The introduction of 2 new rule sets, 3 new abilities, & new rewards cards into Splinterlands relatively recently has lead many to reexamine their build or strategy.
My recent match is a perfect example, my opponent on top played far more expensive cards, meanwhile I have 1 card rented out of all of them that I played.
I only had this rented 👇 & it did basically nothing.
The rest of the cards played where all free, obtained via playing Splinterlands.
So obviously its paying to be a patient player lately, & its likely to continue in this direction, so how does one rent in a market that may not need it as much?
When renting out Splinterlands cards in game you have the choice of daily or seasonal, season long rentals are lacking to say the least & I for one pay to have no rentals to worry about that daily.
Keep the fact Chaos Legion packs are coming to an end soon, The rental prices eventually will reflect their absence & the Seasonal rentals most of all.
