Hello there again fam, I just want to share with you my journey last month on my rental income and how much did I invest in it, and what makes me think that the new reward cards from chaos legion are worth investing in.
As a new player its really difficult for us to find ways to rent cards or buy cards that will give us stable passive income or earnings. I'm just playing on bronze to silver league as of the moment and once I was able to make it to the Gold league but rented too many cards at one point that gives me negative earnings instead of a positive one.
So I tried to explore after that and found out the wonderful people in SPLINTERLANDS community. The twitch streamers and the community especially "Gank" aka 
I need a month of data (Oct1-31) for me to post this blog and show you how it helps me to gain extra and have a stable passive income.
Oct 1, 2021 (New Season Starts)
This is the day I invested money and look for the cards on the market focusing on the new Chaos Legion reward cards as it is one of the most used cards soon in the new upcoming format.
What did I look first?

Overall, I have 42 Legendary cards for rent, 1 Gold Foil from my daily quest chest, and 2 normal foil from prizes/daily chest. It was supposed to be 43 cards, the other normal foil card that I won as well was accidentally put on sale instead of rental so after that experience, I all locked up my cards.
The main reason behind prioritizing buying these cards is because I can use them for the long term and the quantity I bought them will be able for me to maximize their abilities if the cards are no longer profitable for rentals.
Then after that, I was able to grab some Gold Foil Chaos Legion Epic Cards.

How many cards bought: Multiple numbers of cards
I will not further discuss the complete details of my rare cards here but I chose to buy the following cards below as these four are the cheapest that time ranging from $.16-$.28/bcx.
Exploding Rats - 6 Level 8 and 2 Level 7 (15,875 Collection Power)
Gargoya Devil - 2 Level 8 (1 level 8 @$8 sold for $95) and 2 Level 6/7 (all of the four was sold @$.80-.90/bcx)
Twilight Basilisk - 2 Level 8 and 1 Level 6 (6,117 Collection Power)

Overall, I have 10 max level Rare Normal Foil cards for rent, and a number of cards from level 6 below. Most of my single rares came in the daily/season chest and streamers give aways.
What happened after?
I just watched all my cards produce passive income from my rentals and SPS airdrop points that I will continue to enjoy daily in the next 258 days. You can check my last 2 seasons report card below regarding my total rental income and sps air drop points.

I wanted to share this amazing experience from any kind of player like a newbie like me who just has average income and was able to get these earnings right away. I wish all of you guys to continue to be inspired and go big with SPLINTERLANDS.
As you can see in 30 days, I have gained an extra 53,038 DEC ($636) from rentals, the majority from my chaos legion reward cards plus 4,824 ($2,460) free SPS from airdrops also comes from the cards itself plus DEC earnings.
