[ES-EN] Some tips for Beginners: Choosing cards for rent.
Una practica sana y que yo recomiendo muchisimo a los jugadores nuevos es que entren al juego rentando primero, salvo que busques solamente el beneficio economico no es lo mas correcto ir a comprar mazos de cartas. Si lo que quieres es jugar al juego, rankear en las ligas y obtener recompensas, etc, empezar primero rentando las cartas es lo mejor que puedes hacer. En este post de hoy voy a explicarte porque yo creo que esto es asi y ademas te dejare algunos tips para rentar cartas, asi que no te lo pierdas.
¡Bienvenido!
A healthy practice and one that I highly recommend to new players on Splinterlands is to enter the game by renting cards first instead of buying it, unless you are only looking for the economic benefit to speculate on them it is not the right thing to do to buy decks of cards. If what you want is to play the game, rank in the leagues and get rewards, etc, start renting the cards first is the best thing to do. In today's post I'm going to explain why I think this is the case and I'll give you some tips on how to rent cards, so don't miss it.
Welcome!
Pros y contras
Empezaré con un ejemplo de la nueva edicion Rebellion. Akane, el invocador Dragon que ahora mismo cuesta alrededor de 27$ por una carta, mientras que su precio de renta es de 11.425 DEC (ahora mismo ~$0.011). Con lo que te compras 1 BCX de Akane, la podrias alquilar por alrededor de seis años...
Y claro, comprar la carta te da beneficios que no los da rentarla, y no voy siquiera a argumentar eso, pero para efectos de esta publicacion, que estamos hablando pensando como un jugador que acaba de comenzar, no conoce el juego pero quiere competir, su primera meta TIENE que ser dominar el gameplay lo mas rapido posible.
Pros and cons
I'll start talking about this with an example from the new Rebellion edition. Akane, the Legendary Dragon summoner that right now costs around $27 for a single card, while her rental price at level 1 is 11.425 DEC (right now ~$0.011). With what you buy 1 BCX of Akane, you could rent it for about six years...
And sure, buying the card gives you benefits that renting it doesn't, and I'm not even going to argue that, but for the purposes of this post, which we're talking about thinking like a player who just started on the game, doesn't know the game but wants to compete on it, his first goal MUST be to master the gameplay as fast as possible.
Suponiendo que elegiste el formato Modern, en ese caso hacerte con ambos mazos (Chaos Legion & Rebellion) en rango bronce, que es donde inicias, te costaria unos 549$ (segun Splintercards) Y si bien no es una suma exorbitante, si es cierto que hay algo a tomar en cuenta:
- ¿Un nuevo jugador estará dispuesto a pagar casi 600$ para jugar en bronce?
Que habran jugadores que si, pues claro que los habrá, pero la mayoria no lo hará, por que no pueden o simplemente no quieren, entonces es ahi cuando aparece la opcion de rentar.
Es muchisimo mas barato, y algo muy importante, te permite aprender sobre el juego y empezar a usar esas cartas en partidas, probar sus combinaciones, cual es mejor para tal situacion, etc, sin tener que gastarte 600$.
Assuming you chose the Modern format, in that case getting both decks (Chaos Legion & Rebellion) at bronze rank, which is where you start, would cost you about $549 (according to Splintercards). And while it is not an exorbitant sum, it is true that there is something to take into account:
- Will a new player be willing to pay almost $600 to play in bronze?
There will be players that will, of course there will be, but most of them won't, because they can't or simply don't want to, so that's when the option of renting appears.
It is much cheaper, and something very important, allows you to learn about the game and start using those cards in games, test their combinations, which is better for such a situation, etc, without having to spend $600.
No juzgues a las cartas
Una carta que vale 5000$ puede ser destrozada facilmente en batalla por una que vale 10 centavos. Esto ha sido asi desde siempre asi que estas entrando al juego pensando que por comprarte todo lo caro seras top global, la realidad te va a golpear muy fuerte en la cara. La carta mas cara del juego actualmente es The Kraken y podria darte ya mismo 10 estrategias diferentes para dejar a esa carta completamente obsoleta.
¿Significa eso que la carta es mala? NO.
Lo que significa, es que el valor de las cartas tiene poco que ver con el gameplay en si y mucho si tiene que ver con la economia del juego, la escasez de cartas, su rareza, si es dorada, que tan antigua es su edicion, todas caracteristicas que en una batalla importan poco y nada. Por eso es importante conocer bien esas cartas antes de adquirirlas, y la solucion a eso es ¡BINGO! las rentas.
Don't judge the cards
A card worth $5000 on the card market can easily be destroyed in battle by a card worth 10 cents, even less. This has always been the case so if you are entering the game thinking that by buying all the expensive stuff you will be top global, the reality is going to hit you hard in the face. The most expensive card in the game right now is The Kraken and I could give you 10 different strategies to make that card completely obsolete.
Does that mean the card is bad? NO.
What it does mean is that the value of the cards has little to do with the gameplay itself and a lot to do with the economy of the game, the scarcity of cards, their rarity, if it is gold, how old is its edition, all characteristics that in a battle matter little or nothing. That is why it is important to know these cards well before acquiring them, and the solution to that is BINGO! the rentals.
Eligiendo sabiamente
Conforme vayas jugando vas a ir encontrando tu estilo de juego, que invocadores te gustan mas, con cuales tienes mejor winrate, que habilidades se te hacen mas comodas, cuales son tus favoritas, etc. Y con esa misma practica vas a ir encontrandote a ti mismo como jugador, entonces las primeras veces yo te recomiendo rentar todo lo disponible en tu formato de juego, sera un poco mas caro pero de ahi aprenderas que cartas usas, CUALES NO, un punto MUY IMPORTANTE, y con la tecnica del descarte vas a ir encontrando tu mazo especial.
Yo aplique esto mismo cuando empece a jugar, y claro que con el meta evolucionando temporalmente tienes que reinventarte, y eso es algo muy bueno pues creeme que estar un mes entero spameando el mismo mazo hasta el cansancio la verdad es que pues, eso... cansa. El juego te lleva a estar en constante evaluacion sobre tu forma de jugar y eso al final no hace mas que hacerte ser mejor jugador.
Otro consejo de oro, es que utilices Peakmonsters para rentar cartas, es mucho mas rapido que el mercado del juego y cuenta con muchos mas datos y servicios de ayuda en esta tarea, ademas, es gratis.
Choosing wisely
As you play you will find your play style, which summoners you like the most, with which you have better winrate, which skills are more comfortable, which ones are your favorites, etc. And with that same practice you will find yourself as a player, so the first few times I recommend you to rent everything available in your game format, it will be a little more expensive but from there you will learn which cards you use, which ones you don't, a VERY IMPORTANT point, and with the discard technique you will find your special deck.
I applied this strategy when I started playing, and of course with the meta evolving temporarily you have to reinvent yourself, and that's a very good thing because believe me, being a whole month spaming the same deck until you get tired of it, it's really tiring. The game leads you to be in constant evaluation of the way you play and that in the end does nothing but make you a better player.
Another golden tip from me to you is to use Peakmonsters to rent your cards, it is much faster than the game market and has much more data and services to help you in this task, besides, it is free.
Conclusiones
En este juego no existe el mazo perfecto, no existe la carta invencible, y llegar a la cima es un camino complicado, pero no te desanimes, porque CUALQUIERA puede lograrlo, solo es cuestion de proponerselo. Asi que practica mucho, aprende, pelea, juega torneos, brawls, lee posts en la comunidad de Splinterlands, todo esto te ayudara a crecer como jugador y mejorar tus estrategias, esa es la base que te hara grande en este juego.
Espero que el post te sea de ayuda y si tienes una opinion, dejala en los comentarios, estare feliz de leerla. Nos vemos en un proximo post.
