The recent announcement of the upcoming survival game mode has already made an impact on the card market. There were hints of what survival mode was going to be about in recent town halls, Discord talks, and other social media. But despite this, the market was still slow to react and only a few players prepared ahead of time.

It took a few days to see some reactions after the announcement, but when it started to pick up, there was a surge of price increase among key Chaos Legion cards. Astral Entity for example was formerly trading at around the $2 range. It spiked up to around $7 when there was a sudden demand for cards. Aside from key cards, summoners also became popular as players will need multiple copies of it during survival mode more than the monster cards.

Meanwhile, the Chaos Legion pack itself also saw some price appreciation during this time. I also bought a couple of packs to open. And this has also reminded me of how rare gold foils were. Out of 32 that I opened, I only got a handful of common and rare gold foils. I was not expecting a gold legendary, but I also didn't get an epic one.

My Plan Going Forward
As a casual player with only 13,000 SPS to my name and a handful of land plots, I chose not to join the Chaos Legion hype, at least not for now. I think this trend will not be sustainable in the following months since the release of survival mode is still far away. I expect some players to lose interest and sell their assets long before that happens. The bull market wave will also probably start first in other blockchain projects before it hits Splinterlands. When that happens, some would opt to sell their assets at a loss in order to chase those opportunities.

What I'm eyeing right now are cheap land plots for my region, Saragar. Also, I plan to use gold Chaos Legion cards as my workers in the future. And while legendary gold foils are way out of my budget, some epics, rares, and even commons may be useful to me. But we'll see how it all turns out in the coming months.
