RE: Can you afford the Waka Spiritblade?
This promotion is interesting on many levels (and I don't think I am the biggest fan), but it definitely helped show that listening to the team does a lot - they said you need Vouchers; and Vouchers were needed. Whoever listened got a nice flip opportunity to 2,5x whatever they invested.
On Waka's strength, I think it is a fairly weak summoner. In high mana battles it is way weaker than more expensive summoners, while in low-mana battles the game ends fast enough that Poison might either not get applied at all, or simply get one tick off - which isn't that great. Taunt units also counter it quite hard.

Interesting point. I'm fascinated to see how it functions in gameplay tbh. There are way too many variables to consider right now. I mean, in mid-range battles 27-40 mana cap, it could also be a game-changer.
It can also be devastating if used in back to basics. Also, Melee mayhem ruleset might also favour this summoner. We'll see how it goes though.
It is an ambitious move tbh. When my friend that doesn't know anything about SPlinterlands saw it on whatsapp he said "Another celeb trying to scam a cryto community" or something like that. We'll see how it goes though
I am glad to see they do a lot to try and market the game - but the Promo card is very disconnected from what they want the promo itself to achieve (extreme exclusivity + only max level vs getting new players) and lately celeb crypto promotions are getting huge backlash all around.
As for Waka, yeah it seems very situational, great to have, but luckily not powerful enough for those who are missing him to feel awful - just like it should be with such an exclusive card in a game that wants to be competitive.
