RE: Dragon violence with Bloodlust!

Yes they will still be playable in Wild and also in certain brawl frays and tournaments. It's why I have more than 1 account, my older cards are played by a bot (only allowed in Wild) so they can still earn for me.
Hopefully some day, there will be a wild mode for human players only, that would be awesome.

And yes a year is a long time but with everything in Splinterlands, there are so many choices we just have to think about. It could be better to get Conclave Arcana cards but every card is unique and has its own strengths and it also depends on the cost.
