Purchased 25 Copies of Kelan Gains with Vouchers at Splinterlands
Last week, together with Land 1.75, a new card purchasable by vouchers was introduced: the dual-element (dragon/death) rare magic-attack Kelan Gains.
I liked Kelan Gains since I saw it... I wish I had enough vouchers to buy enough copies to max it out, because that's when it's the most powerful, with its double strike ability added, but I didn't have.
In fact, I didn't have enough vouchers for 25 copies either, but I wanted 25 for the guaranteed GF.
My initial plan was to wait until I had enough vouchers through daily airdrops. but I'd have to wait over 2 months for that. Once I figured out the math, I didn't like that potentiality. For once, I might even forget to buy it, then, it might get replaced (although with the launch of Conclave Arcana, that's unlikely), plus the price may drop once many more get purchased. This is why I kind of regret not buying a Validator License at the right time, to get a ton of vouchers...
With these things in mind, I decided to buy 25 Kelan Gains cards now, instead of waiting.
I needed 280 more vouchers, and bought them with around 26.5 SWAP.HIVE. Now, I intend to get that HIVE back... which I wouldn't have to if I had all the vouchers.
So, why 25? Because I would have gotten a guaranteed GF, which I did. And 24 RF. So, I wasn't extra lucky to receive another GF. 😀
On the market a Kelan Gains GF is almost 16$, so to recoup my HIVE I need to sell my GF. I wouldn't have done this if I had all the vouchers, and would have kept the GF for my main play deck. But that is the situation.
Also, my idea was to upgrade the cards to level 2, where they pick up Phase ability, which I did. I ended up with 3x level 2 Kelan Gains, and 4x level 1s. I decided to put on the market the level 1s too, but not at the cheapest price, just in case. I guess I'd be ok either if they get sold at that price or if I keep them, although they are not enough to combine.
Interesting! Turns out one of my RF copies was already sold - which I had set at a slightly higher than market price - but not the GF one.
Did you buy any Kelan Gains copies? I admit I like this card more than the previous choices I could buy with my vouchers, where I bought - if I did - fewer copies, more as a collector than for their usefulness. Too bad it picks up its best ability at max level.

I'm using my vouchers to pay for the Wild Tax,
When it comes down to cards as a Wild/survival player, I'm only really buying cards directly from the market if possible at Max level and at a nice discount. The card price gap between new and old cards for me is just too big to justify it. Nice you are happy with your gold foil! The card surely looks nice but is also adding to the power creep problem.
That's probably a good use of Vouchers. I'll have to check if at my current SPS stake I have enough in a season to do that or if I'd need to buy more. Anyway, seems like a good idea! Thanks.
Generally, you are right! But every once in a while, the opposite happens, with specific cards, or at certain periods in the market.
It used its purpose. To sell it to recover the initial investment, and more.
That seems unavoidable, in a game sustained my continuous selling of new (sets of) cards. However, with enough additional game modes, things could be mitigated, at least to a degree.
I decided to just buy 1 BCX of this card. It's not the best, but I thought having it incase I need it. I think that I might have to use it when Chaos Legion gets removed from modern.
At 1 BCX it's not great, it's true. I wished I had more vouchers to upgrade it more. Who knows, if it turns out to be a good card, I might buy more of them in the future...
I had just 112 vouchers and unfortunately I thought I actually had more. So it means I can only get one BCX and regrettably this is what I got. Congratulations on that GF, seems like the decision actually paid off. Selling it would recoup the investment
Yeah... I thought I had more vouchers too... My first idea was to buy 20 BCX with the vouchers I had, but then I saw at 25 BCX we have a guaranteed GF, so I wanted that. Let's hope it isn't going to be a race to the bottom with the prices. It's a good card, but I still want my HIVE back, lol.
Lol I guess if you want your Hive back, you're going to have to take profit at some point. It's all about the profit at the end of the day
Smart move going for the guaranteed GF. The double strike at max level is a bit brutal. Hope the prices hold up so you can get your HIVE back without too much hassle
Yes, but it is possibly weak to magic reflect if someone expects it, even if it has enough life at max level.
Hope so too!
nice one you're very experienced
I like this card too, seems a very good deal and usable...
Speaking of, I'm gonna buy a copy now
Use it well!
I will have to wait I miss 25 vouchers
I try buy one card. But i dont think its much use, need to at least get it to level 5 !
At least level 2 is probably necessary. Level 6 is better, because it picks up another +1 to magic attack. Max level is probably ideal for this card, because of the double strike.
