Words from Wizards with Matt: Land!

Land - Overview
- It's a second game within Splinterlands
- The old cards work to produce the new cards
- Players can mint their own cards - no other card game has done this
- Empowers the players
Land Proposal
- Whether or not there should be an option to spend DEC or DEC-B to get better resources on land when surveying goes live
Land key characteristics
- 4 Rarities
- 14 Land Types
- Land Categories:
- Natural
- Magical
- Occupied
Buildings
- On each land plot you can construct one building
- All buildings will have storage
- One of the types of buildings you will be able to build is an arena
- If you build an arena - that's where the ranked battles will take place and you will earn reward shares
Production
- You will need to put the monster and summoner cards to work on the land
- Up to 5 cards per plot (subject to change)
- Encourage the combining of cards
- The older cards will be valuable to use on land
- The newer cards will be valuable at higher levels too
- You will need to stake DEC in order for your cards to come to life to work on the land
- The DEC will come from burning SPS
Items and spell cards
- Still quite a while away
- The product that your business will make from your land production
- Most people don't have land and will need these cards
Land will also open up prefix name titles
- You can earn titles through differnt goals and objectives
Eventually there will be a competition between the territories to unlock the secret of Praetoria
- When it is completed there will be an airdrop
There will be leaderboards for land
Castles and Keeps
- Can have sub buildings that can be upgraded
- Castle and Keep owners can just sit back and collect benefits
- Everyone can contribute to upgrading in case the owner is MIA
- The more you contribute, the more you will benefit
Resources
Natural
Magical
Occupied Essences
There will also be Refined resources
- For example, you can combine the grain with the essences to create sustenance so that your workers can keep producing
Runi
- A special type of worker
- One runi per plot
- Will give you significant benefits on your plot
Final thoughts - You will need a large amount of DEC and high level cards if you want a powerhouse land business

It all sounds good other than lands using only '5' monsters each.
That number to me doesn't sound future-proof, at all.
I suggest 999999999 with diminishing returns.

They also said that the higher the lvl of the monster the more beneficial it will be.
So you will most probably need lvl 10 commons, which are 400 cards x 5 monster = 2000 cards.
Yaba said in the town hall that there are not enough cards to make every land perfect.
2000 commons as an upper bound is nothing. There's like 8 million of each of the recent reward commons, 125k of their gold foils, millions of each rare, etc. and that's before even considering other sets like CL/RW or the hundreds of millions of other cards that will inevitably be printed in the future. Having only 5 slots per land would be completely absurd. I need a reason to buy another 500k cards, not a reason to start dumping them.
I truly don't understand why they decided it was best to subdivide a Hexagonal shape with Rectangles. Triangles or smaller Hexagons seems more logical to me.
Excellent AMA heaps of cool stuff! Think the title of Emperor would fit quite nicely 😀
