As many of you know, today is the much awaited pack sale of Blitz's first card set - the 1st Edition Base Set that harkens back to the original Pokémon format. Blitz stuck to physical trading card game roots and essentially recreated a physical trading card game on the Ergo blockchain without any of the BS that's typical in the blockchain space. I hope you follow along with us as we continue to develop the game, hop into playtest events, and try to collect as many cards as you can!
Collection Competition: the first person to prove to me that they've collected / unlocked all 152 cards will receive 100 ERG and 500 RSN. This isn't meant to be a huge payout, but something fun to aim for if you will be buying / selling cards to try to collect them all! Please use Discord for this.
Pack Opening Stream: tonight starting at ~10:30 CST:
Reminders:
-
You can purchase packs in ERG or SigUSD. Pack prices are $5, $10, and $15 for the Common, Uncommon, and Rare packs, respectively. BLTZ will eventually be supported for pack purchases once the burn contract is live, assuming they do not sell out before then (BLTZ tokens are only generated when cards are burned, there is no pre-mine or anything like that).
-
If you decide to open your packs, you will receive 5 card tokens per pack. You can view the rarity distributions for your self here if you so choose:
-
Once 25,000 TOTAL packs are sold, the sale will close permanently. For example, 10k Common, 10k Uncommon, and 5k Rare packs could sell and that will cause the sale to close. All excess packs will be burned.
-
In several months, Cardano and Nervos will have a similar allocation of 1st Edition packs sold with the same exact rarity distributions and process.
-
Depending on success, an Unlimited Edition run of these same packs and cards will be printed - just like in Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, etc. The Unlimited Edition cards will be grayscale and be overall less appealing than the 1st Edition cards in-game and on the blockchain.
-
The Burn Contract should be live in a few weeks after launch, which will allow you to burn excess cards for a set amount of BLTZ tokens. After a total number of cards are burned, a halving mechanism kicks in and reduces the rewards for all cards, sort of like how ERG and BTC rewards work.
-
You do not need to make a Blitz account to buy packs - you will only need to connect your wallet.
Otherwise - happy hunting, selling, collecting, and eventually - playing!
