So what exactly are all those cards doing? How much they are affecting the game? How this DOGE one actualy performs vs. other ones? Totaly unclear but people are still buying like cards are cheap. When compared to let's say MTG cards all I'm seeing here are card name, picture, some flavour text (does not affect gameplay at all) and some sort of mana symbol on the left and that's it. I realy don't see how can a game be of good quality or attract major interest if cards are doing pretty much nothing.

[mamamae]

Nope the cards matters even a not so good deck let me easily make almost half the game
, the starter Deckin the game with only free card
with card as FDcard and shapeshiftcard for example almost any level is a walk in the park and with gemzcard there is an hidden level

[jrmg]

From last card we can see there is only 24 users who buy cards

Please keep in mind that some people got TALISMANCARD distributed directly to them because they purchased cardpackages during the Black Friday sale, as will again be the case with the upcoming DOGECOINCARD and also there is not necessarily a 1:1 correspondence between number of addresses and actual users buying cards.

[mamamae]

Yeah no correlation , there are almost 120 address just only partner + premium stores
so , pretty sure  at least 90 people will buy when the Card price will jump another 200 % BTC

Hi SISAR

Thank you for your interest in Spells of Genesis.
It's true the cards actually don't disclose exactly their effect. But you can by the way look at https://sogassets.com/ you have the exact power the cards actually have in SOG.
If we don't disclose the capacity in the announcement it's for 2 reasons

1. The cards are or will be playable in two different game (SOG and Moonga) and even more in the future. We will open the ability for people to use the assets and the image in their own game. Having that in mind the true value of card is the sum of their use the different games. So in the annoucement should we show Moonga ability of SOG ?
 In that case it's really their scarcity that define their value. A card that exist in 200 pieces is more rare by essence and more powerful than a card distributed in 20'000 pieces.

example of a card announcement and in Moonga




2. We define capacity and value for SOG. But the game is still in progress and we might change and wipe all capacity as we progress and balance the game. So we don't want to market a card as extremely powerful and have it buffed later on.

Overall what I find very interesting personally with those is comparing to other digital game is the asset is not about it's single use in only one game. Since it's blockchain the asset can be used for anything it's value comes from its essence as well the image and what it represents. The will be alive as long as bitcoin blockchain is alive. I hope in 100 years SOG will not be used anymore of course but the blockchain cards will be still there and representing a part of the genesis of technology. Those cards like satoshi, doge, battle for blocksize... will still be there as a witness of the incredible journey blockchain was going trough at the very beginning and even being used in future games or products.

@explorer17, the swapbot you posted may have unintended results - it is not recommended to list more than one card for sale for the same type of token in the same swapbot. I.e. if someone sends BITCRYSTALS to your swapbot, they will be dispensed ALL the cards that are listed for sale in exchange for BCY. I suggest you only list one of the cards for sale in BCY to avoid this problem.

So no new card for tomorrow. Is the new normal a card pipeline that works from partner/premium store (new cards) to pubblic store (old card went pubblic)?

In practices just 1 brand new card a week?

@Viva! you can find the schedule of cards that were first offered to the Partner store that are to be released to the public store by looking at each card´s swapbot. You can find the list of which cards were released to the Partner store here:

http://bitcrystals.com/store

You can see the cards marked "Partner Store" are currently only available to partners. If you click on the label, you will be taken to the corresponding swapbot where the date for public release of the card is indicated. Currently next in line after CARDAUGUR (Dec 10) is CARDASTEMA which is to be released to the public on Dec 22, followed by CARDAIRBITZ (Dec 29) and DOGECOINCARD (Jan 5). Starting in the second week of December, all cards are to be released first to the Partner store, and then either to the public or the premium store. As was mentioned in the below cited post, there will be no more direct releases to the public store.

I understand and know it.

But I have to ask you again:

 Can we expect just 1 new brand card a week and not the ususal 2?

Someone from SoG would have to clarify that for you, like @yodark or @hnin. We are currently already in the second week of december so if the schedule mentioned in this announcement https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=957797.msg12965717#msg12965717 will be applied as expected, then next week no more new cards should be issued directly to the public, but rather only to the partner store and Partners would be free to resell those new cards to the public. However, SoG staff would have to tell you if perhaps they will have one last card issued next week directly to the public, as no cards that were previously offered in the partner store are due to be released to the public next week.

[mamamae]

Great the confirmation is in this :

"Premium Store hold specific cards that large public cannot access"
but the problem is the discount i see is only for partner store
i had already access to premium store as player
and i obtained access to the partner store on black friday
so  exactly when my discount will start ?
Well this is direct to yodark if kindly can elaborate.

You will get a refund sent to your partner address after the purchase, I got mine yesterday for cards I previously bought.
The team can also clarify this better.

Hi Viva,

thanks for your question.

We'll announce another new card, to be released tomorrow, today. So there'll be two new cards, as usual.

Hi,

what heunland says is exact: no more new cards to be released directly to the public. All new cards are now released at the Partner Store first, and one month later at the Public or Premium Store (the dates of the Public or Prmeium Store release are to be found at the Partner Store swapbots).
