So I've had this idea for a while now... I even sent it to @yabapmatt back in January 2024.

*Note: Some of things I said above have been changed. Keep reading. :)

Save Chaos?

Yes yes, nobody wants to save Chaos. Let's just let it sail into the wild sunset and out of modern and move on.

But wait.... What if I told you there was a better way?

AND we can burn some DEC in the process.

And if the math makes sense then why not?

Why Save Chaos?

I strongly believe that having Chaos packs selling at $0.30 and under is severely hurting the entire ecosystem. And yes, I know that getting in new players solves everything... but to me that seems like too passive of a solution. Also, I don't love the idea that new players may come in and see how affordable Chaos Legion is, buy them up, then realize that Chaos is shifting out of modern in the next 6-12 months - that's not how we get lifelong players.

How?

We would have a one time 30 day burn event that would allow players to burn Chaos Legion Core/Promo cards and packs to summon these great giants to work on land.
*Note: Only Chaos Legion Core/Promo Cards would be allowed. Chaos Legion Rewards cards and Riftwatchers would be excluded.

Introducing the Land Giants

In short these massive Land Giants will not be great in battles, however, they will shine on land. These common cards will give a % bonus to your plot of land.

Each level (1-10) that the card is upgraded gives that percent boost (similar to a totem, but they also add extra PP).

For example:

A level 1 Land Giant (1 BCX) will give 1% boost to your land plot when staked on it.
A level 7 Land Giant (150 BCX) will give 7% boost to your land plot when staked on it.
A level 10 Land Giant (400 BCX) will give 10% boost to your land plot when staked on it.

Fire: Surt The Giant

Water: Aegir The Giant

Earth: Ymir The Giant

Death: Draugr the Giant

Life: Mimir The Giant

Dragon: Angr The Giant

How will it work?

*Please don't get stuck on the numbers. I'm trying to use a general ballpark for an MVP of this idea. Everything would likely be adjusted. Also, I would like that during this event all of the Land Giants will be soulbound during the 30 days that the sale is live. Once the event is over, then all Land Giants will be unlocked and can be sold and traded.

You can only mint one of these giants by burning the same element as the giant (plus 1000 DEC per 400 BCX or 2.5 DEC per 1 BCX). For example you will need to burn a Chaos Legion Core/Promo Fire card to mint Surt the Giant.

1,100 Common Cards + 1,000 DEC would be burned to mint 1 max (400 BCX) copy of Surt the Giant

• Also note that Surt the Giant will only give a bonus to specific terrain types (Badlands, Caldera, Canyon, Desert, and Mountain). All of the other giants will follow the same minting and bonus rules as Surt does for Fire.

400 Rare Cards + 1,000 DEC would be burned to mint 1 max (400 BCX) copy of Aegir the Giant

80 Epic Cards + 1,000 DEC would be burned to mint 1 max (400 BCX) copy of Ymir the Giant

20 Legendary Cards + 1,000 DEC would be burned to mint 1 max (400 BCX) copy of Draugr the Giant

You can burn 20 Chaos Legion Packs + 2,500 DEC to mint ANY of the Land Giants.

What will the impact be?

There are too many variables to know the exact impact, but I can give some examples.

*SOURCE: SPLINTERCARDS.COM

There are 150,000 plots in Praetoria. If land owners wanted one land giant for each of their plots you're looking at about 150,000,000 DEC burned + 165,000,000 common cards (which obviously there isn't that many common cards).

*SOURCE: SPLINTERCARDS.COM

Let's say only 10% of the land owners want a Land Giant for their plots (I'm willing to bet the number is greater than this). 15,000 plots would burn 15,000,000 DEC + 6,000,000 rare cards.

I believe we could move the needle in terms of bringing value back to Chaos Legion, while also burning DEC and getting us closer to the glorious flywheel.

FAQ

1. Why only Chaos Legion Core/Promo and not Chaos Legion Rewards Cards?

I believe this event will have the most impact on the economy as a whole with a focus on the core set + promos that people purchased. We are all aware that the bot farms printed the rewards cards to oblivion.

1. When do you expect the team to be able to get to this?

Great question. No idea. But if enough people like it then maybe we can get it figured out. I'm pretty sure we already most of the mechanics for burning and the mechanics for the land bonus.

*I will keep updating these FAQ from the comments on the post.

1. What about GF cards?

Yes, I assume we will be able to burn GF cards too, but I'm going to leave those out for now. But yes, those would add to the amount of cards burned, dec burned, and land giants minted.

1. Why do the Land Giants have Chaos Legion card frames?

Because this event is to help Chaos Legion (and then the whole economy) so I don't believe making these cards part of the Rebellion set makes sense.

1. Is this a proposal?

No. I haven't make it a proposal. I'm still working on the overall concept and feasibility.

1. Are these Land Giants real cards?

No. I made them up using AI and googled some norse mythology names. I wanted to make this post more visual to help people imagine what this could look like.

1. Why does it also cost 1,000 DEC per 400 bcx Land Giant?

Because ultimately any land owner who doesn't participate in this event will be behind in terms of production. So ultimately the brunt of this would fall on them. Land owners typically have a lot of DEC staked to land, so anything to bring DEC to peg value is a benefit to land owners.

*Full Disclosure: I currently own zero Chaos Legion packs, but I do have a maxed set, and many of these cards on some of my alt accounts.
