I've been playing Splinterlands (aka Steem Monsters) blockchain Trading Card Game for about a month now and in that time I've accumulated a small collection of Gold Foil edition cards. I have a few gold foil cards that I have borrowed from other people, mostly summoners. It was hard to get a good image of just the ones I personally own. The image above was my best effort. Just take that gold foil Divine Healer out of there (it's borrowed) and replace it with a gold foil Zintar Mortalis and then you'll know which ones I've got.

Now my dilemma is what to do with these cards. I could sell them, but when I look at the Zintar Mortalis card I see there are only 374 of them in circulation. I could probably get $8 for it fairly quickly but if I believe the game will continue to get more popular (which I do) that is going to be considered cheap for the card. On the other hand, I only use a few of these gold foil cards. The option to rent out cards for a passive income is now available, however the going rate is super cheap. At current rates it would take more than a year to earn $8 renting out the Zintar Mortalis card. Still, that's not too bad, considering I get the money and still get the card back afterwards.

Another possibility is that I could rent enough additional gold foil cards and then use them to enter the gold foil only tournaments. I don't really think I've got enough of a base to build from at this point. What would you do? I think I'll try taking a few of these that I don't use on the market for rental and see how that goes. I'll report back with my experience.

As I understand, Dark Energy Crystals will be rewarded in gameplay, with bonus DEC for playing with Gold Foil cards.
Depending on the level of your other cards it might be worth selling some golds, in order to level up others to the point you can play with the golds instead of your regulars; acquiring more DEC. Hard call, man :)

Ah, right! I do remember hearing something about that now that you mention it. I think I'll just hold onto them for now. I set up the Zintar for renting out but then I cancelled it. HODL ALL THE CARDS! hahaha
