It's the second consecutive Bitcoin Halving event that is celebrated by Splinterlands with a promo card, or in this case, two. Yes, it's a way for the company to raise some funds, but it is dedicated to Bitcoin Halving, and these events will remain immortalized in the history of Splinterlands with some cards that will be relatively scarce, especially when combined.
They also remind us of the halving event in various ways. For example, the promo card for the previous Bitcoin halving, the epic Halfling Alchemist reminds us of the event both through its name and through its ability, "halving", which cuts the attack of an opponent that is hit in half the first time you hit them.
The promo cards for this Bitcoin Halving event also have the same ability and their price per BCX reminds us of the block reward on the Bitcoin network after halving.
From the announcement post:
Baron Fyatt will cost 31,250 (31.25k) DEC/Credits and the Henchling Enforcer will cost 3,125 (3.125k) DEC/Credits for a single (1 BCX) card. The cost is meant to commemorate the new Bitcoin block reward after the halving of 3.125 BTC.
I don't know if any or many maxis would be interested in playing Splinterlands but as collectors of the assets dedicated to their Bitcoin Halvings, either purchased directly from Splinterlands or the 3rd party markets, why not?
Maybe if these Bitcoin Ordinals don't die off, for the next Bitcoin Halving, Splinterlands could have the halving promo card(s) on their own chain, much like Runi on Ethereum, if they seem interested.
I wouldn't expect a marketing budget to be used to target maxis for this event. More like this being mentioned in their circles by people who are regulars there, if they feel it would help.
I believe something like this would help even more if it was a burning event, but this is how things turned out and a little revenue for the company helps too.
What do you think? Would some Bitcoin maxis be interested in holding the Bitcoin Halving promo cards from Splinterlands in their collections as reminders of the halvings of their favorite chain? This means reaching out to the more open maxis to the wider crypto community.

It's a good way to pick what interests you.

I love the Halfling Alchemist and these 2 new cards look like they will be pretty powerful and a low mana cost compared to Arkemis. I don't think Maxi's would be interested if their opinion on Ordinals are anything to go by! Lol.
I have picked this post on behalf of the @OurPick project! Check out our Reading Suggestions posts!
Please consider voting for our Liotes HIVE Witness. Thank you!
I like them too. It's good that they only reused the Halving ability once (I wouldn't have reused it at all except on these promos).
That's possible. But you never know until you hit the brick wall, lol.
Very true, it is not a very common ability.
I don't think I will buy any but the cards are decent. The halving ability can be quite powerful but I just don't think a lot of people will bite right now. They might be waiting for the market to pump more first and that might depend on how BTC moves.
The market will often be about the same around Bitcoin halvings. It's just a matter of trying to work with what you have and maximize/increase its potential reach.

I love to buy this cards, but I'm still collecting fund to level up at least to the second level one of this Promo card.
Good luck with getting enough DEC/credits and VOUCHERs for a second-level promo card. I assume you want the legendary one?
I haven't enough token for the legendary
My collection will do with the second one.
Thank you
Yeah, I'll probably go with the rare one too.
I don't know any maxis, but I can get your idea. There are collectors that will want to buy anything related to what they like. Sometimes the more obscure it is the better since their fellow maxis might not have them. Since the sales will go to the team, it wouldn't hurt them to try and look for maxis.
That was my initial thinking. But we have to consider that Bitcoin maxis in particular are quite dismissive of anything that is not Bitcoin. So, it's a stretch, but you never know until you try it. If it doesn't cost money and it's not a great deal of a distraction, I don't see why not...
Yeah, the worst could probably be a no, but the upside could be additional sales.
Well, the worst could be a no, wasted time and money. 😀 Hopefully, that doesn't happen.
Anyone who hears about splinterlands will be interested. There are so many BTC OGs that are looking for where to throw their money. I myself will love these promo cards me self, just that I cannot afford them .
I don't know. Depends on the Maxi. Many of them are hard to convince that anything else in crypto is worth something. But some are more malleable.
If you don't have any card with the "halving" ability I suggest you at least buy 1 BCX of the rare one, which has the ability at level 1. It's sometimes worth it, and it doesn't cost so much. That's all I have from the Halfling Alchemist too, 1 BCX.
At this point, buying a Rebellion cards makes sense than older generation cards, I bought one BCX of Moxian Rebel for almost $2, so yeah, I'll just check out the cost of the second Rebellion card in $
Yep, that sounds good. The price for older cards is higher and newer cards can be used in both Modern and Wild.
Hmm, like most cards, I think it will be cheaper to buy these cards off the 3rd party market after some time. So I will wait. Of course I could be wrong hahaha!
It is possible, given the period we go through. However, I purchased my Halfling Alchemist at a higher price from the market than from Splinterlands, after a while. So, I guess it remains to be seen.
Hello, @gadrian. Good post on "Idea: Mention Splinterlands Bitcoin Halving Promo Cards to the Maxis?" I will have to read this again to understand completely. But I think this is about helping the Splinterlands company, correct? Thank you. Barb 😊 !BBH !CTP
The funds from the promo card sales are revenue for the company, yes.
Thank you @gadrian. 😊
