Gold Foil Cards Announced

Well, if you were anywhere near @steemmonsters today you know that gold foil cards were announced today! And because @aggroed and @yabapmatt really thought this through, everyone who purchased packs earlier received a distribution of gold foil cards relative to their current stake. I know, but let's be honest, stake is the right word here.

And yeah, I got a few gold. I was one of the first lucky 21 to get a legendary gold.

As of right now, that count is up to 25. An infinitesimal number compared to the ever expanding inventory of @steemmonsters cards. How small? We have the data now so let's see.

Collection Explorer

Jump in and take a look at your collection in the collection explorer. I've got the display correctly showing the gold image for your card, and it also shows the 'G-' style UID.

The filter didn't fall into place right away and I was focused on more important things so that will be added separately. For now, the gold cards are visible within your collection at least.

Lifetime Stats

I've added a new menu for lifetime stats. I've been looking at daily drop rates, but I realized it'd be interesting to see the lifetime figures.

Lifetime Drop Rates by Rarity

I've summarized the drop rates by rarity over the entire collection of cards. This is real-time and continually updated as new packs are generated.

One important caveat I've realized while building this is that these figures are pull rates from the original purchase and DO NOT reflect later combines. These figures are percentages of the 'original' inventory, not the 'current' inventory. I have all the combine_result data and removed cards, so this is another area I'll explore further.

Gold Drop Rates

The first thing that came to my mind when the gold foil cards were announced was the drop rates. I was excited to see I was already capturing gold cards from new packs, but all the card_award operations for the distribution for prior purchases were still sitting in the block chain waiting. The wait is over!

Gold Lifetime Drop Rates

So, the gold foil cards are a bit more rare than I expected, which is awesome!

You may have noticed that a gold common is more rare than a standard legendary, which makes sense. This definitely adds a whole new level of rarity and excitement to the game.

I'm not gonna lie, I can hardly handle the fact that I have one of only 0.0083% gold legendaries. That's 1 out of over 12,000 cards, or nearly $5,000 USD worth of packs.

And no, it's not for sale! ;)

Gold Daily Drop Rates

Right now, this chart is sort of nonsense. All the data from the first day is obviously skewed since the entire inventory was just created. There's a little bit of data for the second day but this report won't be very useful for at least a week.

Share your golds!

What'd you get? And have you pulled any in new packs? I think that's probably the most exciting, since these all just suddenly appeared in our accounts.

Let us all know what you're seeing in the new gold @steemmonsters universe.
