Burning cards for DEC is one of the options in the Splinterlands game. If you don’t want to bother to sell the card and wait for a buyer, you can simply burn the card for DEC. It provides a liquidity for players and reduces the cards in circulation. It’s a great future in the game.
Here we will be looking into the numbers of cards burnt per edition, ALPHA, BETA, REWARDS, PROMO and UNTAMED.
The data for the cards burnt is until January 25th, 2020.
For visibility I will include only the top 10 in each edition.

Interesting analysis. The burning makes the remaining cards more valuable and would even up values I think.
Well going forward all the cards have finite supply, and DEC no. So if you hodl that should be the case in theory :)
Interesting look at the data behind burnt cards, thanks for sharing with #battle
Nice fire :)
Thanks. I didn’t know this was an option. I wonder if there’s an arbitrage opportunity here?
