I am happy with the introduction of Survival Mode because it introduces **new use cases for Splinterlands cards**. Survival Mode will be useful to restore game value especially to cards of old editions because all cards from all collections can be used in Survival mode as in Wild Format. ## + Game Modes = + Fun = + Use cases for cards and tokens. Survival Mode could produce two positive effects: - new interest in buying and renting cards - new incentive to own cards in multiple copies in order to play in multiple game modes at once. I will finally be able to use in play my Beta and Untamed cards that I have not used in a long time because I do not like to play them manually in Wild Format against bots and because I have tried to assign them to XBOT for four seasons in Wild Format but have ended all seasons at a loss because of the cost of the Wild Pass that has always exceeded the seasonal gains in SPS tokens. ||Post Link: [4 Seasons of Using XBOT in the Wild Format: Results, Considerations and My Next Steps](https://peakd.com/hive-146620/@libertycrypto27/4-seasons-of-using-xbot-in-the-wild-format-results-considerations-and-my-next-steps-my-results-and-my-fun-game-activity-in-the-modern-format-engita-4vd)| |-|-| To prepare for the new game mode today I removed from the rental market all my Beta and Untamed cards that did not have an active rental. This way I will have a greater number of cards to use in Survival Mode.  I also made a selection of cards of the Chaos legion and Rebellion sets that I use very little in Modern Format and that I could use in Survival Mode because if they were to go into cooldown they would not affect my game results in Modern Format.  I really like the idea behind Survival Mode and I am glad that there will be a new game mode to use cards of all editions. However, I personally don't like the choice of allowing bots and battle helpers in the Survival Mode because in my humble opinion any new game mode should be designed first to ensure the enjoyment of human players who want to play only against human players and then for those who like to use bots.  Screenshot from: [Introducing Splinterlands Survival Mode](https://peakd.com/hive-13323/@splinterlands/introducing-splinterlands-survival-mode) I am an active player on Splinterlands and have enjoyed playing manually in the Modern Format every day for more than 5 years.  The new Survival Mode will be a game mode that I will play manually as long as there are no bots. Probably in the survival mode there will be no bots for a few days. In the first few days I will play manually then I will use XBOT which will release the feature to play in Survival Mode soon.
