Back to collectionThe Supply Cap Does Not Undo a Burn
Background: Players could already stake cards, extract Chromos, and evolve their cards, but the burning step gave holders pause. Today: Someone worried that a burned card could never return. Impact and next steps: The explanation clarified how scarcity would arise, but it did not choose which card any holder should burn.

Background: Players could already stake cards, extract Chromos, and evolve their cards, but the burning step gave holders pause. Was an upgrade now worth giving up a card they might later wish they had kept?
Today: Someone worried that a burned card could never return. Officials explained the arithmetic again: the figure shown for each rarity was only a supply cap, and burning could only reduce the number of cards. They also expected returning players and newcomers once the game launched fully. Some in the group wanted to evolve immediately; others still wanted to understand the cost first.
Impact and next steps: The explanation clarified how scarcity would arise, but it did not choose which card any holder should burn. The return of players remained an expectation, too. The community still needed to explain the difference between a supply cap, the number of cards actually remaining, and an irreversible burn, so that “fewer means rarer” would not be mistaken for a promise that every evolution was worthwhile.
