The creative team had previously shown only an image of a mysterious alien substance and asked the community to guess what it was. As the market quieted over the weekend, players wanted to know what purpose it might serve in the card game.
BTC was near USD 21,000, and volatility had fallen to its lowest point of the year. The creative team showed several states of the substance and said they would be used to evolve cards. Some players began discussing the order of the changes shown; others worried that striking visuals might make the rules harder to grasp.
The images turned the substance from a visual riddle into a clue about gameplay, but they did not explain how players would use it. The team still needed to make the evolution process understandable to newcomers. The community now had a more specific question than what to call the substance.
