The forces of Splinterlands are actively exploring Praetoria, the land expansion from the next phase of the NFT trading card game. Land plots have been bought, hodled, claimed and now finally surveyed. Land lords are prepairing their best monsters for becoming workers - the older their edition and higher their rarity and level, the better their production points. This makes maxed Alpha cards the first choice to board the ships and sail to Praetoria. But how many Alpha cards are there actually and how many Production Points will they have in total?
I have crunched the numbers and manually entered all Alpha set cards into a spreadsheet. In this post I present the potential maximum of maxed Alpha cards, as well as the total Alpha PP.
Keep in mind that there are still 6,171 unoped Alpha packs in circulation so the following numbers can grow slightly over time.

There can only be 2,312 land plots with 5 maxed Alpha workers each (in reality, there could be more land plots working with lower level monster workers). That means that only 1.54% of all land plots can ever have 5 maxed Alpha workers. This is pretty crazy and begs the question of how this will impact the Alpha cards in circulation when Land 1.5 starts.
It is possible that the vast majority of Alpha cards will sail to Praetoria and never return.
The total of 134,263,853 total Production Points from the Alpha set needs now the comparison to the other edition sets, to unveil its true significance.
But this is a story that shall be told another day.
