SERIES D · THE ALPHA · FIRST SHOWN LIVE ON MCG · NOTHING HERE IS A MINT

The Trench Lords.

100 officer cards. Six trenches at war, one war a week, and every holder on the chain fights whether they own a card or not. Everything below is a simulation of the real contracts.

burned into this card · 0 BUCKET rank 3x / 6x

Every roll below uses the real contract odds. The Golden Lord, the five Relics and the Holos are hidden from this sandbox. Someone has to mint them.

The Trench War WEEKLY

simulated week

Wars are won by BURNS: open reinforcements plus Lord burns at 20x weight, officers capped at 49% of the score. Riders' accrual only breaks ties. The winner is Featured at UP TO 2x for every rider all next week; a giant trench dilutes its own prize, so the double weeks live in the small trenches.

The chase

Rolled AT MINT from block randomness, quota-guaranteed: exactly these counts exist by mint 100, and no one, including us, knows where they land until each mint does. Nothing is precomputable, nothing is snipeable.

1 GOLDEN LORD 5 RELIC 1-OF-1s 2 HOLO FOILS 2 VAULT BACKDROPS

All cosmetic. Every Lord earns identically: fairness is mechanical, variety is visual.

The terms, as the contracts enforce them

Supply	100 Lords, one mint, never again
Earning	3x base on a 1,000,000 BUCKET cap. Four times the Series C cap.
Ascension	Burn 25k / 75k / 150k BUCKET to climb 4x / 5x / 6x. Permanent. Supply gone forever.
Trench	Rolled at mint, permanent. Nobody drafts an army; you buy Lords from holders or you roll.
Holder window	48 hours · 0.15 ETH with any Series A/B/C card · ONE discount per wallet · 60 of 100 reserved
Public	0.25 ETH
The prize	Winner multiplier = min(2x, 1 + 0.33/share). Small trenches win DOUBLE weeks; a giant trench dilutes its own prize; non-winners never lose more than ~25% of a week.
Officer cap	Lord burns count 20x but never more than 49% of a trench's score. Generals cannot win without an army.
Dynasty tax	The defending champion fights the next week at 75% score. The crown moves.
Ceiling	A maxed Lord is 6M effective stake. Below the Series C 30x one-of-one's 7.5M, forever. The crown is never for sale again.
Collective cap	All cards of every series together are capped at 25% of each epoch. Plain wallets always keep at least 75%.
Mint revenue	60% permanently locked into LP (no withdrawal path exists) · 0.06 ETH per mint market-buys BUCKET and delivers it to the minter's wallet · remainder Treasury
Series C perk	Socket a C to a Lord: that C boosts on 500k instead of 250k
The war	Weekly, decided by burns. Winner is Featured at up to 2x for every rider (small trenches win double, giants self-dilute). Only wallets in the trench when the week started ride the boost. Medals engrave on Lord cards forever.

Full disclosure, the way we always do it

Randomness: trench, character, backdrop, finish and the grails roll at mint from block randomness (prevrandao), the same disclosed tradeoff every Buckethead opening draw has used. Grails are quota-drawn, so exactly one Golden and five Relics exist by mint 100.
All rarity is cosmetic. Every Lord earns identically: 3x base, 1M cap, same ladder. Fairness is mechanical, variety is visual.
Burns are real burns. Ascension and reinforcements transfer BUCKET to the dead address in the same transaction. No contract ever holds war funds; there is nothing to drain and no unlock day.
Anti-herding: the winner's boost pays only wallets already elected to that trench when the week began.
Wars are auditable. Every week's full six-trench score table is published on chain in the finalization event; scoring inputs (burn events, the payout ledger) are public.
Art is on chain. Character art lives in contract storage, the card is drawn by the renderer at view time, and the art store locks forever after the cast is written.
Series C is untouched. C's rates and caps never change; socketing a C to a Lord is purely additive (+250k cap on that C).
Weekly Show transition: when the Lords go live, the provable hash draw retires and the war decides Featured. Until that day the current 1.25x draw runs exactly as published.
