View from noob
During surfing Internet and looking info about blockchain i found info about this game.
in former times i was close to top 300 players in Hearthstone, so i decide come and destroy everyone in Splinterlands . Play and earn, dreams come true
But .... whooops
Cant do nothing without spellbook
Okey, 10$ not much
Now i will complete daily questions and farm cards and coins
Like a Rocky
I make small deposit, but i cant buy card packs , they are "Sold out" , 1 rare card cost 4-5$ and give only 20 power. I need to collect 1000 power to start earning crumbs of DEC .
So now I'm not sure what to dive headlong in Splinterlands is what i want.
I like gameplay, animations, blockchain features, but strong pay-to-play component is repulsive
Im between to buy useless cards with great $/power rate, or buy really useful cards and forget about 1k power.
Even in hearthstone i was able to do 2-3 cheap decks and fight with strongest opponents, i understand so its not same, but i feel so i have no progress in Splinterlands during playing .
Greetings with any advice
P.S. English not my native, sorry for poor speech
Hello! I recommend you take a look at card rentals. It's not that expensive to get started that way, some cards you can rent for 0.1 DEC a day, others will be a bit more expensive if you go for epic or legendary, but still way cheaper than buying.
Try renting cheap cards for the duration of the season, so you have a good base deck, and you can rent epics and legendaries for a day or two, based on what daily missions you have. There's many startegies for this. Try getting enough power to climb after Bronze II league, and you'll start earning DEC with the battles, then you can pay next season rents with the earnings if your good enough. Once you get the grip of the game, you can decide which cards are worth buying.
Good Luck, if you still have doubts i join the discord server, many people will help you there with information!
