Tournament turmoil: 2nd place Silvershield Knights, Silver league, Modern
Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to my blog series "Tournament turmoil", where I report about my experiences in the Splinterlands tournaments. These articles will show you gameplay and renting strategies, aswell as general advices to up your performance in this fun playmode, including economical talk. Just give it a shot and share your opinion in the comment section below.
Those "Silvershield Knights are recruiting"-tournaments are my favorite ones, as they have nice gameplay with silver caps, okay costs to rent and an good entry fee-payout-ratio. The tournament from 22nd to 23rd March was held in the modern format. Allowed cards were from Chaos Legion, Untamed and Dice. Sadly reward cards aren´t allowed yet in those modern tournaments. Missing my Pelacor Bandit and Uraeus. Before we talk about my gameplay and renting strategy, lets check out the results:
So. damn. close! Only eight points of tiebreakers behind the great Ueyuey, a rank 1 player with an insanely high winrate. Never placed that high before. But all those rented high powered cards from Untamed and Dice (I own only Chaos Legion and Reward), some good lineups and a bit of luck took me all the way to the second place.
Rental strategy
You seriously can´t aim for the best places, without access to Untamed and Dice in this game, no matter Wild or Modern, so I rented quite heavy for this one. Good for me: There were other tournaments aswell during this time window, so the rental cost was split across four tournaments and some ladder grinding for fun. Here are the cards I rented for the tournament:
In death it was only a single card: Owster Rotwell, who gives all your creatures Magic Reflect. Paid a bit over 2.000 DEC for those cards, as I aimed for gold level cards (for the other tournaments). As you can see on the results, it worked out just fine.
Gameplay strategy
As you already saw in the screenshot, I played 19:2, which is pretty awesome. Lets break down the archetypes, I´d chosen:
5 x Mylor Goodstuff
4 x Kitty / Life Earthquake
2 x Lorna Little League / Low Mana
2 x Yodin Zaku doing Yodinstuff
1 x Kitty Opportunity
1 x Owster Rise of the Commons
1 x Owster Back to Basics
1 x Thaddius Brood Little League
On top of these 17 games I had a whopping four byes from fleeing opponents on day one. As I said, my great showing resulted from a bit of luck aswell. In retrospective I see quite a lot of potential improvements. Some thoughts following:
- Especially that Thaddius Brood game makes me quite mad, as it was one loss, that was definitely my fault. Instead of Thaddius I should have played Owster, aswell as including Riftwing. Stupid game that cost me rank one. But, we all should learn from our mistakes and just make it better the next time.
- That Owster Back to Basics game was so thrilling. At the time my opponent locked in his team, the tournament was nearly over and I sitted on rank two. He finished day one with a clean sweep of 11:0, so I was pretty nervous. I bested him and progressed to rank one temporarly, until Ueyuey got me on tiebreakers in the last half hour of a two day tournament.
My MVPs in the tournament have been Mylor Crowling, Queen Mycelia and Byzantine Kitty.

Notice many "new users" on Hive? Not many, like this place is a disease. No outside communities bringing in new comers. No other sites having many links or no links to any articles from Hive on sites that show professional interests they view as noteworthy to a profession or hobby. Hive articeles are rare on reddit.com. Wouldnt people post on reddit.com with links to their articles attracting their own new following and groups? No crypto forums acknowledge Hive exists as a place to be either. Ever seen a person asking for support show a way to give support with HIVE listed as a supporting wallet address? Is there a world address on Hive for countries made more unfortunate because of Hive? Would a large Hive holder or large earner of Hive donate a LARGE amount of Hive to help support Ukraine? What? Support something thing that could attract unwanted media attention? Nothing to see here......I dont get out much though.
People are hiding exposure to Hive. People either play dumb, could be scared or intimidated, mislead or dont beilieve it. Maybe just not electronically cultured enough to know. Who knows. Its mostly fake with fake attention paid for by people with ill intentions as many do gloating in their own groups special mindset. Such a small town here to support this kind of high pay. Who is buying Hive tokens with no notable new user base coming in? People trying to buy this place as a grooming ground on the sly. Articles that arent in the interests of their own goals and views dont get much attention. I dont see many high paid articles I would put on a real news sites or link to as noteworthy. Be part of one of their groups and they groom you. They buy comment and article writers in ways that keep their lies hidden. Here to take our FREEDOMS completely in treason as the sacks of shit they are.
Most interest groups and businesses have discord rooms on the side because they wont talk here or more able to teach views there to shill out of public view. They can do odd stuff to you in discord rooms they cant do here. I’ve seen people get mugged and shaken down in discords, be careful while visiting new discords, even if they are a business. They shut down the discord room along with all of the evidence of their crimes the group around @fyrstikken and his discord server @steemspeak. They also hide behind skirts there while on the creep like they do in the new ones they are in.
The operators doing V2K with remote neural monitoring want me to believe this lady @battleaxe is an operator. She is involved in the same discord groups around @fyrstikken and friends. Her discord is Battleaxe#1003. Shes in some groups with seemingly detached characters that dont even acknowledge the others in the group, looking oddly staged. She starts projects and does nothing with it or the delegations after its used to sway people. Like @steempowertwins does<------fake along with her @teamgood <------fake. No substance in her comments and has a following that adores her for what? Life coach she is not nor is she insightful with any meaningful skills to follow. Ruler of pixie dust maybe? I would like for someone to show me but probably wont out fear maybe? @fyrstikken groups around him down voted me into censored and not viewable on my accounts as soon I told what they were doing.
I cant prove @battleaxe is the one directly doing the V2K and RNM. Doing it requires more than one person at the least. It cant be done alone. She cant prove she is not one of the ones doing V2K because she cant and could care less. I guarantee she knows this is going around and still wont prove it because she cant. Many of us here can prove what they have been doing to survive the past 5 years. What does she live off of? It definitely isnt in public view here.
I was drugged in my home covertly, it ended badly. They have been trying to kill me using RNM with applied V2K mental games while revealing as many accessories to the crime as they can. I bet nobody does anything at all. Ask @battleaxe to prove it. I bet she wont. Pretty serious accusations to just blow off and leave the crypto community hanging in fear of this danger.
They want me to believe the V2K and RNM in me is being broadcast from her location. And what the fuck is "HOMELAND SECURITY" doing about this shit? I think stumbling over their own dicks maybe? Just like they did and are doing with the Havana Syndrome. They should start by looking at the communications between the top witnesses of Hive and the connection to @fyrstikken groups. Google his fucking name and see where his other interests lie around at least once maybe? The connections between @fyrstikken groups and all the exchanges built for Hive? Bet that would reveal some crazy ball less nutty shit. Homeland security should start preparing for their own incarcerations seeing how sloppy this was done. Patriot act my ass. Think we are really fools? Bad position your not getting out of. Dont be last to blow the whistle. Who will protect you?
People in and around @fyrstikkens groups are reckless and should have shown the proper media what they had before taking me hostage for 5 long torturing years and counting. That is a long time to wait for someone to die.
What would you say while having a gun pointed at your head from an undisclosed location? Have people find it? My hands are tied while they play like children with a gun to my head. Its a terrorist act on American soil while some yawn and say its not real or Im a mental case. Many know its real. This is an ignored detrimental to humanity domestic threat. Ask informed soldiers in the American military what their oath is and why nothing is being done. Nobody has I guess. Maybe someone told ill informed soldiers they cant protect America from military leaders in control that have ill intent. How do we protect locked up soldiers prevented from telling the truth from being treated as criminals? Not to mention civilians we let our leaders treat the same way. https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism-terrorism
