Splinterlands Sundays!: Tournament Changes add more Strategies

I typically play in as many tournaments between Season ends and particularly on weekends as a great way to accumulate Dark Energy Crystals (DEC). Given that they are getting more difficult to capture every Season, playing in tournaments provides another alternative to get some. While it has always been a hit or miss situation with me and tournaments, I have surely gotten enough placements for it to be a good use of my time at the moment.

However, since I have not been playing in many as of late, I did not realize that a number of changes were made in the structure of some tournaments over the last week. Card Editions have become more exclusive for some tournaments and that brings some additional challenges with competing for placements. Now we are seeing some tournaments with restrictions of using some early Editions like Alpha and Beta.

This is tough for me for a number of reasons. First, my best cards are Alpha cards as I started my Collection very early on. I also decided to invest in Alpha to maximize the level of most of those cards. Restricting the use of Alpha is tough as only Untamed and Reward editions are high level for me at the moment. This is because I never leveled up my Beta cards other than the neutrals and Epic and Legendary Summoners given that I already had high levels of the same cards in Alpha. Instead, I have made my Beta collection the source of my Rentals for the market.

However, I do certainly have a good Collection of Untamed cards as well. The issue is the fact that I have yet to learn how to best use the new cards alone. I feel that the editions mostly complement each other which have allowed me great ways to build teams in battles and tournaments. Only having one edition available makes it pretty tough after playing since the beginning. New strategies need to be formed even though players may not be used to them given that ranked matches do not have those restrictions.

While these changes have been challenging, I think they are great to welcome the new players to the community and allow them to compete in similar playing fields than those of us that have been here more time. There continues to be special tournaments for Alpha and Beta users too so this is a great way for each meta to have a place in the ecosystem. In the end, growth for all sides will benefit not only our collection values but also our experience which continues to evolve!
