Splinterlands has still kept me hooked. Go for Gold.

avatar

I used to post consistently about my reward cards, quests and league progress after every season. It was interesting to keep track of all the cards that were added to my collection as well as the value of them and how much you could earn playing the game. I kept that up for a few seasons until you could see a steady average across the different ones.

I do still manage to complete the quests every day and have filled out my collection quite nicely since untamed cards have been released. Grinding out some DEC every day doing them really adds up and lets you pick up a few more cards. The plan for now is just to keep leveling them up and to try and max out some of my reward cards too which have built up steadily over the past year.

One piece of advice i would give to new players is to try and go gold where possible. I know they can be expensive but having a solid gold collection will pay off in the long run. You will earn more DEC in every match that you play with them as well as opening up a lot more tournaments to play in. The competition is a lot easier in these tournaments as most people have some gold cards but not full collections and not as many legendaries.

Unfortunately even though i have bought a few hundred packs since the game began and earn quest rewards nearly 7 days a week I have yet to get a sniff of one of those very rare legendary cards. With that said I have found a good bit of success in the gold tournaments, tending to place in most of the ones that i enter since there is a lot less competition. I've got 5 different gold splinters at level 6 or 7 which opens up lots of options during the matches. A lot of people don't have a full selection which can cost dearly over the course of a few rounds.

Even today I managed to place 13th from 121 entrants with a few of those wins down to people not having the right summoners.





My collection is still not full enough or leveled enough to win a lot of things but it does get me into the charts consistently without a huge investment into cards. Hopefully I will be able to slowly max out these cards this year but until then there are plenty DEC up for grabs in the tournaments and with a few wins.

Much easier than the regular tournaments with 200+ playing in most of them and full decks all around. Just something to think about.

I really need to sit down some day soon and figure out how to play. Sounds like so much fun!

Thanks @traciyork. It's a great game to play that's growing more popular every month. Luckily we have been at it since the start which gives a nice advantage. Did you ever join up for a starter pack?

You're very welcome, @niallon11! Nope, I never even got that far, despite first hearing about the game when it was still Steemit Monsters...lol! I can tell it's getting more popular, because I'm seeing more and more posts & tweets about it. World of Warcraft used to be my obsession fave, and I could see Splinterlands being my new go to game.

I'm in diamond 2 right now so no worries. Those are only extra ones I had sitting there. I could lease them for a few steem but it's more fun to share them to a couple of users.

Good man. Just try to build up your collection for the future when i need them back. Gold and summoners are the main thing. It's easy to fill the other gaps after that.

I have leased the other summoners at level 3 in case I get a quest with them.
Also, I dont sell any card unless I have them at level 3 :D
I think thats a good strat for now and it will keep me in gold for a while with the help from your cards :D
