The Wilderness Journals of a Splinter Collecting Cornish Dwarf Lord - entry #4 at The Gates of Silver

WOSSON MY LOVELIES ....... howdy howdy Howdy!!
A big welcome to all you fellow Splinterlandarians, Battle Mage's, Tactical Juggernauts, Whales, Slick Alligators, Krill, Newbies, Scoobies or whatever cool Splinterland-terminology hits the mark for you - Hello!
firstly - Thanks massively to all the upvoters last time out, probably would of left this rambling with words racket to the pro's,, but you guys gave a little more spark to keep this sleepy Dwarf rolling :] cheers!

Silver Horizons
After much deliberation................... and a good trickle of investigation;P
I decided to go ahead and step into Silver,, I maybe could have made slightly more progress developing my deck with another season in Bronze, but hopefully I can pick up a few nicer rewards this season as well as really sharpening up my play against the robust grizzly card flippers of the Silver League..

my first silver battle XD

was spooked at first, as I checked my opponents previous fights, he had plenty of cards I didn't even recognise lol..
I decided to forget that! focused on the rule set and the best I could put out... Mega chuffed to Win that =) think the timer was on 6sec when I hit battle :P
Proper Nice Job Pasty !

Season Reset Hurdles
Sigh,, mostly loving it all here, but after stepping into Silver in the final few days of last season. as season reset, I suddenly went from the potential of a Silver focus chest every 2-4 battles,, to needing to win about 100 battles for one focus chest, with 6hrs left of my focus :/
grumble,, grumble grumble... I'll put it down to experience this time,, and hopefully end next season in better order to maintain decent reward rates...

Loving It All
On that note, and in an effort to keep this just a journal entry,
here is a brief list of some of the most wonderous things that I am truly loving about Splinterlands

• Great Introduction to, and way to learn all about Crypto
• Likewise with Blockchain & NFT Awesomeness
• Diversity of Tactics & Strategy for Battles and also the Long game
• Collecting Cards - So Cool, takes me right back to my 80's Skooldaze
• Rewards Rewards Rewards Rewards Rewards Rewards =D
• Market Options :O:O:O WOW! like totally amazeballs right???
• Community & Developers - same again, I just can't get enough of all the helpfull content out there!! and also have been blown away by these weekly town halls, and the direction and top top attitudes of the Splinterland Head Honcho's as well as all of the crew! Great stuff guys, Keep it up !!!

well, I'm sure I had more than that but it'll have to wait or be lost forever until #5,, maybe about how I get on chasing those shiny silver reward chests,,, also I'm starting to consider what cards to start leveling up and maybe if I should limit myself to just two or three elements,,, hmmm,,, we will see

Big Love From Sunny Cornwall to all
Thanks to my lovely daughter and Eddie the Whippet for allowing me the top photo to be used
