Hello everyone! Hope you all are doing great and welcome to another #Splinterland post.
Today was actually HUGE for me in #Splinterlands. Like not just a normal grind day, this felt like real progress. I finally reached Gold 3 ππ₯. Iβm not even gonna lie, I didnβt think I would reach Gold this soon. I was still getting used to Silver matches and suddenly BOOM, Gold.

I started the day like usual. Just logged in, thinking Iβll play a few matches, nothing serious. But the thing is, once you start winning, you just keep going. Thatβs exactly what happened. I had a pretty good run today. Not perfect, I did lose some matches, but overall I was winning more than losing. And thatβs what really matters when climbing. One thing I noticedβ¦ matches are getting harder and smarter. Like players are not just randomly placing cards anymore. They actually predict your moves sometimes. Itβs kinda scary ngl π .

This was the rank up match that promoted me to Modern Gold 3. I have dropped the battle link at the end of the post if you wanna check it out. It was a pretty normal match. The rulesets were not that complicating. The mana cap was 87 and you could only use Water, Life and Death cards. The rulesets were What doesn't kill you and Rise of the commons.
I won the match fairly easily. One of my key units survived longer than expected (again clutch moments saving me π), and my damage dealers kept hitting. And then, Victory. Gold 3 unlocked.

After ranking up, I received 11 chest rewards π. Now THAT is what Iβm talking about. More chests = more excitement. Opening them felt like opening gifts honestly π.

I opened all of them one by one. Not gonna lie, I was hoping for something crazy like a rare card or big reward. Did I get something insane? Not really π . But still, decent rewards overall. Some useful stuff, maybe a few cards, maybe some potions, you know the usual. Still worth it.

Today, I also entered in Guild brawls. I entered in 6 matches. I tried my best in those matches and hopefully my guild will win the brawl.

Overall⦠today felt like a milestone.
- Reached Gold 3.
- Opened 11 chests.
- Played my first guild brawls.
Thatβs a lot for one day. I still feel like Iβm learning. I still make mistakes. Sometimes I pick wrong cards, sometimes I misread rulesets, sometimes I just overthink everything π. But I can see progress. And that feels good.
Next goals:
- Stay in Gold (this is gonna be hard for sure).
- Improve strategies against stronger players.
- Contribute better in guild brawls.
Also⦠I feel like the higher I go, the more serious this game becomes.
But at the same time, more fun too.
Anyway, that was my grind today. Please do give your reviews in the comments section below. I would really appreciate it :)
I'll be back with another one soon. So do follow me if you want to stay updated. Till then, Stay Happy and Stay Hydrated.
