Social Media Challenge: Splinterlands Weekly (June 23 - June 29) + Brawl Report

Greetings everyone, how is everybody doing this week? Work has managed to taper down and less busy compared to last week, which mean I got a little more time for the game. Today's post will include my account growth and also the most recent brawl report for PIZZA 2.

Let's start things off with how my collection power increased since the last update.

Owned Card Power (CP)
Week Start CP: 52640
Week Ending CP: 53030

CP Additions:
Rewards

Drybone Barbarian x 4
Swap Spitter x 2
Gobson Bomber x 3
Coastal Sentry x 8
Dumacke Orc x 3
Fungus Flinger x 3
Terraceous Grunt x 4
Possessed Puppet x 5
Ferox Defender x 5

Coastal Sentry (GF) x 1

Madcap Magus x 3
Firewatch Devil x 1

CP: 390

Gladius Pack

No packs opened. We are back to accumulating.

CP Delta to Silver 1: 16970

Wow, another gold foil. Coastal Sentry is nice since I use it rather often. The remaining rewards were good too with common drops making the majority. The drops will help me to level up the soul bound cards further to make my battles more effective. EOS is upon us in approximately 19 hours, hoping for another great EOS.

Current Staked SPS	1,761.584
Current League Range	Bronze I
SPS Delta to Next League	119

A decent growth in SPS as we inch in towards Silver 3 rating. Hopefully the EOS will bring me much closer and who knows by next week I am good for Silver 3 already. Nevertheless, staking SPS goes a long way because it will yield more SPS and vouchers. So start staking them if you haven't.

Brawl Report
Time for some brawl action! Let's take a look look at the matches I played this brawl. As usual, I am anchoring Fray 3 for my guild which is the Novice Chaos Legion Fray, so cards will be at lowest form without additional levelled up stats/abilities.

Brawl 1

When I at look at the ruleset of Earthquake + Noxious Fumes, I only had 1 card in mind, Forgotten One. Thick armour and immunity will see us through for sure.

Outcome: Win! Everything ended swiftly. After a round of attack, the ruleset accelerated the game and Forgotten One stands tall at the end of the battle.

Brawl 2

First time meeting a Zyriel in a match. Looks really good and its abilities look scary as well. Hopefully my lineup can hold up to it.

Outcome: Win! Speed and the protect from Ravenhood Warden helped to sustain the team to victory.

Brawl 3

I fielded my double martyr combo lineup with Emberstar at backline to further boost the damage output from my lineup.

Outcome: Win! A good balanced output with the combo did well for the team to secure victory.

Brawl 4

I need Harlaw to hold strong especially when I see Chinmey on my opposing side and hopefully the additional armour boost from Ravenhood Warden is able to help.

Outcome: Lose. Chinmey is too hard to handle and I did not had any idea what Gladius card I can pull out for such a ruleset. Something to ponder upon for future matches.

Brawl 5

I picked Isgald while my opponent picked Alva. I believe with more magic attack cards on my end, should be able to dispose Alva easily.

Outcome: Win! The opportunity struck many cards correctly and allowed martyr to boost Oshannus and River Hellondale which aided for the victory.

Brawl 6

Hold the front and start hammering from the back was my strategy.

Outcome: Win! The beetle effectively shut down 3 of my opponent's cards due to shield ability. My other cards start chomping from the back and aid in the win.

Brawl 7
Link : https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sm_XlY2qnbvDn4HDfC0UXFj&ref=vaynard86

Martyr with Quora to boost her attacks is one of my favourite lineup.

Outcome: Win! This strategy always does well and Quora is reliable as always.

Brawl 8
Link : https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sm_mlRWBsimRCSZsPTWmfL5&ref=vaynard86

Wow both side fielded so many heavy weights. This is an Earthquake ruleset match so I fielded Ferox Defender to boost more armour to counter the damage from Earthquake

Outcome: Lose. Natural fliers from my opponent side did better than my makeshift armour boosting squad. Armour wear out but ability to fly remains as long Snare is not there.

Guild Final Tally

I am assigned 9 matches this brawl and I won 7 of them (including 1 fled) and lost 2. The 2 matches that I've lost, takeaway is that tough tank still no match for Gladius attack and secondly, natural fliers are better than make shift ones.

This time round, we had every one whom participated filling up their frays, but in terms of wins, we are still a little short. We are moving there but a few more wins could bring us back into the podium zone. Fellow guild members, let's continue to better our games and reach for higher positions. Go PIZZA 2!

Thoughts about Splinterlands Journey
Recently I realized more and more max out decks in silver league which makes my day to day battles way harder than before. It meant that everyone is upping their game and I should not be stagnant and should continue upping my game. Grow and be stronger!
