Social Media Challenge: Splinterlands Weekly (July 7 - July 13) + Brawl Report

Greetings everyone, how is everybody doing this week? With SPS staking live, how has things change for you? Are you renting SPS or just grinding it out with whatever you have? Today's will be on my account growth and a brawl report.

With Card Power (CP) requirements abolished, I will just share the cards that I get throughout the week from chest.

Common
Gobson Bomber x 1
Fungus Flinger x 3
Ferox Defender x 4
Wily Coyotian x 2
Drybone Barbarian x 3

Rare
Venari Marksrat x 1
Pembrook Nymph x 2

Gladius Pack
No packs opened. We are back to accumulating before opening.

Summary
Now that SPS staking determining rewards has kicked in, the number of chest I get on a daily basis has significantly dropped. Day to day playing in silver league, my multiplier is hovering at 4% thereabouts. This constitutes to a 60% drop as compared to previous old system.

I have known of people who took various approach to embrace this change. Some bought SPS, some rented SPS, some just play casually, some even converted into a SPS rental account. For now, I am studying the rental rates for SPS and seeing if the rental is viable for me before committing to it.

Current Staked SPS	1,837.584
Current League Range	Bronze I
SPS Delta to Next League	63

I closing in towards Silver 3 requirements with just 63 more SPS to go. Even when I move to Silver 3, it will still be a penalty as my rating usually will land in Silver 1 region. Hopefully I can do well in brawls and accelerate my SPS accumulation.

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

Born again match, best time for Martyr to do a double boost, hence I included one in my lineup.

Outcome: Win! Sheer volume of cards in the lineup actually helped to secure the victory as everyone of them can reborn.

Brawl 2

This is an almost mirror match less me using Deeplurker to be more aggressive

Outcome: Win! Correct place of Martyr can totally turn the outcome of a match as both my Deeplurker and Isgald Vorst were boosted.

Brawl 3

I opted for heavy magic, my opponent opted for heavy range. I added a Swamp Spitter for repair purpose.

Outcome: Win! Everything fall into plan with magic attacks and repair.

Brawl 4

Same strategy, Martyr must be there. I made it even crazier, I have River Hellondale to enable a third resurrection.

Outcome: Win! Rule of thumb, Born Again ruleset, always have Martyr cards ready to die and born again.

Brawl 5

Walk over match.

Outcome: Win! Walkover, opponent giveup.

Brawl 6

I am surprised, my opponent did not use River Nymph. In Noxious Fumes match, Cleanse is such an important ability to have in order to clear the poison inflicted onto you

Outcome: Win! Cleanse solved all the problem in this matchup.

Brawl 7
Link : https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sm_zHUAJONIcWMREO24Yj2x&ref=vaynard86

Outcome: Win! Some mischief went a long way to let opponent melee cards eat back the damage they wanted to inflict.

Brawl 8
Link : https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sm_LVVfMfImCSh8UKq5qbr1&ref=vaynard86

My turn to try double Gladius. And first match of Earth Splinter. Placed 2 of my most favourite Gladius cards and hope for the best.

Outcome: Win! Quora and Katrelba wrecking my opponent's lineup from both front and back.

Guild Final Tally

I am assigned 9 matches this brawl and I won all 9 of them (1 escaped), another clean sweep for this brawl. Another thing was less dependency on Quora whom had been my Brawl ace for many Brawls.

We are sustained at rank 3. In terms of wins, we are closing in which is a very good sign. Let's continue to better our game and improve our rank. Go PIZZA 2!

Thoughts about Splinterlands Journey
Now is a phase of adjusting to the new SPS staking rewards multiplier. I myself still figuring out how to proceed. My SPS amount is low which really limits my reward amount. Anyone has a good insight of what is the best thing to do now? If you do, can let me know in the comments.
