Spinterland's Rent-A-Deck Project - Day 9 – Total Ego Destruction

This is day 9 of my new Splinterlands #RAD (Rent-A-Deck Project).

Status Update

In may last post I was feeling pretty cocky. I had just blasted right up to Diamond last season and thought I was going to do the same. Well apprarently the Splinter Gods had other ideas for me. I have spent the last two days getting my butt kicked over and over and over and.... welll you get the idea. My Ego definitely took a big hit.

They say you learn more by losing than winning and if so I deserve a master's in Splinterlands. But joking aside I did learn some things. Like -

  1. I need legendary summoners to compete against the best players.
  2. At high levels it is good to have some affliction to stop regeneraters like the cube
  3. Curse words combinations I didn't know could be put together.

I'm currently in Gold II, and today's games went a bit better. I was able to get through my quest fairly easily, and earned a bit of DEC.

Guests and Rewards

So for my quest I first drew a Nuetral quest which is one of my worse quests. I rely heavily on neutral cards so without them I'm pretty thin. I played a few games but could see I was going to have a tough go at it.

So with fingers crossed I requested a new quest and drew Dragon which is perfect because my best deck is my Dragon deck with the water splinter.

I had a blast with this game -

I completely neutralized my opponents magic attack by combining the void shield with silence. Better yet I used their own magic against them taking out two of the backline magic users with reflected magic.

My quest rewards were ok, not great. A bit of DEC and one card.

Deck Changes

Having struggled in the neutral quest I decided I needed to pick up a tank for my Water deck. I ended up picking up 6th level Sea Monster, but am not real happy with the price or how he is doing. I'm thinking I will have to replace him with the Kraken since they thing is hard hard hard to kill at high levels.

I do like the Kraken more than the hydra but I find it tough to put him in unless I see a decent mana amount available to me.

It's always harder to move up earier in the season as the good decks have also dropped down in the season reset. I've found you have to move at the pace of everyone else generally or hold off and make a run of it near the end of the season. Some players chose to do the latter, finding getting packs from the leaderboard to be more lucrative, even though they miss out daily quests.
