Stackin' Monsters

Once again, I managed to reach Gold League by the end of the last Splinterlands season. The competition has been getting tougher every season, but I was able to reach Tier 2. I had set my sights on Tier 1, but my opponents in the arena and kind of being busy most of yesterday conspired to not let that to happen. Still Tier 2 was good for an End-Of-Season reward of 26 cards. Here they are:

As you can see I didn't get a lot of variety. But this lack of variety did have an advantage. I was able to get 5 of the new cards released today. The Furious Chicken is a pretty humorous card. But I can think of a lot of advantages to having it. The Naga Windmaster is a much more useful card. Having Headwinds ability will certainly take the sting out of some of those Archer monsters. Especially when they are summoned by the likes of Prince Rennyn or Salina Sky.

With three cards out of the gate, I was able to level my Windmaster up to Level 2 already. Since they are new today, the cards are a little pricey in the market still. I think I'll hold off purchasing any for a while until the pricing settles down some. When it does, I'll be working on getting my monster up to Level 5 as quick as possible so that it can gain the Shatter ability. I expect that the Naga Windmaster and her abilities will come to be a major headache for the Life Splinter.

As they continue to add new cards, Splinterlands continues to evolve into a very complex and balanced game. I can't wait to see what the new cards will be in the soon to be released edition that will replace Beta Booster Packs.
