After purchasing the Crustacean King card, today's gaming experience has become quite enjoyable for me. Collecting a new card in Splinterlands is not just a matter of buying a card for me, but also a part of gradually strengthening my collection. Sometimes, there are cards that seem very ordinary at first, but in a battle with the right rules, they can play a very effective role. After seeing the Crustacean King, I felt the same way. So I decided to add the card to my collection.
It is a Common Water Unit and its Mana Cost is only 3. Cards with low Mana Cost are always attractive to me, because when Mana is limited during a battle, using an effective unit with a small Mana cost can give a lot of advantages. Especially in battles with a small Mana Cap, every Mana has to be used very carefully. There, a 3 Mana card can give a good opportunity to create a combination for the whole team.
Another thing I like about Crustacean King is that it is a Water Splinter card. When playing with Water Splinter, I try to use different combinations. Some Water cards can play an offensive role and some cards can play a defensive role. For this reason, collecting a new Water card gives me the opportunity to test something new for future battles.
In other words, its stats are not very extraordinary at the beginning, but this is where the real attraction of the card lies for me. Because as the card Levels Up, its power and status improve.
The picture gives a good idea of its development from Level 2 to Level 10. That is, at higher levels it becomes much more effective than at the starting level. For me, this is one of the joys of card collecting - gradually improving a simple card to a powerful level.
Another thing that came to my attention was the presence of abilities at different levels of the card. The picture shows that additional abilities are added as the level increases. This means that not only the Attack or Health increase, but the practical value of the card can also increase at higher levels. So if I can collect enough copies in the future, I will try to take Crustacean King to higher levels.
The most important thing for me about a card is in what situations it can be used. Since Crustacean King has a Mana Cost of only 3, I want to test it in battles with a small Mana Cap. Where it becomes difficult to use tanks or powerful units with high Mana Costs, this 3 Mana card can help keep the rest of the team's Mana alive.
I also want to test its effectiveness by using different types of Support Cards with Water Splinter. A card may not seem like much power when viewed separately, but with the right Summoner and Support units, the performance of the same card can vary greatly. So after buying Crustacean King, my main goal will be to use it in different battles and understand from my own experience what type of rules it works best in.
However, there is one thing to keep in mind here. It is clearly mentioned on the screen that this card can be played in Wild and Survival and that Wild Ranked Play requires a Wild Pass. So it is important to know this before buying the card. This is not a problem for me, as I like to experiment with different gaming modes and battles. In fact, this limitation will also be part of my gaming plan.
I also really like the artwork of Crustacean King. This giant red crustacean in the water looks very powerful and different. The artwork on the cards in Splinterlands has a unique charm, and the image of the card is also important to me when collecting a new card. Just looking at the design of this card, it is clear that it fits in well with the Water environment.
I think that to build a good gaming collection, you don't just have to collect Rare or Legendary cards. You also have to give importance to Common cards. Because sometimes the battle rules are such that a common card with low Mana can change the outcome of the entire battle. I see Crustacean King from that perspective. It may not be my strongest card at the beginning, but in the right situation it can become an important part of my team.
By purchasing this card, my Water Splinter collection has become a little richer. Now I want to use it in battles regularly and observe its performance. Which Summoner works best with which, in which type of Ruleset it is more effective, in which position it gives good results - I want to test these things through my own play.
Finally, I can say that the decision to buy Crustacean King by spending 281.12 DEC is not just a simple purchase for me. It is another small achievement in my Splinterlands journey. Each new card grows my collection a little bit and at the same time gives me the opportunity to think about new strategies. It may be a Level 1 Common Card today, but I have a desire to use it in a more powerful way by taking it to a higher Level in the future.
I am looking forward to that experience with Crustacean King. The more battles I use this card in, the more I will understand its true power.
Today's new addition may be a small change to my collection, but each card has a different story in my gaming journey. The story of Crustacean King also begins today. Now it remains to be seen how much this small Mana Cost unit of Water can help me in future battles.
