I added a new card my Splinterlands game card collection. The card is called Luckiest Longshot. I found the card quite interesting since the first time I saw it. Especially the design of the card, the character's appearance, and the changes in its different levels caught my attention. So after much thought, I finally bought this card. As you can see in the picture, I spent a total of 310.94 DEC to buy this card. Not only buying a card is important me, but the joy adding a new card my collection is also big deal.
While playing Splinterlands I realized that having a lot cards is not enough build a good deck. When to use which card, which card to level up, and which card can be more effective in which rule battle—these are also very important. So when buying a new card, I not only look at its current power, but also try to see how powerful the card can be if it is leveled up in the future. I kept the same thing in mind with the Luckiest Longshot card.
The first thing I liked about card was its beautiful artwork. The picture shows funny and brave character with red hair special goggles on his head. He has a small weapon in his hand and a large mirror-like object is visible in front him. There is a kind of dynamism in the whole picture. It seems that the character is trying to do something with his skills even in a difficult situation. Like many cards in Splinterlands, the artwork of this card also makes the game environment more interesting.
Luckiest Longshot's Mana Cost is 7. 7 Mana is neither too low nor too high for me. However, before using the card in a battle, you must check the entire Battle Rules and the total Mana Cap. Because using a 7 Mana card in a low Mana battle can make it difficult to arrange the rest of the cards. On the other hand, in a high Mana battle, it is possible to use such a card beautifully with a strong team.
Looking at the current level 1 statistics of the card, it is clear that its attack power is not very high. But in Splinterlands, I always think that it is not right to judge a card only by its Attack. A card's Speed, Health, Armor, and Ability—all have to be considered together. That's how I see it with Luckiest Longshot. It currently has a Health of 4 and Armor of 2. That means it has some protection against direct attacks. This feature can be especially useful in battles where Armor plays a significant role.
Another thing that intrigued me more is the possibility of leveling up the card. The second image shows various changes from Level 1 to Level 10. As the number of cards increases, its Health and other stats also gradually improve. Most importantly, new Abilities are available as the level increases. As you can see in the image, the card's ability gradually gets stronger in the later levels.
The Shatter Ability in particular seems quite interesting to me. According to the image, a successful attack with Shatter has a chance to destroy the opponent's Armor. Armor often makes a big difference in the Splinterlands. If a strong Tank can withstand repeated attacks because of Armor, it becomes difficult to weaken it quickly. An ability like Shatter can be very important in that place. So if I get the opportunity to level up Luckiest Longshot further in the future, I think this ability can play a good role in my battle strategy.
Another joy of buying cards for me is experimenting with new cards. I usually don't want to buy a card and just keep it in my collection. I try use card in different types battles. Sometimes I succeed sometimes I dont get expected results. But I can learn something new from every battle. In the case of the Luckiest Longshot card, I also want to try using it with different team combinations.
I especially want to test how the card works in Battle Rules where long-range attackers or certain types of abilities become important. At the same time, I want to see how Shatter comes in handy if the opponent has high Armor. Because the real power of a card cannot be understood by looking at its Stats alone. It is only in real battle situations that you can understand how effective a card is.
I think one of the most interesting things about Splinterlands is the strategy. You can't get good results by using the same team in every battle. Sometimes even a simple card can give you great results in the right situation. On the other hand, a seemingly powerful card can do nothing if used in the wrong place. This is why I like to collect new cards. New cards mean an opportunity for me to create new strategies.
I spent 310.94 DEC when I bought Luckiest Longshot. Of course, as a player I want this investment useful during future battles. You can't judge the value a card by its price alone. How much does the card help my playstyle, how many battles it gives good results in, and how strong it becomes after leveling up in the future are the real things.
After buying this card, my next goal now is to use it well and gradually improve it. Maybe one day I will be able to take it to a much higher level. Then I will see many more new abilities and improved stats compared to its current power. That thought also makes me happy.
Finally, I really enjoyed the experience of buying this Luckiest Longshot card today. My collection is slowly growing as I play Splinterlands and I am learning something new with each new card. This card may not be used in all my battles, but I will definitely try find out how effective it can be in right situation.
Splinterlands is not just a game it is a place strategy collection and joy for me try new things. Each new card adds that joy. So I am very happy to add Luckiest Longshot to my collection. Now I just have to wait and see how well my new Luckiest Longshot performs in battle.
