My time playing Splinterlands is teaching me something new every day and also giving me fun experiences. As I play I have moved through leagues. Getting to each league feels different. The moment I unlocked Modern Diamond II was really happy. This is because the higher I go in the Diamond league the harder it gets to win making each win feel more difficult than before.
As you can see in the pictures the Modern Diamond II reward screen is nicely designed. The first image shows the Diamond II badge and the "UNLOCKED" text. Seeing this moment made me feel very satisfied; for me the game isn't about playing鈥攇radually improving my account and reaching new leagues is a big achievement.
The second image shows the rewards I got. Along with important cards I got rewards like Energy, Merits, Entries, Alchemy Potion Charges, Legendary Potion Charges and a Rare Scroll. Getting all of these together made the whole reward package seem good.
The first thing I noticed was the Energy. Energy rewards are in parts of the image. Energy is important for battles in Splinterlands; without it it's hard to battle regularly. That is why I like getting Energy as a reward鈥攊t is really helpful for playing more battles especially when I am trying to climb the league rankings.
Then there are the Merits. The image shows 31 Merits in one place 544 in another and 1,279 at the bottom. Merits are also an important reward for me as they can be used to get items from the Guild Shop through different guild activities. Getting a lot of Merits makes me feel that they will help me get things for my account in the future.
Now lets talk about the cards I got. I can see the card in the image; it is an Elemental card and I really like how it looks. The artwork, with red and orange colors makes the card look strong. If used in the moment during a battle this card could help my team a lot.
I also got the Stonebind Matron card. It is from the faction and costs 8 mana.
Another card is the Careless Badger. It is a Neutral Beast that costs 3 mana. I find cards like this very helpful for low-mana battles as high mana isn't always there. Often I have to build a team with limited mana and these low-cost cards fit well into my plan.
The image also shows an Elemental card called Coralforged. It costs 8 mana; it looks strong. I really like its water-blue look. I also got an Undead card called Cullborn Revenant. The best part about getting cards is watching my collection grow. In the future when I need to battle with rules having this collection will give me more choices.
Next is the Divine Construct card called Phlegmor. Its look is different from the others; the big green creature looks very interesting. I also got a Djinn card called Surgebane as a reward. I always get excited when I see the name, mana cost, abilities and stats of a card.
Finally the image shows a Rare Undead card called Mindless Thrall. Getting a card is a happy moment for me because having different cards adds more variety to my collection.
Along with the cards I got Alchemy Potion Charges and Legendary Potion Charges. These are important to me because they could be useful in the future when opening packs or getting rewards. There is also a Rare Scroll in the rewards. Together the whole Reward Screen feels very good to me.
What I like the most is that these rewards are not random numbers; each one can help me in my future progress in the game in some way. Energy will let me play battles Merits will be useful for Guild activities later and the new cards will help make my collection and my battle plan stronger.
When I first started playing Splinterlands I was not sure if I could ever reach such a level. However by playing learning from mistakes and carefully collecting and upgrading cards I have made it to Modern Diamond II. This progress makes me truly happy.
Battling in the Diamond league is very tough now; opponents come with cards Summoners and smart plans. Because of that winning here feels more rewarding. The happiness of winning is even better after coming from a few losses.
Unlocking Modern Diamond II. Getting todays rewards will be a memory I keep close. I know there are battles ahead and moving up the leagues will need even better plans. I need to get better at using cards and keep building my collection.
Overall opening todays rewards has been a nice experience. Unlocking Modern Diamond II getting cards collecting Energy and Merits and receiving other rewards鈥攁ll of it adds another nice part to my Splinterlands journey. My goal now is to keep moving and slowly go up the leagues. My interest in Splinterlands keeps growing. Rewards, like these push me to play with even more energy.
