🔥 My Presale Journey In Splinterlands! 🐲

¡Hola Summoners! 🎮 The Conclave Arcana presale has officially ended… and WHAT A RIDE it was! 💥 As a community we've managed to burn +70 Million $SPS and rised a signifficant amount of 2,5M$. We are the best community ever! From nerves to excitement, from last-minute purchases to strategic Rebellion shopping — I’m here to share my full journey through this epic phase and what’s coming next. Because let’s be honest… this isn’t the end. It’s the start of a whole new Era. 🧙‍♀️⚔️

💡 1. Context: Why This Presale Was Built Different

We’ve all seen presales before — and Rebellion was a big one. It served as a key precedent: proving that #Splinterlands can survive, adapt, and evolve through brutal bear markets. 🐻💪 As it is the best #play2earn ever.

But Conclave Arcana? It hit different. From design to delivery, this was the next level. Let’s break it down:

📉 Learning from Chaos Legion

The Chaos Legion era taught us hard lessons, where we had an hyper inflation of packs and cards. Today we can say this problem has finally addressed, first of all, Chaos Legion will rotate out of modern, and second we've got 2 enormous productive sinks for Chaos Legion cards: Land a Survival (what do you prefer summoner, farming or beating in the arena?).

🧬 Conclave Shakeup: Bloodlines & Black foils

We've seen a double massive shakeup with the release of the 6th core set! First of all and related to gameplay: Bloodlines, they will be an enormous change of the whole battle dynamics. It's incredible how the team is able to invent and reinvent again and again and can't wait to test them! On the other side, we've got black foils and arcanes: exclusive cards very hard to be minted that will bring attention for sure to all card collectors!

All of this made Conclave Arcana feel more like a turning point than a product drop.

It’s the first time the ecosystem felt this synchronized: player, investor, collector, builder.

Every group has a reason to care — and to act now, not later.

Massive GG to the Splinterlands team 🫡
They didn’t just fix the old issues — they turned them into a blueprint for the future.

🧠 2. My Preparation: With a Little Help from My Friends 🙌

Behind every good strategy, there’s great company. My deepest thanks to:

@azircon 🧠 – My entry to Hive + strategic awareness. He’s a beacon for Splinterlands x Hive synergy, and has helped me value Hive’s potential for onboarding and growth. I will also keep the hard word to increase Splinterlands presence in #Hive

@bravetofu 🧘 – With him, I found clarity. Always calm, always helpful during tough market moments. A community MVP. Such a compromised member of the community.

@bulldog1205 🐶 – The turning point. Thanks to his content, I swapped 7K DEC into SPS pre-bullrun, ending with:

🔥 10M burnt for packs in the presale

💰 250K SPS (a huge part will be staked, the rest ready to be burned just in case I need extra funds!)

These decisions shaped my whole approach. I owe a lot to them 💪

🚀 3. My Presale Moves

I came out the gate HOT 🔥 Early on I was 15th in leaderboard position. 😱
My dreams? Legendary title, Black Foil Skinwalker… the full mage kit. 🧙‍♂️💀

Then reality hit:

The cutoff for Top 30 finallyskyrocketed to 18.3K$ 🤯 I had to pivot — hard.
Instead of forcing the climb, I invested smart:

Grabbed 8 BCX of Cryptic and Elias 💥

Now watching: Nidhogr, Risqruel, Rage, Venka 👀

Sometimes you don’t win the race — but you train for the war.

📢 4. Post-Presale Hype Is Real – This Is Just Getting Started 😤🔥

Presale over? Yes.
Hype level? Still through the roof. 💯

Let me explain why I’m still so bullish on Splinterlands right now:

🧭 PvE Campaign Mode – Finally! A real onboarding experience where you learn the game while playing. I imagine lots of new players saying:

“Wait… I can earn just by learning the game?? GG ez.” 😲

🎒 Starter Packs – This is the move. 5 cards for just 1$?? Like, bro... it's cheaper than a coffee ☕ and it builds your deck. No brainer.

📢 Marketing’s About to Hit – We’re going global 🌍.
The Conclave is no longer a whisper… it’s a SHOUT.
And I’ll be shouting too, like:

“Hey bro, check out this sick deckbuilder. Try the campaign, get your first cards for a dollar, and then FIGHT ME.” 😂⚔️

I’m even planning to grab a few starter packs myself just to round out my Commons and Rares 😎💪

🎯 5. What's Next for Beffeater? The Plan Is Set 🔮

Alright, let’s talk next steps — because I’m not here just to flex my presale points... I'm here to compete 💥

✅ Survival Mode – Gonna build a spicy deck around my Chaos Legion OGs.
(bye bye Lux in Modern… I’ll miss you, queen 😢)

✅ Modern Core Deck – Already feeling OP with Elias, Cryptic, Mantaroth, Grimbardun and Rebellions rewards at max level, while opening my packs and maxing my conclave deck!
Let’s just say I’m locked and loaded. 💥

✅ Conflicts Prep – This is where the real show begins.
All that burned SPS, all that stacking? About to shine bright. ✨
Goal: 1 maxed summoner per Conflict.
Reality: I’m trembling from the hype. I CAN’T WAIT 😬🔥 Finally I will have a max set of legendary summoners as they are brought into Praetoria (I also feel grateful that thanks to my Rebellion collection, 50% of Conflict points will also help me in the process!).

🧠 Final Thoughts: From FOMO to OG Feeling

When I joined Splinterlands I legit said to myself:

“Bro... why didn’t I find this game earlier?” 😩

But now, after Conclave Arcana presale, I’m on the other side.
Now I’m the one with the good timing.
And I know that thousands of future players will say:
