š® 2024: The Rebellion Year šš„
This year, for me, has been nothing less than an adventure inside Splinterlands. I have faced challenges, seen so much evolution, and had countless epic battles. Even in the middle of the bear market š», where many projects start to lose their energy, Splinterlands keeps moving forward, always evolving. šŖāØ
We have said goodbye to the Chaos Legion Rewards, a chapter full of memories and victories. Now, we have entered the exciting chaos of the Rebellion Rewards era, where every match brings something fresh, and the rewards feel so special. šāļø
For me, this year has been about growing, adapting, and staying determined and this journey has been both a challenge and a joy. From staking more SPS than I imagined to surviving and thriving in the Rebellion meta, thereās so much to tell.
What have I learned? What have I achieved? And, the most importantāhow has Splinterlands kept the excitement alive through everything? Stay with me, Summonerāthereās much to discover! š¹ļøš
As a player, Iāve always been someone who invests in long-term assets, and my Splinterlands deck reflects that mindset. My current core deck is primarily Chaos Legion (CL), but with the introduction of Rebellion staples like Mantaroth and Grimbardun, Iāve managed to compete regularly in Champion tier. This consistency has allowed me to earn nearly top-tier CL Soulbound rewards, and Iām now focusing on maxing out my Rebellion rewards to solidify my deck for the future.
When Rebellion rewards were first released, Iāll admitāI was hesitant. It was challenging to identify the true staples amidst the chaos of new cards. However, as Iāve worked toward maxing these rewards, Iāve discovered true hidden gems that have transformed my gameplay. Cards like Kha'Zi, Meriput Slinger, Olivia of the Brook, and Dark Arborist have slowly become critical in my decision-making, proving their value in key matches. These cards are more than just toolsātheyāre becoming the foundation of my strategy.
The shift from free market rewards to Soulbound rewards wasnāt easy to embrace. Initially, it felt like a setback for immediate earnings, but Iāve come to understand its benefits for the ecosystem. This change reinforces a sense of ownership and builds a stronger foundation for the gameās future. I can confidently envision myself playing Splinterlands in 10 years, with a maxed deck and earning $1 SPS per victoryāa true reward for my commitment.
For me, 2024 has been a year of reinforcing my dedication to Splinterlands and experiencing the joy of empowering my deck. Every decision I make now feels like an investment in a brighter, more strategic future. Let the Rebellion continue! šāØ
Looking back to the start of the year, I was sitting comfortably at 70K SPS stakedāa solid foundation, but nothing extraordinary. Fast forward to today, and Iāve managed to nearly double that figure to 100K SPS, all without spending a single cent on additional purchases. Instead, Iāve earned 100K SPS directly in the arena! Not bad for a year of battling, huh? šŖāļø
A massive thank-you goes to 
But the journey doesnāt end here. My main milestone, the dream Iām steadily working towards, is to one day hit 1M SPS staked myself. Achieving this would not just be a personal victory, but a testament to the dedication and rewards that Splinterlands offers to its players.
Another critical factor in maintaining my momentum in Champion tier is the earnings from the SPS rental market. By renting out my SPS, Iāve gained the resources needed to rent powerful, high-value cards that I donāt yet own outright. This system has been a lifeline, allowing me to remain competitive and grow my presence in the ecosystem.
For me, 2024 has been about more than just accumulating tokensāitās been about strategic growth and reinforcing my commitment to Splinterlandsā vibrant economy. With every battle and every earned SPS, Iām one step closer to the 1M milestone, proving that perseverance and strategy always pay off.
The road ahead is exciting, and I canāt wait to see what the future holds! šš
As a player who loves to think long-term, Iāve focused my investments on assets that grow steadily and help me stay competitive. In Splinterlands, every SPS I earn and every decision I make is part of a bigger plan to build for the future. Let me tell you about the key pieces of my strategy:
My two Epic Runis are not fighters in the arena, but they are invaluable workers on my two epic plots. They produce around 1 SPS per hour, giving me a steady flow of resources. While Iām not a massive landholder, this contribution keeps my goals moving forward. Every SPS earned is another step toward building a stronger foundation in the game.
My two licenses are another critical part of my strategy. They currently generate 40 SPS and 8 vouchers daily, which I reinvest into the game. With these resources, I can rent powerful cards that I donāt yet own, helping me maintain my position in Champion tier. I know for sure that licenses will one day become the crown jewel of the Splinterlands economy, key to its decentralized model and a reliable source of income for those who hold them.
For me, every investmentāwhether itās a Runi or a licenseāis about preparing for whatās next. I donāt just play for todayās rewards; Iām building a deck and an ecosystem that will thrive for years to come. I dream of the day I hit 1M SPS staked, and Iām working toward it one battle, one SPS, and one decision at a time.
2024 has been the year where Iāve reinforced my assets and my commitment to Splinterlands. At 40 years old, with an engineerās mindset, Iām excited to see how these investments shape the future. The journey is just getting startedāletās see where it leads! šāØ
One of the most fulfilling aspects of my Splinterlands journey has been engaging with the amazing community that surrounds the game. Whether itās creating content, running contests, or dreaming big about growing the community, itās this shared connection that keeps my passion burning strong. Hereās how Iāve been staying involved:
On top of that, hosting Guess Who contests has been an absolute highlight! These contests are not just fun little riddlesātheyāre a way to interact directly with players, share the excitement of Splinterlands lore, and give back to the community with engaging giveaways. Watching everyone try to solve the enigmas is pure joy.
One of my biggest goals is to help expand the Spanish-speaking community in Splinterlands. Iāve even created a landing page and am working on more content to support this mission. Periodically, I try to engage Spanish-speaking YouTubers, reaching out to bring them aboard, but success has been elusive so far.
I know that with more effort and creativity, I can help bridge the gap and show more players in my language how amazing Splinterlands truly is. Itās a long-term goal, but one Iām passionate about pursuing.
Engaging with the Splinterlands community has made this year unforgettable. Whether itās writing a blog, sharing a tweet, or brainstorming ways to grow the community, itās these interactions that make the game so much more than just a battlefield.
For me, itās about creating, connecting, and contributing to something greaterāa thriving, global community of passionate Summoners. And as I look ahead, Iām excited to keep building and growing together with all of you. Letās make it happen! šāØ
