Over the last few years, I have been trying to work out how to keep me in the splinterlands world. I have been unemployed for over 3 years now so trying to find the funds to play a game like splinterlands for me is a big challenge.

If we look back to when I first started in Chaos Legion after winning a pack from a stream on twitch. I found a few people (thanks to twitch streams) that delegated me some cards after I bought the spell book. I was playing daily trying to earn as many daily chests as possible and end of season chests to earn the reward cards that back then could be sold. By doing this and winning cards from streams (towards the end it was from SPLTV) I was able to make my way up to owning a silver level deck.

But then the release of Rebellion came out, and the rewards cards became soulbound and SPLTV had to stop then my way of making any sort of head way to buy cards had gone out the window.

So what did I do?

I bought a Xbot of course and took a step back from the game because there was no reward for me to personally play it. Then in comes the wild battle pass I was not making enough to justify buying the wild pass and keep enough SPS to keep me happy. So I just left the game but never sold any cards.

I had taken a step back from SPL completely so much, so I didn't even know about foundation cards till about a month after they were released but now I have hit the ground running thanks to the last YGG GAP season where I came back just to complete some tasks there.

Where are we now?

Well my main goal now is to grind away at the frontier part of splinterland and yes I will be selling most of the cards that I pull but that is only so I can buy some cards I need from the conclave set so I can play in modern again and work my way to hold some dec in the long run to be able to hit the ground running when the new sets are released.

As of right now I own almost all commons and rare cards in Conclave and am happy battling away in bronze for both frontier and modern so I can start to build up that DEC ready for the new set but from my experience I will not be buying the packs I will just wait until I can buy cards and hopefully save enough DEC to get into silver for the next set.

Thank you for reading this and I hope this will help out some of the new players that love the game but like me can't afford to drop loads of money into the game.

Have you got any other tips for people like me or how do you fund your account if you don't have lots of money to drop into the game? I would love to hear from you.
