I am new to Splinterlands and do not know what I am doing.

Everyone that I chat with talk about how great Splinterlands game is so I wanted to play as well.
Over the past month, I have been saving up my HBD so that I could purchase the spell book. With the price of HBD going up, today I had enough to may the purchase.

To learn, I used the practice fight but got my tail whipped.

I was always told to jump right in to start learning so I decided not to practice any more but to start fighting.

The screen shots show the last match first. As you can see, I won four straight matches. Then lost one to an account that had a rating of 1,141. I tried one more time and won my fifth match. This completed the Snipe Quest (whatever that is since I am new to the game and don't know anything) and received a chest.

I was very pleased to have won a chest that I opened it right away and received the Dark Ferryman card. Can anyone share what I should look at to tell if this is a good card to have?

Now it appears I leveled up to Bronze III and have pending rewards of 5 chests.

I will start reading post regarding Splinterlands so I can learn more about the game. If you have any advice to give a noob please do so because I don't know what I should try to do next.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
