So long Survival Mode. Season 166, which ran from August 31 to September 15, was the last for Survival Mode in its current form. After this season, Survival Mode will be shut down so its features can be updated by our Splinterlands dev team to meet the specifications outlined by a recently passed proposal.
Besides the news regarding Survival Mode, the rest of the season went as planned. I was busy with the first month of school, so I still have not been able to play as much Modern Ranked as I would like. And of course, there are also trickle down effects on my tournament participation when my free time is limited. Let's see how it affected my returns for Season 166.
| Stat | # Modern | # Wild | # Survival |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rank | Champion I56 | Champion I40 | Champion I5 |
| Rating | 4300 | 4860 | 4480 |
| Rating High | 4380 | 4860 | 4660 |
| Ratio (Win/Loss) | 1.19 (177/149) | 1.05 (98/93) | 1.40 (116/83) |
| Longest Streak | 10 | 8 | 17 |
Now that I know about the necessary 100 battle minimum to qualify for the leaderboard, I made sure to hit that threshold in all three formats and duly earned Glint for all three finishes.
My best finish was 5th place in Survival Mode, with a final rating of 4480, down 180 points from my high mark of 4660. I had a 58.3% win rate in Survival. In Wild, I finished in 40th place, with an uncharacteristically low win rate just over 50% at 51.3%, which is about 10% lower than it typically is.
In Modern, I managed more battles than the other formats, with 326 played for the season on my way to a 56th place finish at 4300 rating in Champion 1 Modern Ranked. It felt good to grind my way back into the highest league in Modern and win at a 54.3% rate.

Ranked reward brought in 17001 SPS from the three Ranked Rewards formats. The biggest chunk of SPS came from Modern, earning 8316.6 SPS from 177 wins in 326 battles. I got 47 SPS / win and 25.5 SPS / battle.

| Type | ⭐ Amount |

| Staking Rewards | 1500.128 |
| Ranked Rewards as above | 17001.109 |
| Brawl Rewards | 645.495 |
| Land Rewards | 4765.931 |
| NET SPS | 23912.663 |
In addition to all the SPS rewards, there's also the bounty earned from the 
I fled Day 2 of a tournament in two other events, so I only completed 11 of the 22 events I registered for. 50% completion rate is awful, so I consider myself quite fortunate to take home 8662.9 SPS from those 22 events. Counting the 13 events I played at least one round, I managed a respectable 666 SPS average prize from those events. Imagine if I could get my participation numbers back to 80%!
Land rewards continue to go crazy, seemingly increasing every season. Now it's closing in on 5K SPS per season as land owners continue to prioritize generating other resources instead of SPS. I'm quite happy with the aura generated from my three magic plots, so I'm happy to grow my SPS returns from my two occupied plots.
Staking and brawl rewards added about another 2K SPS to the bottom line, more or less staying consistent with the returns from prior seasons.
It was a bittersweet farewell to the current iteration of Survival Mode. Once the cooldown was limited to only Survival Mode, I became quite fond of the juicy returns the format offered me and my powerful card collection. However, the format was not serving the needs of the greater community, so hopefully the next iteration of Survival Mode will be more well-received than the last.
Looking at my combined SPS earnings from Season 166, I got 23912.6 from the various SPS reward pools and another 8662.9 SPS from SPS DAO tournaments for a total of 32575.5 SPS. Using today's spot price of 0.0074 USD, I earned about $241 worth of SPS in Season 166.
For Season 167, we'll be off to a new era without Survival Mode. Will earning be able to keep up? We'll find out in a few more days. Until next time...
