Just discovered this post, hope I am not too late to participate.

I've been playing since 2022. crypto gaming was a hype then and I started this game to understand what it's about. I've been playing spl daily ever since. I guess what gravitated me is the opportunity to strategize and battle against others and have game result revealed instantly; the immediate feedback helps you learn and pick up necessary skills towards the next win. Every battle lost is an opportunity for me to learn, like paying tuition to learn and do better; so I appreciate those who won over me and taught me ways to earn future wins.

I played my myself for years, not knowing how to utilise guild and social media to get connected with spl community. couple years ago bigbarger sent me invite to join guild I start to participate in brawls. However it's a very quite guild until early this year powerhemp joined our guild and he is a chatty guy and started interactions within our guild. He introduced me to twitch, survival, and your peadD posts and I start to be stream and earn cards! This definitely is a new milestone for me to finally grasp ways to gain key cards besides relying on card market. Powerhemp is extremely involved and dedicated and determined to do well in spl and I learnt so much from him. Now I am following his footsteps of topping frontier leaderboard... crossing my fingers should get #3 this season. I've made leaderboard several times but now learned how to perform more stably.

I love spl and plays daily, though it can be highly frustrating when u get lose streak days, cards don't work days but the times when you develop your own unconventional strategies to gain a win feels very satisfying and draws you to continue playing.

The new vangard cards in frontier spices up the mode but I would really prefer not so many cards introduced at once. Prior vanguard cards, few cards introduced slowly like aimmee whisper allows players adequate time to digest and absorb new playing strategies. Now suddenly we chase after many key cards all at once, namely jolius, buns, khan, king, which really puts a strain on game resources to get them, and brain power to decipher how these new cards should be used. I am on a diff. time zone than most people and usual streaming times very bad for me so difficult to access card giveaways and any streaming perks.

I hope my story helpful to this post and hope it's not too late to participate. I think it's great to earn VA cards from peakD, which I can participate anytime. Just wish I can gain access to buns, khan, and king card the same ways. Any other ways to get these cards besides challenges (happens only in stream), streaming, or card market would be very helpful to me. Please let me know if there are other ways.
