That was quite a long season and it was a bit of a grind towards the end too. However, there was a decent amount of glint and rewards earned which is good. The elusive Diamond I evaded me yet again though.

This season my ranking was just 3260 vs 2980 last month, and I earned 106k glint compared to 86k last season. I was renting around 125k of SPS which seems to be a nice number to maximise rewards. Mostly towards the last 7 daysy of the season when I am in the higher leagues.

I still continue my strategy of major chests where I have bagged a legendary this time. The key cards seem to be epic ones where I am falling behind abit there.

After major chests, I have been going for rare cards to try and max them as much as possible. I get enough common cards from the chests, so there is no need to buy them.. I could max out them pretty soon and it will be time to burn them.

Opening chests is giving me lots of potions as a negative side effect, but also I am getting extra merits which helps with my glad card collection. I managed to open 10 packs this season.

There were plenty of useful cards in the packs which was good. I still have some gold foil glad cards and I wonder if I should keep them or burn them?

I cannot imagine I will level them up, but so far I continue to keep collecting them. The common ones only give 1000 merits, which seems low for gold foil cards.

I have had some progress on common, rare and epic cards but not moving the dial much on the legendary ones.

My soulbound rebellion cards progressed quite well with some good increases across the board. The rare cards jumped +7% which is pretty good going.

My common cards are at 41%(+3%), Rare 31%(+7%), Epic 3%(+1%) and Legendaries 5%(+1%). Time is ticking and I hope I manage to get the cards I need. Once I have gathered rare cards, I will focus on epics ones next.

This month I have had some fun battles using one of my favorite legendary cards from the earth deck Runemancer Florre. She is a really powerful card to have at the back of your deck with ranged and magic attack and huge health!

She often comes in handy in those ranged attack only game rulesets. However, you need enough mana to deploy here.

I still only have her at level 3, but doubt I will upgrade now that Chaos Legion will be rotating out of modern soon.

The exciting news is that a new game mode is coming. There are still no concrete details yet and how it will work, but it could be a good step by the dev team to add some more excitement to the game.

Market Snapshot

Uptober has come and gone and we are now in MOONvember and it has been a pretty exciting month with Bitcoin powering to 93k so far and within a whisker of hitting the 100k laser eyes target.

Splinterlands tokens have also moved some with Bitcoin, SPS hitting 1 cent again before dropping back to 0.008.. However it is good to see some upwards momentem and SPS holders are probably happy.

The DEC held by the company has been replenished by the DAO and is back up to 579M DEC. The peg remains around the $0,80 mark. However the card market seems very stagnant recently and we can see there are still no movement in sales of Rebellion cards. Despite being in a rampant bull market, the packs are not selling and I think are very overpriced considering their expected shelf life.

The worry token in my last report Hive has had a nice rebound off the back of huge activity in Korea crypto exchanges. It has settled back down but kept some of the gains. At $0,24 it desperately needs to regains the $0,30 handle and work back towards $0,40. This is because at the lower market cap it cannot support the huge DAO and HBD stable token.

Thats all for this update.

How was your season?

Thanks for reading.
