How is everyone in my Splinterlands family? I hope everyone is doing well.

You must have understood the reason by looking at the title. Yes, I have finally been able to unlock the modern Silver I tier in Splinterlands this season! Those who push ranks regularly, like me,e know how annoying it is to be stuck at the border of a particular league. Today, I will share with you the story of success after that annoyance and hardship. ![Screenshot_2026_0122_154421.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmZZ5ZvTaRJkZEeYEijZ1cXUS9GzF3bS1V7ZiVXkEgXjgn/Screenshot_2026_0122_154421.jpg) To be honest, getting to Silver One was not easy for me at all this time. For the past few days, I felt like I was in a rut. Whenever my rating reached around 1580, Shani Dasha would start. That is, if I won one match, I would lose the next two matches. The most depressing moment was when my points dropped from 1580 to 1300! Can you imagine? How would it feel if, after working so hard to accumulate points, it dropped to 1300 in front of my eyes? I felt like giving up on sports altogether. I understood that at that time, there were actually a lot of big players or pro-players playing. I couldn't stand up to their powerful decks. So I stubbornly didn't play anymore, and I closed the game. Because if I had played then, my rating might have dropped even more, and I would have gone to bronze. I was waiting for an opportunity. I thought maybe there would be fewer big players around noon, so let's try it. That's what I thought. I got some free time around noon and picked up my mobile. And my idea was right! At this time, matchmaking was in my favor. I started winning several matches in a row. I regained my lost confidence. When I was playing, I saw "modern silver I unlocked" written in large letters on the screen—I can't explain the peace I felt. It felt like a stone had been lifted from my chest. All this hard work seemed worthwhile. ![Screenshot_2026_0122_154428.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmV25PBxyFL743xugVHCDFkzTbhLaL5QR23UqJMh2o34AQ/Screenshot_2026_0122_154428.jpg) After reaching Silver One, my eyes were naturally shining with the hope of rewards. Because new tiers mean new reward boxes. Silver loot was waiting for me. I got 6 minor chests and 3 major chests. I opened the boxes with great excitement. But to be honest, I was a little disappointed to see what I got. After all the hard work and ups and downs, I came to this league, hoping to get at least a gold foil or a good-quality epic/legendary. But alas!
What I got:

Among the cards, I got: Anchor-Hex Adept, Oshannus Unmade, and Stonebind Matron. Although these are not very amazing cards, they are not worth throwing away. Still, I consoled myself with the thought that—Oh my God, at least I was able to get to Silver One! I'm trying to be happy with what the reward gave me.
Strengthening my Earth deck: Kaylia Silverleaf

Since I've reached the Silver League, it's now very important to increase the level of my cards. With that thought in mind, I leveled up a summoner card of my Earth Splinter. ![Screenshot_2026_0122_180150.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmct95W2chLSNVaZrpk1U6pGxpErPPpsBthCu2ctcdW1mE/Screenshot_2026_0122_180150.jpg) The card is called "Kaylia Silverleaf". It's a rare card. I combined some cards to raise it to Level 2. As you know, high-level monster cards cannot be brought into battle unless the summoner's level is raised. I like the Kaylia Silverleaf card quite a bit; its artwork is also great. As a result of leveling up to Level 2, I hope that I can now plan better strategies for the Earth team. I'm looking forward to seeing how it performs in the next matches. ![Screenshot_2026_0122_180204.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmSnLTSNEYsLJ4RPT1bkS5MjpFfvpsFxdcNhmXQAup3tKo/Screenshot_2026_0122_180204.jpg) Friends, Splinterlands is a game of patience. It's not just about having good cards; it's also a skill to keep a cool head and play at the right time. If I had given up in frustration after dropping to a 1300 rating, I wouldn't have been able to reach Silver One today. I won't talk much more today. How is your season going? Don't forget to comment and let me know who you are and what kind of rewards you are getting! And for those who haven't started Splinterlands yet, let's say—come on, let's battle together! Everyone, stay well and healthy. See you again in the next blog. My references:-https://splinterlands.com/register?ref=mirzaiqi
