Just a few months ago, there was a time when I couldn't make more than 1-2 draw purchases at a time because even after playing battles for an entire season, I wouldn't have much glint. But now, I'm earning a significant amount of glint as well as SPS. Do you know why? It's because I've upgraded a large number of my cards over the past few years, and I mostly use higher rarity cards in battles. It's part of the game mechanics that the higher level and higher rarity cards you play battles with, the better the rewards you'll receive. For example, if you play 100 battles in a season with higher rarity and higher level cards and win 50 of them, the rewards you'll receive will be significantly better than the rewards you'd get if you played the same 100 battles with common level 1 cards and won 50 of them. This explains why I'm now earning significantly more glint and even SPS than before. So today, just a few days into the season, I had over 6000 Glints, so I thought, why not use them to purchase 4 rare draws at once from the reward shop.
But before that, I noticed that I had very few Alchemy potions in my wallet, which can be used to increase the chances of winning Gold cards in draws. Although normally the chance of getting a Gold Foil card is maybe 0.5%, which doubles to 1% by using Alchemy potions, but still 1% is so low that winning a Gold Foil card depends entirely on your luck. But still, there is no harm in trying your luck, so first, I purchased Alchemy potions from the Consume section of the Rewards Shop, for which I paid 99 glints per potion, then I purchased 4 Rarity draws, which cost 1500 glints per draw. Rare draws only because I have been purchasing rare draws from the beginning, so I have collected enough cards in them, which I am now on the path of making more powerful by levelling them up, and one reason is that I still do not have enough glints to purchase even epic draws, let alone legendary ones. Although by adding the glint rewards of the entire season, I will purchase epic draws as well, will it be the right decision to buy one or maximum two epic draws from the earnings of an entire season and then I have to think about levelling them up as well? So, at least until my in-game glint rewards improve, I am going to buy only rare draws and anyway, the rare cards of the Arcana set are also quite powerful, so till now I am enjoying it.
These are the four rare Conclave Arcana cards, and I really like all three except the first one. Although all four cards are already part of my deck and I use them extensively in my battles, just because I already have them doesn't diminish the importance of these copies. Remember, in Splinterlands, you shouldn't aim to win new cards every day; instead, you should think about how you can level up the best cards already in your deck and make them even better. This will only be possible if you have multiple copies of those specific cards you've chosen, because only then will you be able to combine those copies and level up the cards. So, even though these cards from today's draws are already part of my deck, they are more important to me than just any card being drawn because, as I mentioned at the beginning, more important than how many battles you won is the rarity and level of cards you played those battles with.
So keep playing Splinterlands, keep winning, and keep upgrading your deck as much as possible because that's what will help you progress towards betterment and improve your ranking. Here's the link to my purchase.
