Hulala! 🎉, Good morning warriors!!

I was just staring at my phone when I saw the notification.I couldn’t believe my eyes 👀,I finally hit Diamond 3 this season!.

This is my first time ever reaching Diamond, and the feeling is amazing. From struggling in lower ranks to climbing all the way up, every battle, every lesson, and every grind has been worth it.

I’m dedicating this milestone to the entire #Splinterlands community. You guys have been incredible — the love,guidance, tips and constant support mean more than you know. Whether it was strategy discussions, encouragement during tough seasons, or just good vibes, you all played a huge part in this.

I only started grinding seriously last year, and now here I am.This one is for the community!
Massive thank you once again, #Splinterlands fam. Let’s keep pushing and building this game together! 🔥

Splinterlands is no walk in the park,but that's what amps up the excitement.A winning strategy weighs stats, abilities, rulesets, mana caps, and beyond. That's why you must factor them all into your deck building.Toss in strong cards to boost your setups, and push hard to rack up as many victories as possible! 🔥

UNBOXING
This is my favorite part — that thrilling anxiety and sweet anticipation is an absolute delight!

Something happened to my phone as I was about to open the various chests and I could not get that part back.So I had to go to my owned cards to see what was there since I always upgrade them.And found that I was given these following monsters;

I so much like them,most especially TANDI JANDA, having it for the first time and it is from the Ulund bloodline.I am so happy and I would just upgrade right away.My Stonebird Matron and Husk of the Hunter are now in level 3 respectively.

The Battle That Unlocked Diamond 💎 3.
The ruleset and Line up
Yesterday I did an extensive write of the duo monsters Chaos Jailer and Night Stalker, highlighting on their deadly combination.And now,they just delivered to me Diamond 💎 III on a platter.Watch their exploit once more in this replay I am about to share.
The total mana cost for this battle was 36,and you are to choose units from fire,water life, death and dragon elements.
The rules are:

Rare + Common only | No Magic Attacks Allowed

Lineups.

My summoner: Cryptic— a master of disruption,with surgical buffs and debuffs:
Poison + Expose slapped on two key monsters and turning every hit into a ticking time.Also
-1 Speed + Blind rained down on enemy units and crippling their initiative and accuracy.

My Lineup – The Chaos Engine
Nim Guard Captain (Tank) – Void armor: absorbing the worst of the frontline punishment.

Surgehammer– Flying + Opportunity: Aerial menace ready to punish any opening.

Tidal Tsunamist – Sneak: Slipping through defenses like water through cracks.

Chaos Jailer – Opportunity + Ambush + Poison: The MVP Disruptor.

Night Stalker – Sneak + Execute: The Executioner.

Bristleborn Brigand – Ranged + Snipe/: Picking off high-value targets from the back.

My opponent’s Lineup – The Heavy Charge.
Summoner:Prophet Rosa– Boosting ranged output.

Port Guardian (Tank) – Corrosive Ward.

Ironwing Juggernaut – Weary + Charge.

Surgeblade – Charge + Reveal.

Grimward Ruinshot – Dispel + Relentless Strike +piercing.Really posed a threat.

Aerial Shieldmaiden – Flying + Opportunity.

My opponent came loaded for a brutal melee brawl with strong charge potential and dispel utility.

Ambush Round.The moment the horn sounded(buffs and debuffs activated by summoners), Chaos Jailer’s Ambush triggered first — completely bypassing their speed advantage.That created an immediate chaos in their formation.
