Season 138 has come to a close and this is my 2nd full season back in modern only. It has been a pretty interesting season, battling away and making adjustments to my deck and hustling as best I can.
I did manage to unlock Gold I again and a few days before the end of the season too. I had some hopes that I could try and crack into Diamond III again like back in the olden days, however, that was not to be the case.
In the end I fell back down to Gold II and was grinding there mostly in the last few days trying to get back up to Gold I without any luck.
My ranking was over 200 points lower than last season where I had hit 2500. Despite making some deck improvements that is a shame. However, my EOS glint earnings were nearly 43k and this was an improvement over the 37k last season, but much lower than those of my guild running in wild earning many more multiples of this.
As I was wanting to get as much glint as I can and improve my reward cards, I ended up burning many of my gold foil soulbound cards for glint and buying many more cards that I needed.
Here are a bunch of legendaries that I pulled with that glint which helped me out no end but cost me 250k glint. However, there is no other way but to get the legendaries that you need. I have been buying the ultimate chests too, but they are often not paying compared to just getting the cards you want.
With my 30 ultimate chests pull, I did manage 2 legendaries of Ferexian Hero which I needed, and now only need 1 more of him to have at max level.
This would have been cheaper to just get legendary cards. Luckily I could burn the Madcap Magus gold foil rare cards for 10k glint as a sort of refund.
I do think buying and opening chests at the end of the season are important and part of the fun though, just in case you get something really cool and unexpected. I really need some Kulu Masterminds! It was lucky then that I spent the rest of my glint on 4 legendaries and pulled one! 😀
He is still the legendary that I now most want to max out. I need one more copy of him to get him to level 3 and then the path to max level is not far off.
It was a shame 2 of the legendaries I already had and lost alot of glint when I burned them. Overall though, my progress on the soulbound cards is progressing well.
Compared to last season, my common cards are now at 100% with just 19 copies for Firecaller being needed and my common cards are then all max level.
My rare cards are up to 88% now from 82% and still a little bit of work to do here. My Epic cards then jumped from 47% to 55% now. I try to push these as much as I can. Finally the big jump in legendaries from 69% to 77% is also pretty good. I still hope I can pick up the final cards before the new soulbound get released.
Card prices continue their death spiral and I managed to add a few max level cards to my deck. Some that I use quite often such as Life Sapper and Venari Bonesmith. I didn't realise that I didn't have them already at max level.
The main thing I also did was to move Thaddius Brood up to max level from 7 which I was hesitating to do for some time. Now my death deck is feeling abit more powerful and one of my favorite splinters to play.
100K DEC
Today I also went on a shopping spree spending around 100k DEC that I had saved up to improve my deck. This time I was buying my missing reward cards from my collection on my alt account. These are some great cards and I am looking forward to putting them to good use.
A couple are from the beta card collection and the rest from untamed, so they are no use in modern, but for brawls and wild can be very useful. They will now line up with my Kron the Undying who has been kicking ass in the brawls recently.
I just need to add a Kitty and Yoda. I hope the prices may drop a bit further that I can snag them if they become available.
Game News
The news has been lately that some proposals to make changes to the SPS rewards and scrapping vouchers have been put through. There are now so many proposals, it is hard to keep up with them all. I would be happier if they had less proposals as there shouldn't be too much need for big changes in the game and this keeps a more longer term perspective instead of short term untested changes.
The other big news is the release of a Hive DHF proposal for Splinterlands to fund the dev team. It is hard to know if this would pass at the moment, but considering the majority of comments are msotpy positive for it, who knows?
How was your season?
That's all for this update, thanks for reading.
