As the saying goes; the devil you know is better than the angel you do not know.
Splinterlands is ultimately a strategy based game. How you choose to maneuver in the economy is your investment strategy. Away from other parts of this economy, Splinterlands has an amazing game play one either plays wild or the modern formats. The modern format rewards more than the wild format and bots are able to play in the wild format and not the modern.
** My reasoning for riding the wild horse**
Splinterlands is a competitive game and players are all about value of their investment. With that in mind, by default players players of this game will incline towards Morden, making wild less competitive, those that have heavily invested in the game are trying to get bang for their bucks, playing in a more rewarding circuit. Those who have adequately invested in their game play, but not yet extremely good at play will reduce their level of play making the Morden format a difficult league from the lower league all the way to leagues at the top of the food chain.
Aside from the thesis made so far. Bot owners are calculative individuals and after making the most from their investments if they are to keep lights on. Making them a bunch that is always prepared and aiming to make the most out of their time and investment. Making them ditch game play for land, in order to make the most out of their investments. Making wild even easier.
Ranked battles have two rewards. Sps which is received from wining bouts and rewards chests that are earned from merging victorious in battles, whose chests also contain SPS, merits , potions or cards.
My interests is earning more potions that assist my card opening, get more cards that help me build my deck and make it more competitive.
the more the merrier.
With that in mind and knowing it’s easier for me to get up the laser and play a league that allows me to earn more cards and hopefully SpS when lady lack passes through.
Playing wild has proven. To be a good way to start. However, the goal is to play at a higher level and get rewards consistently. This will allow you to build your deck and develop content that can fund cards as opposed to getting frustrated and getting less rewards from the modern format, which has a couple of pros targeting more aiming for the best result in a more rewarding system.
Quantity over quality has its place and the bill market is a good place to go hard and not miss opportunities as they car. Aggressively level up and study your way into modern format and become a competitive player, who grows and begins using his his time in playing tournaments and get rewarded more as you grow through
quantity over quality speaks volumes for me .
At times you are better off accumulating many bits and pieces, than getting left overs and frustration from the beatings you recieve from the top dogs who have downgraded to take advantage of the reward pool at lower leagues.
With all that said regarding game play and why i choose wild. Its easy to rule all that and look at it as hustling. Well even the top dogs are hustling as well in the mordern format.
My killer strategy in all this
Save the best for last they said. Well thats going to be the case if writing about my ultimate play of staying in the wild format doesnt open doors to talk about another things that could be a catch in all this.
Only the strong survive
Lol!! that reminds me of a time movie titles where thought out bu copy writers.
With many people leaving the wild format to play modern to get the most rewards and bouts gone to set up there land to earn the most out of it and have a place where there cards will work for them and earn the most. A few players remain playing the wild format, making the reward pool bigger lager than its initial state when bots where all over the show. In turn giving out more rewards for victory in brawls. It may not he as much as modern but it becomes substantial as you win more games earning more SPS, getting more points allowing you to accumulate more rewards faster. Which enables you to quickly accumulate your reward card deck. In as much as they may not have sale value now. They have a lot of game play value and having them at higher levels due to accumulating them fatser allows you to be more competitive even as you go up the ladder.
They hype in splinterlands is real. The truth of the matter is we have all invested at differnet levels and those miles ahead come into the game a long time ago. They discovered the game at a time not many knew about it. Enabling them to be holders lf powerful cards. They are like you, to people who are going to come into the game in the next bull run.
This is not the time to chase after every rabit. That comes you way. Its a time of being true to yourself mapping out a strategy that will bear fruit in the bull run.
conclusion
