Greetings to all Splinterlands players and hive gaming community! I received a starter pack gift from our guild officer, 
Conclave Arcana Starter Pack
The starter pack is new that came with the Conclave Arcana set. It's the cheapest that can be bought for only 1,000 DEC. It's cheap but there is a disadvantage. There are no epic, legendary and gold foils in this pack. You get only regular foil common and rare cards. The best you can get from this pack are the rare, four mana archons. If you want to bet on getting an archon then the starter pack is the cheapest choice.
Opening the Pack
The best card I obtained from the pack was the rare Shadowfey Shiek. It has Flying and Life Leech skills. It's a new card in my collection that makes me excited to level it up. I want a level two and increase its attack.
Here, Shadowfey Shiek was one of the cards in a game with Earthquake battle modifier. It has flying skills that doesn't take damage from earthquake. See, my opponent had a legendary archon but had no flying units while I had mostly Foundation set cards. Still, my cards won because some had the necessary skills for the earthquake modifier.
The other cards were not as exciting. I already have them and I already bought Portly Cannoneer to level it up to two. This is the reason why I prefer to buy single cards than bet on getting good cards from packs. Chances are higher that I get cards that I already have or don't want. Still, I'm thankful for the gift from our guild officer and I appreciate being in our guild. It helps me grow my cards and staked SPS.
