In keeping with my goal from the previous season, I purchased 10 Common Draws yesterday. While I wasn't particularly thrilled with the cards I received from them, I still tried to look on the bright side. Today—following that same goal from the last season—it is time to purchase Rare Draws; consequently, I bought a total of 10 Rare Draws today. Although I had originally intended to spend only 10,000 Glint in total, I felt that since I had purchased 10 Common Draws, I really ought to purchase 10 Rare Draws as well. Besides, I still have plenty of Glint left over. That said, after these expenditures, it will be difficult to save up enough Glint for two Legendary Draws again this season—though I will certainly give it my best shot. But anyway, for now, let's focus our attention on these Rare Draws. So, for these 10 Rare Draws in total, I had to spend 15,000 Glint—at a rate of 1,500 Glint per draw. Along with that, I also purchased 10 Alchemy Potions; despite never having received a single Gold Card to date, I remain hopeful that perhaps, someday, these Alchemy Potions will finally work their magic.
Unlike yesterday, I am quite satisfied with these rare cards—primarily because they are already part of my deck, and I use them in my battles almost every day. Regarding one of these cards, the Torrent Sniper: just last season, I purchased 14 copies, combined them all, and upgraded them to a Level 3 version. At Level 3, this card gains a new ability called "Painforge," which boosts all of its stats by +1 whenever it is hit by an allied card. I utilize this ability of the Torrent Sniper by positioning it alongside the Shock Trooper; consequently, every time the Shock Trooper's "Shock" ability hits this card, its attack power—along with its speed, health, and other stats—increases by +1. This makes the card progressively more formidable with every passing round. And now, thanks to this reward, I have acquired three additional copies of this card, which will be instrumental in upgrading it to Level 4.
Additionally, the Dragonfang Lancer is an excellent card—one that I have already upgraded to Level 2, giving it an Attack Power of 2 instead of the standard 1. In battles with medium to high Mana caps, placing this card somewhere in the middle or at the end of the lineup proves to be quite advantageous. Its "Opportunity" ability is particularly helpful for targeting weaker enemies, and its base stats are robust enough to allow it to comfortably withstand enemy attacks for 2–3 rounds while continuing to deal damage. In low-Mana battles, I also utilize the Swampwrought; this card, too, is upgraded to Level 2 in my collection, gaining the "Camouflage" ability in the process. Similarly, the Gravebrand Warlock and Mindless Thrall are fine cards as well; they truly begin to work their magic—posing a significant challenge to the opponent—especially when you need to maintain a balanced distribution of power. Overall, compared to the 10 Common cards featured yesterday, I found these 10 Rare cards from today's selection to be far more appealing. I have yet to acquire an Epic card from the Conclave Arcana set; therefore, if I manage to accumulate enough Glint beyond the cost of two Legendary draws by the end of this season, I intend to use that surplus to purchase Epic draws.
Splinterlands isn't an easy place, but that's what makes it even more fun. A perfect strategy takes into account many factors, including stats, abilities, rulesets, mana caps, and more. That's why it's even more important to consider all these factors when developing a strategy. Add good cards to your deck, but also work on improving your strategies, and strive to win as many battles as possible!🔥
