Hello everyone and welcome back to the Zard and Beccss weekly newsletter!
New week new newsletter! Let's jump right into this one and see what has happened in the last week!
This week has been a very social media-heavy week. We've gone back to Tik Tok and decided to take a new approach to it. You will find all our skits, shorts, exclusive videos that won't be on YouTube, and behind the scene action from us.
So far @Beccss has done a short on My Pet Hooligan and Zard has started his Skit spree with his first victim Agent Stache.
There is a lot in the works at the moment so you want to make sure you drop us a follow there to keep up-to-date with all the extra goodies we give to you all.

Our Sunday tournament will be hosted on our personal Twitch channel where there will be loads of giveaways and games to take part in to win some free cards and DEC.
We've been busy bees this week making so much content on Youtube for you all. No matter if you are a Splinterlands player, a Gods Unchained player, or a My Pet Hooligan player (or waiter) we made something for you.
Our Gods Unchained video focused on a very stingy death deck that just continuously refused to lose the game. No matter how hard Zard tried, they always came back trying to destroy him and his team. You get to see the whole gameplay and see Zards' thought process for playing certain cards in a certain order.
He also goes into detail on certain cards and what they are good for - deffo something you need to watch if you are interested in God's Unchained.
During the week YabaMatt released a Splinterlands proposal for implementing a daily burn of Riftwater packs. There wasn't an exact right or wrong answer to this but we weighed up both sides and had a discussion based on what people have said in the Tavern and on Twitter. This video focused on both sides before coming to a conclusion on what Zard was going to vote for this proposal.
With only a few days left of the proposal, if you still don't know which way to vote, this video is certainly something you would want to check out to see both sides in an unbias way and then vote for what you think.
You didn't think we forgot about Celestia Ultimate, did you? At the moment the $Champ token has tanked and not a lot of people know why. Some may think the game is failing, and some may think that people just need to sell their token quickly because of life obligations but we did some digging and found out the right answers. Since the video has been posted there has been a change in the $Champ token so maybe this gave some clarity to new and old players...who knows. But if you want a new game to look into and want to know more about their token before getting involved, check this video out!
If you are looking for a brand new First Person Shooter game then look no further, @Beccss has you covered. She has gone and done a review of a brand new game called My Pet Hooligan which is currently in Alpha. She has gone into detail on what the game is like, what to expect, and also some behind the scene footage so all of you guys can get the best bits of information.
She also lets you know how you can get into the game before it is released to the public.

SPLINTERLANDS BATTLE CONTEST
Thank you to everyone who has taken part in our weekly Splinterlands battle competition over the last few months. As we have now closed our July battles, it means that the August battles can now start rolling in.
If you have had a brilliant game don't forget to send it in to Zard and Beccss via our Discord server. All you have to do is react to Zard and Beccss and put your fight into our Splinterlands-Fights channel with your IGN.
We will then make a video at the end of the month showcasing the best 3 games. All placers will get DEC for being the best, and tier 2 or tier 3 Twitch subscribers who place get double payouts.
That's all for this week everyone, thanks for coming for the games but staying for the vibe. Don't forget, be a shark in this world, not a whale.
