Hello, Splinterpeeps!
The first "paid" Wild Season is over and it's time to summarize rewards, spend some GLINTs on draws, and level up cards, if there are any... Before all that, just to clarify a few things... I am using a bot for ranked battles in the Wild, but I play brawls manually as I do like the competitive nature of Brawls... On the other side, I'm struggling with free time and that was the main reason for running a bot for Splinterlands... I have only 1 account, and I don't rent any cards, but playing only with my cards...
Tbh, I didn't bother with calculation if running a bot is profitable or not, but I suppose it is as I own my cards, and I have some staked SPS too... IMO, this change with adding WildPass has maybe influenced the most people who had bot farms, renting cards, and close to zero staked SPS... Of course, with these implementations and quitting some bot farms, the impact was broader as the renting market was hit too... But, we will see what happens in the next seasons...

Truth be told, after all this, I expected that my results would be better as fewer bots were playing, but it was quite the opposite!! Compared with the previous season, I had worse results! Last time, I reached the Champion 2 league, this time only Champion 3... Last time, I accumulated over 73K GLINTs, this time only 50K! Not sure what happened, but it looks like the rewards went to someone else's pocket... lol...

Anyways, with those GLINTs and tokens that I earned during the season, I decided to buy the same amount of draws as in the previous season... 10 RARE, 10 EPIC, and 5 LEGENDARY draws...
My latest Draws chests content:

After opening my RARE draws and checking out the card levels, I'm thinking of skipping these in the future... From 12 RARE SOULBOUND REWARD cards, I have 6 maxed out, and others 6 are close to being maxed out... This time, most cards that I got were those that I already had at the max level, so I wasn't able to upgrade any of them...
EPIC Draws - Screenshot from Splinterlands.com
Regarding my EPIC draws the situation was a bit better... Some of the cards that I got are in my standard "battling" package, and I use them in the Brawls as they are powerful... They are far away from maxing out, but slowly they do add up...

As I got 2 Noa the Just cards, I was able to level up that card to level 5, which means that the card got Backfire ability! I am using this card in battles and with Backfire, it will be even more powerful!!! With Speed 6, and maybe additional speed from other cards, it could work very well!

Another card that I was able to level up is Ildri Fyre, which is now also at level 5... It didn't get any ability, but it has now 1 more life and 1 more armor!
LEGENDARY Draws - Screenshot from Splinterlands.com
The highlight of my LEGENDARY draws was that one Drybone Raider as it came out in Gold Foil!!! Unfortunately, I didn't have another one to blend it up, but maybe it will come... :)
