Greetings to all my fellow players around the world and to Splinterlands. Today I will be sharing some of my insights on new update and epic battle in Survival Format. Two significant announcement caught my attention. The survival format update and the music player.
SURVIVAL FORMAT UPDATE
We've made a key change to encourage more participation in Survival!
Cards that die in Survival are now only restricted from Survival mode until their timer expires. You can still use them freely in other formats.

For a player like me who dont have a lot of cards to play in survival, this is big update. Survival format is different in the sense that it has no energy require. As long as I have archons and monster, I can play and earn SPS. if my card dies then i'll just have to wait for it to revive. I have seen some post on X with insane rewards, and its kinda inspired me to enter this format in the future. A plan was made up in my mind that I will collect cards for this format. But then new update came along, but of course I can't say that this will be permanent, it can change from time to time depending on the result. Anyway Splinterlands doesn't fail to bring excitement to us and I think that they are just fairly looking at every players and ecosystem benefits. I have no complain whatever happens😁.
I have been playing in wild tournament anyway, so it doesn't make a diffirence. I jumped straight ahead to test my skills in Survival Format.
My First SPS Reward in Survival Format
As the title suggest this is the first time that I earned SPS reward in Sirvival Format.

Click the battle link above to watch the game. So there you go, my first SPS battle reward in Survival Format. I was able to get it from 120 rating. The first 100 rating will not earn reward for the information of the reader. When I say earlier that I thought I can do this coz theres no diffirence in wild, I was wrong. Yes maybe all the cards are available, but battle after battle, my card dies and its on cooldown. I ended up with a broken line up. I already have 28 depeleted cards when I reach the 120 rating😄. I'm not sure if I can win again if I continue playing, I might ended up depleting more cards. Then I realise that if I am thinking that this is difficult for me, then I am sure that my enemy is thinking the same way too. And I am lucky that I pull this win and now he has 1 archon and 4 cards at cooldown. While my team is still intact. Thou I lost lot of cards from previous battle.
As I am analysing this, perhaps its the challenge of Survival that makes it exciting, but with a patience and right strategy I can slowly climb up the rank to earn more rewards. This format has no energy requirement, I lost nothing if I loose, and if I win I am rewarded, depleted cards are still usable in another format. Another thought comes to my mind, I remember before reading about the revival potion that did not materialise, yet. But who knows maybe in the future it will be another update. A craftable item in Land, additional revenue to Land Owners.
MUSIC PLAYER
A music player has been added to the main SPS dashboard – enjoy tracks from across the game!

How cool is that?! A music player inside Splinterlands😎! I like listening to adventure music, like the soundtrack of pirates of carribean. It has 9 tracks as of now, but I know soon there will be more since I am seeing some music remix on X by splinterlands players themselves. This is just the begginning for sure so i'll just wait for the update.
Thats about it folks. I will see you in next challenge.
