To build existing deck of SPL Cards or to keep buying CL packs?

I just had an interesting battle session with Hive account@joetunex, we challenged ourselves during the past week for a 3 round battle and I put $10 on the line for fun, to be honest, it’s been a while I got that much pump in my heart beat during an actual Splinterlands battle, heck I haven’t even been playing at all for months now.

The first time I was paired against Joe in battle was very unexpected and intense battle that I happened to win, so he’d always wanted to get back at me. Unfortunately for me, He, on the other hand has been playing and kicking ass in the gold level up until date, he brought the challenge and came prepared. He won the first battle.

And I won the other 2, lol, the last 3rd battle was the most interesting, Joe brought a Zaku to battle, I really thought I’d lost!!!! But to my surprise I was able to last till the end of the battle. Check out the battle in this link.

it was really fun while it lasted, one thing was clear, Joe had spent some energy building up his deck, my deck is still 2020-2021 styled, if I’m going to get back into playing full time, I’d need to spend some resources upgrading my deck. So I asked for another round, Joe, who couldn’t wait to lay his hands on me was up for it.

So it happened that I should have just walked away because I ended up getting my ass kicked 3-0. Safe to say, Joe redeemed himself from the lost battle. The battle was fun and interesting, it gave me an introspective look into what my deck looked like in the grand scheme of things and what I needed to do.

My focus, which has been on acquiring CL packs needs to shift to building my deck, popping packs open is super addictive, I just need to get hold of that legendary dragon I’ve wanted so badly and it might be in the next pack I open, you get the feelin! Ahyayai….look at me! This is how I struggle everyday between opening packs and buying cards from the market.

Anyway, if anyone is thinking of facing off with Joetunex in battle, take heed, he has some bad ass cards, he will smile till he kicks your ass, not mine though, my success story for the battle was that I got to keep my $10 Hehe. Better try next time buddy.

Battle till you drop! See you around.
