Congrats on your first post in Hive account@splinterlands I started playing in October 2021 and I like the the game very much. Earning DEC through gameplay takes time, however, if you do the daily quests you will win some cards and credits. Then you can use the credits to buy cards. Sometimes the cards you buy will be good enough to rent to others and then you earn passive DEC. Keep up the good post and I will follow you.
