Hello everyone! I hope you had a good season end in Splinterlands, the start of the season is always very hard, all big players with strong decks dropped down, so it's best to wait a day or two or just accept you're going to lose a bit more than usual.
The season end on my alt account has been a very good one, my alt is fighting in Bronze, but is earning Silver seasonal chests because it promoted to Wild League in the last days, Silver chests have a better chance on pulling Gold Foil and Legendary cards, but you still just have to be lucky, and keep grinding every season for an occasional good pull, my alt earned 20 chests, and only on my second chest I opened I got a shake... oooh nice! but that wasn't all!!
The second Gold Foil legendary reward card EVER I pulled on this account in 2.5 years playing, very cool when that happens 😃

, I meet him every once in a while and he usually kicks my ass so it was nice to return the favor for once, he has some very nice cards, and used a summoner we don't see very often in the lower leagues: Waka Spiritblade!
The mana cap for this battle was 50... 😅 funny because we can only use a maximum of 28 mana due to the little league ruleset of course, the Earth and Dragon splinter are locked out, Dragon has some nice cards for little league too so the options are more limited now, which can be a good thing sometimes...
First look at the battlefield:
Ooh that's a nice summoner! And I might be in trouble because of it, Waka is very nice with it's poison, especially in Little League battles against cards with lower hit points, they quickly die when poison hits them, the 3 mana is also nice, most of my leveled up summoners are 4 mana.
You can buy waka only as a max level summoner, and that's one of the reasons I don't see it a lot in Bronze and Silver where I'm playing in, the other reason is it's price, currently at $196 while the other Legendary summoners are in the $10 - 35 region depending on what level you want to play them at in Bronze or Silver.
My Line-Up:
- Summoner: Thadius Brood - reason: The best option for this ruleset with Dragon locked out.
- First position: Riftwing - reason: Fast and evasive with backfire and scavenge, great card.
- Second position: Wailing Wraith - reason: it's Armored Strike gives it a 2nd attack, great synergy with Ravenhood Warden to boost it's armored attack.
- Third position: Revealer - reason: Stun is always nice, good magic damage for 4 mana.
- Fourth position: Venari Bonesmith - reason: Scavenge and poison, hopefully give Waka a taste of his own medicine. 😁
- Fifth position: Ravenhood Warden - reason: Protect to boost Wailing Wraith's armored strike and gives protection in general, it's 2 attack is also nice for 4 mana.
- Sixth position: Clockwork Aide - reason: Sneak and Opportunity protection and speed management.
The Battle:
Round 1: Poison dropped on Riftwing right away, but what to expect when all enemy cards have poison, hopefully it can scavenge enough to outlast the poison, good thing is Dave's main tank is gone.
Round 2: That's a fast battle! My stun landed on Shadow Snitch and he got killed soon after, Riftwing dodged and backfired, only two cards left on the other team, poison landed on my Clockwork Aide, but since Uraeus isn't attacking the backline anymore, that's fine.
Round 3: Wailing Wraith's armored strike finished the job. GG Dave!

A nice 1.5 SPS for the win, not bad at all 😊
I was already getting as much SPS as I could last weeks, so every little drop counts, and now we're getting another airdrop too for staking our SPS, 1 more reason, not that I needed extra reasons lol 👍
That's it for this post, time to get another coffee and head to the supermarket to bring the cans I collected for deposit money to buy more SPS 😃, real life meets Splinterlands!
