Good Morning Splinterlands Fam!
ForsakenSushi here, and I realized my first post lacked an introduction after it was recommended by a commentor. I am new to the Splinterlands fam, I just heard about the game 2 days before the end of last season rewards. My girlfriend heard about it from a Filipino gaming group so I checked it out. I am a life long gamer usually in MMORPG type games from WOW to Runescape to Diablo 2 recently. And my roots go back to gaming in games like Legends of Kesmai, Magestorm, and Runescape Classic. In terms of card games, I played magic the Gathering all my life, at first when i was too young to understand the rules, i would collect the cards with cool pictures, that was around the time of the Ice Age set, i remember it well. Eventually i went on to build my own Blue deck that was based on Revised edition cards focusing on Counter/Control theories using cards like Clone to copy enemy monsters, and basic staples like counterspell.
In my last post I detailed how rough it has been playing the game without being able to acquire any cards because packs were sold out and reward cards had been given out already for most part because of the huge influx of players in past few months.
Looks like the devs have already implemented the new reward cards in Daily chests I believe, unless this card is part of the old reward set but I do not believe so.
This Charlok Minotaur is my first reward card acquired, he has 3 melee atk, 1 speed, and 10 hit points, with an 8 mana cost. He also has true strike which allows him to not miss which would be great versus a dodge team. At first glance he doesnt seem to be that useful as a main tank, but i believe he could be quite useful in certain battle environments, like i did play 2 battles so far where melee monsters could attack from any position, this ruleset would give this card usage I believe.
New reward cards as far as I have read are already part of the daily quest chests now, and at an increased drop rate up to 50% chance from 33% chance per chest. Also the new reward cards should be featured in this upcoming season rewards chest payout.
More Blessings Fam!
