Splinterlands: The Great Season's End + Why the Recent Strange Changes?
I didn't do a splinterlands Season's roundup for last two season ago, and that was because the glint reward was very underwhelming and I incurred a lot of losses in the process.
However, the recently concluded season was fantastic; I earned more SPS rewards because I received a 10k SPS delegation for placing among the top three performers in my last Guild outing.
Although I received these delegations two days before the end of the season, they helped me earn more Glint and improved my SPS reward. Although I was already doing well for the season, I believe it showed in my Guild outing.
Splinterlands is an emotionally charged game that can be overly enjoyable. Last two season, I was beaten by 70% of opponents I faced, this just concluded season, I beat over 70% of the opponents I faced and it was awesome overall.
Two GF EPIC at once!
So, for the first time, I earned more than 50k Glints (53k to be exact, 106k) for shopping, and I finished the season with two GF epic cards despite only purchasing 6. What are the odds? It is the first time I have been so lucky getting a GF night reaper and shock trooper.
Although I already have the shock trooper at level 3, getting a GF is rare, and even if I do decide to burn it, I will do so for 12500 Glints. Cool! However, I would rather not burn them because they are probably a trophy for my cabinet.
Getting another one in the night reaper was amazing; I only have my regular foil at level 2, so the system will automatically select my GF night reaper when playing, allowing me to earn more SPS rewards for automatically fielding gold sets.
The season got better
Thanks again to my Guild emp-warden for the 10k SPS delegation. I know I will lose it in a few days, but it is provided a significant boost in the final days of the season.
Chimney wallstop
I upgraded my cards, but nothing serious. The only credible thing to mention about my upgrades is that my chimney wallstop now has a repair ability at level 5.
I use the chimney a lot, so I am excited that one of my favorite cards is getting a new ability; it is time to bully some opponents.
Rare Collection
My rare collection is looking great. Although I have burned almost all of the GF rare and common cards because I prefer to upgrade the standard versions. So I do not have any GF rare, despite having collected a lot over the last few months.
However, my standard collection is not looking too bad, as I now have over 75% of my rare cards at level six.
They only need two more levels to be maxed out, but it will most likely require more Glints, as doing so will not be easy.
However, some of them will likely not receive another cool ability until they reach level 8, which is why maxing them out is critical; it simply gives you an advantage over certain opponents.
Why are we all starting from bronze 3?
Or is it just me?
Finally, I noticed something bizarre. I finished the season in Gold 2, and instead of starting at Silver 1, I was moved back to Bronze 3. Starting the season here means I will earn almost nothing in Glint and SPS, which is really not cool.
Second, it has been difficult to climb out of there because there are so many max level decks fighting to get off. I really want to know if anyone knows why they suddenly made this atrocious change, because I've been really wondering why.

Ah lots going on with Splinterlands. I’m so out of the loop! Lol. I don’t even know if my rentals are still active I’ll have to take a look in a few days once I get my computer back online.
Splinterlands is for sure one of those hit or miss games (pun intended) where it can be great and exciting or very frustrating lol
Yeah, you should check it out. I think your rentals might not be renting anymore because a lot must've happened. I still enjoy playing the game, it's just a hit or miss sometimes like you've said

STOPWow, nice job on your openings on the reward cards. Two gold foil epics is amazing. Also, nice job on getting Chimney to repair. It's an amazing card to use when it can stack up that bloodlust and hit.
I also don't understand the rules now - I spent the last season in the diamond, although I was always in the champion. Where is the button to play in the champion? Or how to achieve this now?
!BEER
Great job! I haven't done wild in some time, but I started playing modern when I rent up some cards for the brawls. All pretty much cheap Chaos cards, but I went from silver to diamond in the season. My SPS stack sucks though, only 10K so I earn very little.
The gold epic pulls were awesome, I like shock top. I wish they would make another card like alric for water that could be used in modern. Oh, well!
Great job!
The epic GF pulls are nice, and pulling two of them even if I've not previously gotten any GF epic since the inception of this reward set.
Alaric? Is that not the legendary water summoner? Although I might be mistaken?
Alric is a rare water summoner with +1 magic attack. Paired with Oshannus, Ruler of the Seas, Nerissa, Phantom of the Abyss he can be useful. Not at good as Valnamor with the magic, speed, and health boost though!
Yeah I know the Alaric, I actually thought it was a legendary. I lose to it almost all the time.
It's a great card and usually really cheap to rent
I read something about this, but I thought it was related only to Survival mode. In that case (survival mode) they said that if you hadn't played any game yet in the new season, they'll move you to the right starting league. I don't know what happened for Wild, I started where I should have...
It's crazy why it happened that way, but I actually saw Max level decks playing in bronze. I want to believe it's a general thing
As you lose it, you can also win it again😀
I also saw someone complaining about the end of season ratings drawback, it was more than it used to be, I didn't really notice it though but i think it was general.
Thank you you. The moment I saw accounts with max deck playing in bronze, I knew it had to be a general thing, but I was disappointed because I did well in the previous season
