Revisiting the Splinter

I have said so many times that I will play Splinterlands again. But I always end up playing Mobile Legends instead. I guess for my case even though I "earn" in Splinterlands, I still miss the non-earning pressure of simply wanting to rank up in other games (which is still hard).

I get enthused to check Splinterlands every time I read from this guy I see in noise. And some other players as well. They talk about the changes and how exciting and if it is fair and all. The thing is, I get excited with any change. Whether it is fair or not, I really am honestly unsure at this point. The real deal is if I still get excited to play.

Oh! But. It. Looks. Nice!

So turns out the update clears up the logs from before. And I am also starting from the bottom. I do not mind that. Besides every season start, you start at the closest bottom you can based on your previous season's performance. So since I have skipped a lot of seasons already, it is no surprise I am in Novice.

It took me a while to start playing. I took in the graphic, explored the air drop if I still get to claim some since my friend previously said I think it is one of the things that were stopped. Or that he may have misunderstood or I may have misunderstood what he misunderstood.

Not dwelling much on what we misunderstood, I proceeded with staking, checking the dollar equivalent and "yay!" for 12USD.I know most rich gamers would say that is nothing compared to your billions. But hey I still got mine just from clicks. Not converting that yet, though. Save for the fact that I have not explored that yet, I really have no intentions at the moment to convert.

One of the new stuff I noticed was the WILD and MODERN. The difference is explained in the info box. I've read it once or twice but the info did not stick to my reservoir just yet. Maybe because I am unaffected with the cards mentioned. Either way, I'd be able to play my normal cards on both.

I tried WILD just because it sounds, well, "wild". First match after long hiatus, I lost. Nasty fire lineup for a 13-mana I did not see coming nor did I expect to win against my top 1. OR I may have confused my line up.

My 13-Mana is Life. Recently added to my list. The other line up in my 13-mana list is Earth with Mylor Crowling but I do not have him yet. The other is Earth again with Scarred Llama Mage. I may have messed up my 13-mana lineup because I know I mentioned a 13-mana lineup in my Hive somewhere there.

Anyway, not wanting to quit just yet and because I seldom have the luxury of time these days to "hang out" online, let alone, type up any article, I might as well explore more. And suck it up if I end up losing. It is not like there is a level lower than Novice anyway.

So I switched to MODERN. Kinda also feels like it is the "normal" mode. Says me fooling me. I clicked "Battle" et voila! Now my Battle Log is not empty and also not painful to the eyes and the pride.

My lineup so far for Death and Water seems to not file me.

Just in case you'd want to know:

Mana 16 for Death is this:

Summoner - Thaddius Brood

In other positions and in order : Cursed Windeku, Xenith Archer, Death Elemental and Carion Shade (I still don't know what he does and why he needs to be at the last position but he contributes I guess in this lineup).

For Mana 30 Water, this is the lineup I used:

Summoner - Kelya Frendul

In other positions and in order: Diemonshark, Deeplurker, Feasting Seaweed, Merdaali Guardian and Scavo Hireling.

Somehow their harmony works. This is not my first goto lineup for water but I think it may have defeated my lineup with Djinn Oshanus in it. So to reaffirm that the lineup that defeated me was not "just lucky" I placed it at number one and so far, it has given me lots of wins in the past.

Hah! Not bad for revisiting the game. Too bad I will be out for the weekend and might be able to come back Sunday night. Not sure if I am up for a Splinter game then but I might try.

Article done. Revisiting games done.

I think I am done for today! Hurray! Now to get back to busy....

What have you been up to?
