I had been sharing my season reports every season. I used to do this before a year or so where I used to share my daily quest report but now I'm doing only 15 days once sharing my season rewards. I have slowly started spending more time arranging my deck and managing my assets on Splinterlands. I personally feel that Splinterlands is becoming our safe zone for big investments these days. The investment is moving only in the upward direction and not downward. The team is coming up with exciting features to keep the game interesting for the players and attractive for the investors.
I had been thinking about maxing out some of my cards so that I can easily enter a diamond level or even champion level every season. I guess a maxed-out deck gives more opportunity than a normal deck. I know people are even playing with full maxed-out cards. I guess it will take a lot of money to invest and build a deck like that. Nearly 6 months back it was only 2000 $ - 3000 $ to create a maxed-out deck. Today we cannot even purchase maxed-out summoners with that money. The asset price has grown to more than 60% from that price.
Someone investing around 60k should be able to have a decent deck. Some of the experienced players here will be able to give some directions on what would be the best cards to max out and what would be the cards to ignore. There are quite a few cards that nobody plays. There are also cards that are choice-based. Some people play regularly with some cards and some people ignore those cards completely. That's the beauty of this game. So many permutations and combinations to increase our chance of winning.
Season end rewards
Though the season-end rewards are the most exciting thing, the game is transforming into a platform that provides not only battle facilities but also different flavors of opportunities. Someone who would like to get started and invest in the game can take any of the below as their investment option.
SPS investment
Purchasing cards and Renting cards
Trading cards and fungible tokens like DEC and SPS for a good price
Spending time playing the game and earn rewards
DeFi in the form of SPS staking
Coming back to the rewards, I guess the rewards from the last season were not very great. I did not get any card that was better than Rare. I did get a few rare cards but no legendary or epic cards. I hope next season gives a better outcome. I'm thinking of increasing my strategy or changing my strategy for climbing up the league.
All the cards that we see above are the new reward cards. I guess we will not be getting the old reward cards anymore. This is a good thing because the old reward cards will start getting better in terms of price. I already see a good price for some of the cards I remember selling for about 0.02 cents. Today they are all over 1$ per card.
Income from rental markets
Right now I have been playing the game only on one account. Earlier I used to play the game on the main account and have the extra cards kept in a different account. Now I have arranged the deck in such a way that I have moved all my cards to one account and from there I'm delegating the cards to my second account and playing the second account. The cards that are extra and are no longer required go for renting.
Last season the rental income was close to 25k DEC and a month before that the rental income was close to 50k DEC. This month the rental income is only 17k DEC. From what I observed, people are not crazy about renting nowadays especially when new reward cards started coming to the market. But there are still people renting better cards in the market either to increase their collection power or to go up the ladder. In that case towards the end of the season, the rewards are still better from renting and that's how I was able to get 17k DEC from the rental market. At the current market price 17k DEC is close to 150$ which is a very good passive income once in 15 days. I hope this continues.
