Another week in Splinterlands, we have the Social Media Challenge event, whose goal is to share valuable insights and experiences with the NFT game with the community. So, this week, I'll be sharing with the community an upgrade I made to my deck using the Rebellion reward cards and some Gladius Case packs. After accumulating a significant amount of Glint again, I opened 10 Ultimate Chests and 2 Epic Draws, receiving a pleasant surprise. Come learn more about the deck upgrade and the cards that came with it!
I'll be much appreaciated if you Upvote, Reblogs or give any Tips ( PIZZA 🍕, PGM 🎮, LOLZ 😆, ALIVE ❤️, etc ). Thanks and have good reading! 🍀
[ENGLISH VERSION]
Glint Shop - Thanalorian Blase & Kha'Zi Conjurer Gold
After accumulating a good amount of Glint, I decided to try my luck at hitting a Jackpot! in the Ultimate Chest. Unfortunately, it seems this strategy hasn't been successful, as nothing has come out to compensate for the glint expenditure. The result was a lot of potions, 4 energy, a few common cards (9x Chaos Evoker and 7x Drybone Hobgoblin) and rare cards (7x Razorhound), and a few merits (almost 6,000). It definitely wasn't worth the glint expenditure on the ultimate chests. Theoretically, 10x chests should bring a 1% jackpot chance, which is low, but overall it's been pretty poor compared to the other rewards.
Furthermore, one way to improve your deck more accurately is through Reward Cards, obtained through Glint Shop Draws. With that in mind, I used the rest of my Glint to achieve two Epic Draws, aiming to get at least one copy of each card, and luck was on my side this time. That's because the only Epic card missing to have at least 1 BCX of each was the Thanalorian Blade, and it was precisely this one that came in one of the Epic Draws.
The Thanalorian Blade is an Earth-elemental card, costing 6 mana, with a very good kit for its cost. It has the opportunity ability that targets the opponent with the lowest health, and has good stats: 2 melee attack, 1 shield, 5 HP, and 3 Speed. Normally, cards with this ability have lower HP or lower speed; this one is good in all stats, even having a bonus shield.
But it didn't stop there. I also managed to get a Gold Foil version of Kha'Zi Conjurer, which is selling for a high price on the marketplace. However, it's worth remembering that to unbind a soulbound card, you need to pay a DEC fee, which increases with rarity.
Gladius Case - Jini Guise
Besides collecting glint, I also ended up collecting a good amount of merits to open everything together and upgrade the deck in one go, optimizing the time. In total, I opened 12 Gladius cases, most of which were common and rare cards, with only one card standing out. The card was Jini Guise, an earth-elemental legendary, which was extra special because it was one of the cards I didn't already have in my collection. In Splinterlands, the more variety of cards you have, the more compositions you can build for each specific situation, since each match is unique due to the rules, mana pool, available elements, and different opponents.
The interesting thing about Jini Guise is that she's a mage card that has excellent compositions for the earth element, such as when paired with Summoner Obsidian, which grants +1 magic damage. She ends up working as a great card for magic DPS, reaching 2 magic damage with a buff, which increases even further with Bloodlust if she manages to eliminate an opponent in her attack. Finally, in addition to DPS, it also acts as a support card with the protects ability, which grants +2 shield to allies. Best of all, it does all this for only 4 mana.
