This week's Splinterlands Community Engagement Challenge will be themed “Legends in the Making”. The goal is to talk about the #SplinterlandsJourney that the Splinterlands battlemage player has had from its beginnings to its future. So, you'll start by telling us a little about: your beginnings in the game; where you heard about it that led you to discover the game; when you started, what your current collection is. Then, tell us about your strategy to continue progressing in the game, and what you've been doing. Until the time comes to tell what the objectives will be for the future of this “Splintermon” journey (A joke with pokemon journey haha).
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]
The beginning of the BattleMage's Journey!

My first contact with Splinterlands was through some friends who were playing and said it was fun and that the cards are in the player's possession and that by playing you could earn some tokens for each victory. I found the idea of the game interesting and since I like card games I decided to give it a try. Initially I started in bronze, a ranking in which unfortunately I ended up staying for a long time due to lack of information. This was because there wasn't much information available and not as many tools as there are today. It was all trial and error and I couldn't keep testing various possibilities, which is why I stayed in the lower rankings for a long time.
At the time, the collection of the moment was Untamed, with some extremely strong combinations that I remember to this day. The best known - which I ended up not testing because it was very expensive to rent the cards and extremely unfeasible to buy - was the combination of Llama + Kron, in which the healing was so great that it would take an entire team to “try” to defeat this combo, requiring many debuffs to do so.
A combination that I used in Bronze/Silver was with one of the well-known Earth Summoners, Mylor Crowling. This summoner together with Unicorn Mustang formed a combination that could face any enemy team, because Mylor gave Thorns to all allies, allowing him to counter all melee enemies since this ability causes damage when a melee opponent attacks. As for the Unicorn Mustang, because it has a high speed (4), I was able to dodge most of the ranged attacks and, thanks to its Void ability, it countered mages, because it made it take 50% less damage from magic attacks. At the time, it was very common to see these two combinations being used in ranked, and this Mylor and Mustang combo was shared by another player in a post.
Glint Shop: Strategy to Evolve Cards!

My strategy to continue progressing little by little in Splinterlands is to accumulate Glint tokens through ranked matches and evolve my reward cards to the current level that my summoners can use them. The initial goal was to buy Common and Rare Draws to evolve the common and rare cards, one positive point is that it seems that the commons are already at a considerable level. So now the focus is on the rarest cards, starting with the rare ones that still need to go up 1 level on average and then looking for the epic card that is missing, which is the Thanalorian Blade, to have at least one copy of each epic card and have that flexibility in the choice.

Also, when completing the epics you will still be missing the legendary ones, which are more difficult since they are harder to find in chests and their cost in glint is gigantic. Recently, I was lucky enough to open some minor chests and got one of the legendary cards I didn't have, the Blackmoor Jinx, but I'm still missing a lot of legendary cards, such as: Endless Gibbon, Gallicus, Grifzi, Death Ranger, Syrenth and the Chaos Battle Mage. Among these missing cards, the main one I'm looking for is the Chaos Battle Mage, because it's Neutral and I could use it in all elements.
Future goals in Splinterlands
Thinking about the future of the game, I hope everything goes well with this upcoming marketing campaign and that's why I've been staking the little bit of my SPS rewards that I receive from Guild Brawls and also from Ranked rewards, to increase my Glint bonus and consequently be able to open more chests and evolve my cards and get the ones that are still missing.

Another thing I still need to learn is about Lands. I recently discovered on Twitter that there is a Splinterlands prefix title for those who have 5 Lands, which guarantees a 5% bonus in Ranked rewards, that is, more glint as well. However, the problem is that the subject of Lands is complex, requiring a lot of experimentation and experience. As soon as I have time to learn more about this subject, I hope to begin my new journey towards my first land and eventually reach the 5 to receive the title of Warden.
