This week I claimed $22.69 in fees, a noticeable drop of over 50% compared to last week due to lower trading volume across the crypto markets. Despite this, my four concentrated liquidity positions (CLPs) have remained in range for three weeks straig...

If there is one thing, I have learned from playing for years, it is that some cards never truly go out of style. Enter The Kraken - a beast of the sea, a legendary tank, and one of my absolute taunt tanks in high-mana battles. Do you want a damage sp...

Survival Mode in splinterlands is no joke. Every match you play comes with real consequences - lose, and your defeated cards enter cooldown, locking them out for the rest of the season (or until their cooldown expires). Last week, I wrote about my fi...

When Survival Mode was announced, I was excited and hopeful. I had previously written about why I thought it could be important, bringing more utility to older cards. So, when it finally dropped after the last season ended on February 27th, I jumped...
