Full disclosure.. I wrote this a month ago and forgot to post it. Oops...

It is taking everything in my NOT to go back and edit each image to have the border line around them... So deal with my crappy screenshots.

I was going to post a different article for the Splinterlands Social Media Challenge this week but this one is even better because I would say by the end of this.. my LAND and Card Collection is a remarkable moment. But I guess that is what happens when you spend yet another $100 ingame on a shopping spree..

"Have you crafted something extraordinary within the Splinterlands realm?"

I like to think so!

YUP, I am back at it again. Another influx of crypto and another maybe bad idea. But hey that is what I do and I document it along the way. I have a general idea of what I wanted to buy and I knew I had just enough Ethereum to buy those things. But then I found a little extra "satoshi's" in the couch cushions. Which means... I get to have a little more fun with this Day 4 in the Series.

I will preface though, I have some big plans for my other 'fun-money' crypto after this so this may be the last "Whale For A Day" for a little while.

But enough talking... let's get into it!

We Started From the Bottom...

As always I need to document my account before I start spending the green!

Conflicts

The last 2 Whale Day's I bolstered up my Conflict Game a little. It could definitely use some work but for now it works for me. There is going to be 9 Conflicts so I got time baby.

LAND

I currently have 9 plots of Land. They all reside in Region #143 'Dryae Tor'. There is only ever going to be 150 Regions so Land is getting picked up quick these days... #Foreshadowing....

If you read my previous 'Whale For a Day' articles you know that I am trying to up my Land Game and get a Stone and Iron plot of Land so that I can be 100% self sufficient. Well it hasn't been going so well so far lol.

Yeah I know it's rough. The Staked DEC isn't a problem (anymore). It's just the fact that now I don't want to buy crap cards to level them up to use temporarily working on my land. If I am going to waste money to stake a NFT.. I might as well buy the good ones and slowly accumulate more of those good cards.

Account/Collection Power

I have been slowing growing my Main Account and I am pleased with it's collection power so far. But I do need to get it more better cards so that it can do better in WILD.

I do really like that last time I bought some SPS to stake. It was a BOSS level move!

What Is My Strategy Today?

I will let you in on my secret. I am going to go buy a crap ton more Plots of Land! I know, I know, you think I lost my marbles. But here me out here.

I have 9 plots in Dryae Tor currently and they are only 2 Grain, 1 Research, 1 SPS, and then basically the rest are WOOD. Which is No Beuno!

So I started to look at picking up a Stone plot in another Region and a Iron plot as well. But that is when I saw this...

Yeah you see what I am seeing? A lot of really cheap plots of LAND. I also noticed that Dryae Tor is basically 90% WOOD plots so like it's pointless to keep trying to buy plots there. I think the best course of action is to do this.

Region: Dryae Tor
Keep my Grain plots because they only require well Grain to operate.
Keep 1 Wood plot to require less transfers.
Keep my SPS and Research Plots because they are my nice plots.

Region: A Different Region TBD
Buy a Stone Plot
Buy a Iron Plot
Buy a Grain Plot
Buy a Wood Plot

That way this new Region I will not have to transfer in resources and have to pay the 10% fee. But I will have to pay the fee to move those resources to Dryae Tor for my SPS/Research Plots.

---

So I started looking at Regions that had the most plots for sale and had a Floor price of $20 or less. I thought I could be SUPER sneaky and find a Region that have 1 of each resource land for sale semi cheap. But that's a HARD NOPE.

So my new strategy is find a Region within the same Territory (Shimmering Coasts) that has a cheap Grain and cheap Stone plots. Then another Region that has a cheap Grain and cheap Ore plots. It requires like triple the amount of Grain plots which means triple the amount of staked DEC and staked cards. But this is what I get for waiting this long to be logical...

Searching for what I want is taking FOREVER. I am using MonsterMarket because the built in Splinterlands search function and UI is trash.

Briarwood #28

Thanks to @nozem01, he recommended Region #28. And low and behold I found a Grain and Ore plots for $50 or less!!

That is $49 or 55,211 DEC spent on those 2.

What is nice is that they both have the worksites built on them already!

Lunaden #59

I finally found another Region but it was pricey to get what I wanted. But it was the cheapest I could find.

1 Grain Farm and 1 Stone Mine plots for $60... ouch

That is 65,293 DEC spent on another 2 plots of land!

... I need a Mental Break. That was too much Brain Power. I will be back tomorrow.

Okay It's Tomorrow Now!!

Sorry you had to wait so long.

Now onto more fun things! When "Tasoshi Drakamoto" was released I managed to scrounge together some Vouchers and buy 1 of them. I didn't really use it that much but now that it got buffed and mana reduced. I really want a Level 2 card.

I mean just look at that beauty! And who doesn't like a Card Name that is a play on words based on the Founder of Bitcoin?

Which means obviously that I need to buy 3 more of the card!

It is a $4.50 card which can get pricey but I am a Whale today after all so YOLO!

Which set me back 15,001 DEC!

And when we combine our Zords...

Wait no that's not right..

When we combine with the Fusion Dance!

Shoot, not it either...

How about if we Let our Powers Combine?

DANG IT!

Okay whatever I am taking the 4 cards and making it into 1 card. Jeez that was hard.

Hot Potatoes, I love this card! Miss Drakamoto is a certified Bad-Bitch fo-sho!

Archon Time?

I went through my past bot battles in WILD to see what Archons it uses frequently. And beside the expensive Archon's, my bot has used these 3 Archons the most today. So I figured I would pick up enough of each one to level up my card to the next level.

Image	Card Name	Cost
	Lyanna Natura (Earth Archon)	2 for $0.538
	Delwyn Dragonscale (Dragon Archon)	2 for $0.52
	Obsidian (Gold Foil Earth Archon)	2 for $2.622

All 6 of those cards came out to be 4,147 DEC or $3.68.

Buying Gold

Now I am just going to go through and pick up cheap Gold Foil cards that I do not have yet. I figured it's a solid investment.

All of that for 20,306 DEC or $17.998

Then End (For Now)

With all of that out of the way I have spent 159,958 DEC. Which at the current price of $0.00088 that is $140.76 spent! I think that is enough for a day or two!

My conflicts didn't change which is fine.

But my Collection Power went from 187,040 to 198,020. Which isn't a ton but it's progress.

I already posted screenshots of my LAND but that is where the majority of my $$ was spent.
