Hello Splinterlands Summoners! Today at the end of the season the new reward cards are available. I have been saving Glints since last season for this update as I'm excited for the new reward cards. They bring fresh fun into the game with new abilities for possible synergies and team composition.

Opening 100 Rare Chests

I wanted to open a lot of reward cards so I decided to use my Glints to open Rare chests instead of Epic and Legendary which cost a lot more. My plan is to have a lot of Rare cards initially and build my deck from there. I spent 75,000 Glints to buy

Here are the cards that I got. Except for two cards, all were levelled up to 2. My plan is to have a level 4 of each and then I will start buying other rarities.

My Favorites

Out of the rare cards in the set, I'd be happy if I can get these to level 4 or higher.

A melee card that will work well with Tarsa. This is a high damage tank with good abilities. I like both the Flank and Retaliate abilites. This card will bring utility to other melee units in the Fire team without Reach abilities.

This card is probably the best Rare card in the set. At level 4 it will have 3 abilities and it has the stats for a good tank. The only thing missing in its kit is Void or Void armor to counter against magic attacks.

The second best Rare card in the set in my opinion. This will also have 3 abilities at level 4. While it does not deal as much damage, it has useful abilities for a tank like Thorns and Void. It also has the Close Range ability so card will also be useful in Ranged Only rulesets that we see often.

A tank that will be good in low mana battles. At 5 mana it has decent stats and although it has only 2 abilities, these are useful for its role in the team.

A high damage range card. As usual for Death Splinters, its abilities are focused on debuffing the enemy team. At level 4, it will have the Slow ability which will decrease the enemy's Speed by 1. On the other hand, this makes its first ability, also reduces speed by 1 every time it hits the enemy.

Conclusion

The new cards bring elements and fun into the game. It may take me several seasons to level up my new cards but this is what makes Splinterlands a fun and exciting game.

Thank you for reading and have fun with Splinterlands!
