Back at it again- My first Splinterlands Battle in a Minute

It has been a long time since I played splinterlands. My last battle was months ago and I have been putting off joining in on the Modern League. When I logged in, I had earned 144 SPS and I cashed that out for some SWAP.BLURT, UNICOIN and PEPE. This helped me grow a bit. I had around 12,000 DEC and 8,500 staked SPS when I checked my account so I was functional. I then decided to rent some cards.

Today I decided to take the plunge and joined up with the death League. The black shard is awesome, and I dumped around 6,000 DEC to rent a team to play for the next 12 days. I am a fan of renting cards, and I have Alot of fun on Splinterlands. I won't lie, it's not fun to lose and I remember some epic win streaks that didn't happen today, unfortunately.

I ended up losing my three matches. My new team is unfamiliar to me as I have mainly focused on the Earth and White shards and am new to the black team. This battle limited me to one card, and my opponent had one card only. I utilize the tactics mode to try to get an upper hand but I ended up failing. There is a steep learning curve for this shard and my intent is to continue going forward and play all the shards that I can. I will use post rewards to buy DEC and SPS to incrrase my ability to rent the highest level cards that I can.

In previous seasons I rented cards that were at the max level. This helped me get some awesome winning streaks and the black shard has been a lot to learn.

Wish me luck as I jump back into this awesome game. I will be buying some more SPA and DEC tomorrow with survey money and am excited to get back into it.
