Hi splinter fam,

Welcome to my blog for a weekly dosage of splinterlands content. Lately, my blog has been dry and I dont like it but then it seems I can't find the time to make my blog as active as i will like. A few years ago, I was making 2 posts per day and all of a sudden even to make one post per week seems to be a very big challenge. Life is so unpredictable at this point. I either plan to write a blog the entire day and then suddenly gets too busy to even remember that I have to write.

Maybe starting on the 1st of this new month will be enough motivation for me to continue writing and keep my blog as active as i will like.

Today is the day for the social media challenge. As I do most of the time this will be about one of my battles. I did play a few games today and I enjoyed one in particular so I want to talk about it. With a lot of changes coming to spl do you still enjoy the game as much as I do? One thing I'll keep saying is that there is nothing like "you're so good". Yes you might have been good a few years back but if you come back to the game all of a sudden youll feel like a complete stranger. This is because new set of cards might have been introduced and the strategies with which you used those older version of cards would have been figured out.

Let's get into it. So the season has ended and as usual i was able to make it to the leaderboard. I got glint rewards which I hardly use these days. I used to buy cards and energy with them. Now that I have most of my cards at max level I dont really need to have them and then I dont play as much as I used to so at the end of the day I dont even need more energy.

So this also means i am in gold I. In gold one you have to play with 3 rulesets. The rulesets were up to eleven, broken arrows and global warming. With the up to eleven ruleset, it means all units have amplify, the broken arrows mean no range attack cards can be used. The global warming ruleset also means all units have the burning status effect applied at the start of battle. What this means is that at the start of each round all cards will loose 2 health unless cleansed. Having amor doesn't protect your health from this effect.

With a the burning effect ruleset its also best to go for cards that have good health. Going for cards with a little as 5 or 4 health will mean that the probability of those cards dying off in round 2 is very high.

So for my summoner I went in for Bella ratajowlkis. This is a life card which has the deflect ability and other good effects. The only reason why I choose this card is its deflection ability.

I had a mana of 29 at my disposal and I wanted to get as many cards as I could in my line up so I choose cards with little mana and good health as well.

My first card was halfing refugee. Next in line was warwall juggernut, meriput magician, stampeding calf, happy quokka and ujurak elder. 4 out of my 6 cards were melee cards and the rest were magic cards. My card with the least health was a magic cards who died off pretty easily.

I won this match pretty easily but it had to be for 5 rounds. It was a game that I enjoyed winning and you can watch the game in the link here.
