Taking the plunge – My first step into Splinterlands land ownership

SOURCE

For those who’ve been around Hive for a while, you’ll know I’ve been playing Splinterlands since the early days—pushed into the fray by none other than @mattclarke (and no mate, I still haven’t forgotten what you did for me, thank you again). Over the years I’ve built up a solid deck, grown my collection, and enjoyed the ebb and flow of battle, but one area I’d never properly explored was… land.

I’ve always had the cards to stake, and I’ve watched from the sidelines as other players began reaping the benefits of land ownership. Still, I just never felt motivated to take the leap. Maybe it was the learning curve, or maybe it was just good old-fashioned procrastination.

Well, that changed today.

With a little nudge from @buggedout—who, by the way, has become my go-to guy for anything Splinterlands these days—I decided it was finally time. I bit the bullet, jumped in two feet first, and bought my very first plot of land.

And honestly? I’m already seeing the benefits.

There’s something incredibly rewarding about staking your cards and seeing them generate value beyond the battlefield. Land has opened up a whole new layer of strategy and depth for me. It’s not just about winning matches anymore; it’s about contributing to the economy of the game, building resources, and long-term rewards. It feels like I’ve unlocked a part of Splinterlands I should have explored a long time ago.

This marks a new chapter in my Splinterlands journey. I’m still learning, still experimenting, and still turning to the community for guidance (cheers again, @buggedout). But if you’ve been on the fence like I was, maybe this is your sign to take that step.

Land is the future—and I’m finally staking my claim.
