Another Week, Another Drop... and My Leaderboard Dreams Are Slipping

avatar

Man, the weeks are flying by. Another week of the Rebellion pre-sale is in the books, and I can feel my spot on the leaderboard slowly slipping away... 😩
At the time of writing, we’ve got three more days before it all wraps up, and honestly? I’m starting to panic a little.

I’m still hanging on, but barely. Top 250 is where the magic happens, and I really wanted that exclusive title. But with how things are looking, I’m not sure if I’ll hold the line.

Do I go all in and find more DEC to stay in the game? Or just ride it out and see where the chips fall? I’m torn. I mean, fireworks are guaranteed on the last day. I’m already bracing myself for the massive pack-buying waves that are coming. šŸ˜…

CA Hits the Mavs Server šŸ”„

Okay, let’s talk about the good stuff. We finally got our first taste of CA — aka Conclave Arcana — on the Mavs Server!
If you’re not familiar, the Mavs server is an exclusive Discord space you can access if you meet one of these elite requirements:

  • Own 50+ land deeds
  • Have 250,000+ SPS staked
  • Hold 2.5+ million CP

Or, be an OG who bought 1,000 packs of one set from the company

I made it in thanks to my 250K staked SPS! šŸ˜Ž
So if you're in too, congrats fellow Mav!

All the CA Cards – Full Reveal by Element

There was an awesome stream with some Splinterlands influencers showcasing CA cards in live battle. Great vibes all around, and the hype is very real.

Now we've got full visuals of all the cards by element. Even if most of these have been teased or shared by influencers already, it's just so satisfying to see them all lined up like this.

The art team is seriously knocking it out of the park with these. Every set gets better, and CA is looking awesome.

Android App is BACK šŸ™Œ

Big win for mobile users — the Splinterlands Android app is finally released again!
And this time, it’s actually playable. šŸ˜‚

We’ve had some rough times in the past with the app. At one point, it was unusable. Then came the workaround via Hive Keychain app, which got us through. But now… we’ve got a legit standalone app again!

It’s running on the new tech stack they’ve been updating, and it’s a huge step forward. Seriously hoping this lowers the entry barrier for new players — because onboarding has always been one of the rougher parts of the game. Now, it’s as easy as downloading an app. That’s huge.

Last But Not Least: What’s This Secret Team Update?

So, there’s been some whispers floating around...
Something else is coming. No one knows exactly what it is yet, but the speculation is wild. Some are saying it’s an extra card. Maybe something you’ll be able to grab with DEC or Vouchers?

I even saw someone ask Grok (OpenAI's assistant) what it might be... lol.
Whatever it is, the team’s keeping things mysterious and letting the hype build naturally. Gotta admit — it’s working.

While writing it became more clear its the a new promo card that will be distributed in the CA pack šŸ˜.

This is the YabapMatt card that was a DAO proposal... i expected that this was going to be a voucher purchased card but its a extra card in the CA packs.

Distribution:
šŸŽ“ 1,500 Regular Foils
šŸ„‡ 30 Gold Foils
These are individual copies—and since it takes multiple to reach max level, that makes high-level versions extremely scarce.

The following versions will be max level cards straight out of the pack:
šŸ–¤ 5 Black Foils
✨ 5 Gold Foil Arcanes
šŸŒ‘ 1 of 1 Black Foil Arcane

Wrapping It Up

So yeah, tons of action this week —

  • CA is live on Mavs
  • We saw all the new cards
  • The Android app made a glorious return
  • And there’s mysterious news brewing…

Now excuse me while I go crunch some numbers and figure out if I can somehow magically get enough DEC to stay in the leaderboard race. šŸ˜…

How are you guys holding up? Planning a final day push? Or just vibing and stacking packs where you can? Either way, let’s enjoy this ride — the Conclave Arcana is almost here! 🧨

Regarding the 'grok' prediction from goldmatters, I want to share a true story. This is from my 14 year old daughter!

I was making a bunch of plots with projections… using chat gpt grok etc… she said…. Dad, imagine during the time of Galileo, they had internet and Chat bots. If you ask AI at the time what is the shape of earth, what would be the answer you would have gotten? Flat… correct?

I was stunned! :)

That is a smart answer and indeed it probably would have been the answer.

One can only imagine what comes next.
Frist we use computer for simple calculation
Then complex calculation
Now we let him come with answers based on what is learned and adapt on that.

When will the time come it truly create a innovative new concept/idea, that humans have not or could not think off... Interesting or Scary?

We live in a interesting time if you asked me.
