Splinterlands play2earn game on the Hive blockchain is evolving continuously and with each release and a new layer added it becomes more complex. In order to be able to keep up with the tokenomics and also ensure good management of the NFT cards that we use to battle, I believe that the game needs to extend its card filtering in order to offer a better view to the players.

First of all, the Daily Focus implies specific card usage that will give the most points in order to earn the most Focus Chests. For example today I need to complete the Daily Focus by using Healing and the description for that is "A battle mage will rarely benefit from a prolonged fight against an opponent who uses spells of healing to sustain their forces. Practice using Tank Heal, Heal, Cleanse, or Triage to outlast your opponent in the arena." From this, it derives that good cards filtering within the Items -> Cards view would be to Filter by Ability. By having this each player can see based on the Daily Focus conditions, what are the best cards he can use in order to make the most of it.

Another improvement is to have the Filter cards by "Playable, Owned, All cards, For sale, Rented Out, Rented to me, Delegated out, Delegated to me, Soulbound, On Ethereum, On WAX" to allow Multiselection. Thing is that the Soulbound cards are for now Reward cards or Gladius cards. As you cannot use Gladius cards during Daily battles, a good Multiselection filter will allow a player to choose Soulbound + Rewards in order to retrieve just those cards.

Such filtering as presented above helps players to have a broader view of the missing at hand and allows them to strategize better before going into battle. This will improve their gameplay and make the game more exciting through forceful battles. As the competition is increasing in the game, using targeted filters will bring a punctual focus on what assets to use. This should be done in both the Cards view and also when choosing the Cards when the battles start.

Come join the amazing world from Splinterlands!
