I hit Champion 1 rank in Splinterlands for the first time ever tonight.

WOOOHOOO.

I definitely think that maxing out on my Yodin Zaku was a great investment. Fire featured prominently in my push to get to this new level, and I would not be anywhere near there without my Yodin. I considered buying these cards an investment, and gathered them over a few weeks when they were around $20 each. Some came from fiat investments, many came from STEEM power-downs, and the last one from a OTC trade with @dkid14 that also included a max level Magnor.

Yodin and Magnor teamed up in numerous battles to demolish their enemies, and really are a great complement. Watching Magnor enraged, with blast, trample and 11 melee attack demolish teams was a lot of fun.

My favorite battle in this little push was against @xabi, who also brought a Yodin to the fight. Here, Magnor was the difference, with his return fire showing another dimension to his talents, and the strength he can add under Yodin's control. Check out this link if you want to see that battle.


I know that Splinterlands has been in a bit of a correction phase of late, with the market cap of cards dropping significantly and DEC also down. One of the biggest whales in the game moving on and selling up their deck is hurting Splinterlands as an investment in the short term.

But, I think this makes now a great time to build up. Good cards are more available and less expensive, and opportunities to move up the ranks and strengthen decks are around. This adjustment phase will pass, and the forward momentum will resume at some time. I hope to build up my deck over the next couple of weeks, and try to make Champion 1 a regular place for my team.

Hmmm, Mimosa Nightshade is looking like a great buy now. That will be my next Splinterlands investment I think.

Thanks for reading this part gaming, part investment, part self congratulating nonsense post,

See you on the Splinterlands,

JK.
