I felt it was time to explore more details and see how I could become a strong player. As always before diving into anything new I like to do some look up first and I started watching videos about the game and reading posts here on hive from players with experience. After a bit of research it became clear that to compete strongly, you need cards that help you in races and give you additional advantages.
I was torn between buying packs or separate cards, and I remembered Splinterlands, which has a similar situation. Opening packs be a good opportunity to get rare and powerful cards but at the same time so there's a chance of luck and you may open a pack and not to get anything good and also the biggest problem is that when I went to the shop and I found that most of the packs had been sold. Even if I wanted to try my luck, that opportunity wasn't available right now.
Since packs weren't an option, I decided to go to the market and buy cards directly. After researching and reading about the best options, I settled on two very popular cards everyone is talking about: Astrokart and Blaze. These cards not only look great, but they also have a strong reputation among players due to their unique abilities that help you excel in races.
Now I need to choose some more cards, and I'm even more excited to start using them in races and see if they really make a difference. Was it a successful move? I'll soon discover that as I try to enter the competition more strongly and have a good amount of cards to be with me during playing and hoping also these cards become more rare and not to be many in circulation.
