Spending GLINT in Reward Shop

Hello Splinterlands and Hive Fam!

I hope life is treating you well wherever you are in this part of the world, and that the weekend is going great.

My Splinterlands Game account is - FinPulse9.

Glint is the token we earn for each winning battle and after the season ends. It's good to earn as much as possible because it's a reward token that we can use in the reward shop to buy different cards. I think it is good practice to buy cards regularly because it lets us add more cards to the game account, which increases the overall account value, and we can continue to grow the collection. It is obvious that not every card we can buy from the reward shop, but still at least there are some good cards which can be purchased, and we can also increase the level so slowly and gradually it is going to make things better as a player, where I can have a good card collection to play on the battleground.

While I take the cards on rent, my strategy is that in the long run, I will try to build my own card collection so that I am less dependent on the rental market. When my rental cost reduces, then I can get some bandwidth to buy cards from the market as well, and this way I'm thinking of building my card collection, which can be sufficient for me to play independently with either no dependency on the rental market or, in case it is there, then it has to be less than what I am doing these days.

Today I thought of buying 25 cards from the Epic Card Collection using the glint token, so the cost of 25 cards is 375K glint tokens. This entire process is very easy and smooth. I have done it in less than one minute, and I was able to see which cards I have received out of these 25 cards. Although I did not get anything in the gold collection, it is not bad, and I also find that these cards are good, which I am trying to add up and also continue to accumulate more.

How about the cards that I have received out of the 25 cards that I purchased? Since these are from the latest edition, I'm not very familiar with these cards, to be honest, but I'm trying to be because there are some cards with new abilities, and since I'm not using these cards for gameplay, I need to learn about them. I currently play in the Wild format, and that is why I am more familiar with those cards, but still, all cards are valuable in the game, no matter which part of the game I play. Maybe in the future I will think about playing in the modern format when I see more reduction in the reward, but I think the reward in the Wild format is not bad, and that is why I continue to play, even after paying the $2 for the season cost; it still makes sense to me. Thank you!
