Splinterlands: You Can't Own Enough SPS
The last splinterlands season was a good one. I met my goal of 40k glints and went on to earn up to 43.4k Glint. I earned more SPS because I believe I played with more gold cards than two seasons ago. It was not intentional; I simply believe that my strategy included using my gold level 2 Possibilius the wise frequently throughout the season.
However, I was unable to finish in Gold 1, which would have been the highlight of the season for me. Earning more Glint also resulted in more SPS due to the use of gold cards.
I pretty much have the same amount of staked SPS because I have not purchased any in a long time. SPS is the real deal for earning more SPS and Glints. You are better off renting or purchasing more SPS, which will allow you to buy more powerful soulbound cards.
The shop now has the option to buy even gold foil of any cards you want, and this allows you to have more SPS rewards (which are the only rewards with dollar value).
SPS Business 4 months ago
If you purchased SPS 4 to 5 months ago when it was at an all-time low, you should be in a massive profit by now. I did make a purchase during that time period, but it was insufficient.
I am sure the amount of SPS I bought back then was not more than $20, but they should now be worth close to $40, which I believe is a lot.
Imagine slapping 200$ back then into SPS, it would have been one decent sum for me, but I didn't have the funds, secondly, it was a falling knife, and many people were FUDing it back then, so what I used back then was dispensable.
EPIC soulbound cards
Now, back to the end of the season. My goal was to buy as many epic cards as possible. Why? I was one card away from getting Olivia to level 2, and I promised myself that I would get up to 8 epic SB cards and that I would keep shopping until I ran out of Glints, unless I could get one more copy of Olivia to level 2.
Level 2 Olivia Of The Brook
However, luck smiled on me, and the first four EPIC SB cards I received included one BCX of Olivia, and you can imagine my delight when I finally got it.
I was determined to have Olivia with a mimic ability 🧠for the next season. So I decided to put it to the test. To be honest, I lost the first two games I used it in because I was too eager to use it and lacked the proper strategy.
The mimic ability is similar to using the opponent's strategy against them, but sometimes you need a solid strategy so that Olivia can mirror all of your opponent's abilities and destroy them.
However, after taking a few hours off, I tried it with a better strategy, and my mind was blown away. It is an ability thief, the true Robin Hood of cards. My opponent had no idea what was coming, and I virtually destroyed everyone I played against.
So that was the pinnacle of my season. Of course, winning means more SPS, and I am curious to see how this new ability in my life splinterlands will help me this season.
Common & Rare Cards
I purchased other common and rare cards from the store, but I am only going to discuss my epic cards because this is the section that seems to pique my interest. I already have some common and rare cards at level 5 and 3, but no legendary cards.
Contrary to my previous belief, there are legendary cards with some great abilities, but you need to have them at levels 2, 3, and 4 to unlock these abilities, and given that one legendary BCX costs 35k Glint, I would rather not go there right now.
Gladius Cards.
I bought and opened about four Gladius cards and received one legendary card. The dragon splinter, Larissa Kerato.
I can play this in all elements as long as I have a dragon summoner, and I like the double magic strike. It is the first time I have owned this card; I know other players have it, but it is my first time having it, so it is an interesting addition for me.
So, I am excited to see what the new season has in store.

Nice pull on Larissa, I don't have that one! I'm keeping my SPS for now, and have been for months. I did sell quite a bit when it was at three and a half cents sometime back. It's hanging onto a about one cent, hopefully we'll see some improvement! Great to hear that you liked Olivia, mimic is a pretty cool ability. One card I would love to have is Elanor Bravefoot, zero mana and at level 2 she gains one ranged attack for each of the monsters you put out in the match. Only problem is she's $50 a copy and you need three to reach level 2. Not in my immediate future investment at that price!
I think my SPS is worth about $100 now, but I'm hanging onto it. Let's see what happens!

So basically you'll need 150$ for what Eleanor? That's quite steep and maybe you can be able to afford that in the bull run. The ability you talked about seems really good and I think with zero mana, can make a really big differences in games.
For me, I don't have enough SPS too. It boils down to having spent too much on medical bills and co, so. But probably someday.
I think the Larissa is a hard card to pull, imagine after opening packs for over 2 years, I still don't have it, till now.
$150 is just too much for me right now, it's a game changer though in it's ability and mana. Plus I worry that it will get the eventual card price drop that has happened to all of the Splinterlands cards.
You have to take care of your health first, if you're dead it doesn't matter how much SPS you have piled up!

Olivia is a good card to have, I also do not have a maxed one yet but i believed by next season I should get that, it is already in level 5... so just a few more bcx are needed to max it... I set a target for sps i want to own but I doubt i will be able to achieve that before sps bull run but then we can only wait and see... May the bull reach sps too
Congratulations in advance. Maxing out the Olivia is not an easy feat as it's quite rare getting it in the shops as well. I think SPS has made some great recovery. Unfortunately I'm not financially capable enough to actually get the amount I'll actually have loved to have. Let's see how high it goes in 2025
imo sps is still very low! still buying and will stop when it hits something like 0.02, my buy zone is 0.01 and below... so yea let's see how far it can go... and also I think the bull run that will hit sl will target sps... no hope on the cards but we never can tell...just my own prediction

After I max out my first legendary card (which may be this season or the next one), epic cards will be my next focus. Olivia seems like a card that's nice to have at a high level. Congrats on leveling it up!
Congratulations, I don't have any legendary cards, so I think you've prioritized the legendary cards which is good. Thanks a lot. I'll be looking forward to when you start shopping for epics cards
Yes, I started with legendary cards, because those gave me the most trouble to complete on the last set (and in the end didn't, I still had 2 that weren't maxed).

I think you had a pretty good season. I think getting to Gold I is rough. I gave up and stopped as soon as I hit Gold II due to what happened to me during the season before. I still think the fights give you a decent amount of rewards so long as you use up your energy without it being overfilled.
Yeah, it's a decent amount of Glint and I'm happy to have been able to get SB cards with them. I make sure to use up my energy and have them refilled at the appropriate time

Thanks a million
SPS is STILL at all time lows!
1 cent is absolutely nothing and an abysmal price compared to literally Anytime before the absolute low we got a few months back.
Last year of 1.5cents is where I believed the bottom would be at and then we got the pump to 3 cents- to then fall 80% to the current pricing.
Seriously, If you consider it to be "Missing out" because the current price is a penny... Change that perspective - It is still at all time lows.
SPS WILL pump to 10cents overnight - and you will be regretting "Missing out" on those pennies.
Good luck!
No one is currently regretting not aping into SPS at least not me. I was buying SPS when there was no motivation to actually do so. In reality, I think I agree it'll pump to 10 cents, I was talking to someone about it yesterday.
This is nice...
Congratulations on your reward...
I'm still learning more about splinterlands, i just learnt something new today, thanks to you.
It's an exciting game that needs attention, investment and learning. I've been playing for 3 years now.
Congrats on your end of season. It is hard to time the market, buying SPS near the bottom would have been a dream. This is a great time to profit from crypto. Nearly everything is going up.
I did buy for just under 10 to 20$ when it was at the bottom, I can't place my finger exactly. The only pain I have is not looking for the resources to go in big. I could have been in profit.
I did put a little bit into SPS at the bottom, but wasn't enough :) Hopefully these one-cent SPS levels will look really cheap six months from now...
I think you're right. In 6 months time getting SPS at one cent currently would look very cheap. The bull run would've done some decent numbers on it I believe.
Congrats on the reward, at least it was a bit more Glint this time.
Thank you, yes, more Glint rewards
These are great rewards to share here, congratulations my friend
