Game of Fate: I won a valuable Black Arcane card in the weekly draw

How are you all, my gaming friends? I hope you are all well and healthy. I am also quite well by the grace of God. After a long time, I have come to you with another article. My article today is about my very favorite game, Splinterlands. Those of you who have read my previous articles know how much I love playing this game. But today's topic is a little different and quite exciting. Because I received a prize in the game that I did not expect at all. There is joy in playing games, but when an unexpected prize is received in the middle of that game, that joy increases many times. Today I will share that experience with you.

Different events or draws are held every week in the Splinterlands game. One such event is the Weekly Frontier Draw. Here, basically, some entries or tickets are collected based on the matches we play throughout the week and our performance there. I did not play much last week, so the number of my entries was very low. You may not believe it, but out of a total of more than seven thousand entries, I had only nine entries. So I thought I had no chance of winning here. Because winning something with only nine tickets in such a crowd is like a lottery. But when luck helps, even the impossible becomes possible.

I was surprised when I checked the results of the draw. I saw that I was one of the winners that week! And as a prize, I received not an ordinary card, but a Black Foil or Black Arcane card. The card is called Mad Gearhead. It is a card of the Goblin tribe and belongs to the Earth or green element. The card is incredibly beautiful to look at and has an aggressive feel to its design. The picture shows a green goblin sitting on a strange wooden vehicle, with sharp blades attached to the front. Just looking at it shows how effective it can be in battle.

After receiving this Mad Gearhead card, I took a good look at its stats and statuses. It costs 6 mana to use. That is, it is a card of medium cost. Its attack power is 2, which is quite good for melee or close combat. Its speed is 3, which can allow it to attack first on the battlefield. And the best part is its health, which is 7 points. I believe that it can survive on the battlefield for a long time because of having so much health.

However, the most interesting part of this card is its special ability. It has a reach. Usually, cards that attack melee or are placed directly have to be placed in the very front or first position. But because of the reachability, I can fight this Mad Gearhead card in the second position. It can attack the opponent's front card from behind the first card. This is a great advantage for tactical players. Because many times we want our strong tank card to be in front and someone else to help from behind it. This card can do that job very easily.

When I checked the current market value of the card, I saw that its estimated value is around $6. It is really a blessing to get such an expensive card for free while playing the game. For ordinary players like me, it is a big deal. Because we do not always have the ability to buy cards with money. So when such rewards come from within the game, the deck or collection of cards becomes stronger. This card is a level 5 card, so its effectiveness will be much higher than a normal level 1 card.

I am already thinking about how I will use this card in my next matches. Especially when a summoner with healing or healing ability is used with the Earth element, such high-health cards become very annoying for the opponent. Because it will be very difficult to kill it. Moreover, its good speed will also reduce the chances of missing. All in all, I feel like this week's draw has been a blessing for me.

The game Splinterlands surprises me again and again. I have not found the fun of card collection and trading in any other game. And such surprise gifts or prizes increase the interest in playing the game even more. I had only nine entries, but I won. This means that everyone has a chance to win here, whether they are new players or old ones. All you need to do is participate regularly.

I am ending this here as it is today. Do let me know how you liked this little experience of mine. Those who have not played Splinterlands yet can start if they want. Who knows, maybe next week you will also win such a great card. Everyone, stay well, stay healthy, and take care of yourself.
