Splinterlands: Added another legendary card to my deck!🔥

Initially, I was waiting to earn a bit more Merit—I was at around 9,700, meaning I needed just about 300 more to open five Gladius packs at once. I had never opened more than four packs simultaneously before, so I wanted to break that record this time. However, since a new set of Brawl battles was starting today, I decided it was better to open four packs right away; leveling up even a few cards could give me a significant advantage in the game. So, while I didn't manage to set a record for opening the maximum number of packs at once, I did manage to pull a second Legendary card from the Gladiator cards set.

For a long time, I didn't know how to open packs all at once. So, for new players: by clicking the 'OPEN' icon in the top-left menu of the gaming site, you reach the page shown in the screenshot above. There, you click the 'Open Multiple' button, enter the total number of packs in the pop-up, and click the 'Open' button—this allows you to open all your packs simultaneously.

So, in just the first two sets, apart from six common and 'not-so-common' cards, I also pulled three rare cards and one legendary card. This marks my second legendary card from this set—yes, I previously had only one. Although its stats aren't particularly impressive for an attack card, its default 'Bloodlust' ability gives it a distinct edge, and its 'Protect' ability makes it a solid choice as well; it could prove especially useful in low-mana battles, potentially shining more through team protection than raw attack power. Furthermore, as I mentioned, most of the common cards boast better-than-average stats, and many are already part of my deck, which is a great bonus. As for the three rare cards—specifically 'Kotriphus Bayne' and 'Relenor Cleaver'—I plan to use them frequently; in fact, both are already in my deck and upgraded to Level 2, so these new copies are helping them progress toward Level 3.

The rewards in the next two packs are also quite good; generally, most cards in the Gladiator set are amazing. I pulled an Epic card, Edith Emberstar, which I’ve used frequently lately for power balancing, and its performance has been truly excellent. It’s currently at Level 1, but just one more copy will upgrade it to Level 2; this will boost its attack power from an already impressive 4-range attack to a 5-range attack. I also pulled a basic Rare card; costing only one mana, it is fantastic, especially for low-mana battles. Additionally, I got 8 Common cards across these two packs. Let me tell you something about the Common cards in my deck: they are all upgraded to Level 3, and one has even reached Level 4. Since the number of copies required for an upgrade increases with each level, these cards might not level up as frequently now, but the good news is that they keep getting better—which directly helps me improve my gameplay.

Splinterlands isn't an easy place, but that's what makes it even more fun. A perfect strategy takes into account many factors, including stats, abilities, rulesets, mana caps, and more. That's why it's even more important to consider all these factors when developing a strategy. Add good cards to your deck, but also work on improving your strategies, and strive to win as many battles as possible!🔥
