Hello people of Splinterlands community! Guess what? I have finally leveled up my league, it was too hard but I still made it. So, I'm going to share my exciting battle with you guys! My journey through the leagues is moving forward nicely, to be honest when I lose the matches I always try to learn from my opponents and that helped me in every single match and I have gined more knowledge about the positioning and card synergy. Today's battle was an absolute monster of a match that pushed my tactical limits. So here am I breaking into Bronze II! Heavy Hitters and Gold Foil Luck!

Before entering the match, I used my daily free spin and my luck was with Lux's Favor. As you can see I have managed to secure a Battle Challenge reward granting +200 Sparks along with a nice +20 Bonus Sparks! I am definitely going to save these up and hopefully it's going to pay off later.

Battle Setup

This time I have found myself facing a massive 52 Mana Cap match! This match did not have any specific requirements, it's the usual which is Standard modifier, meaning there were no special restrictions or elemental bans. I really like this kind of freedom in matches.

My Lineup

With 52 mana to play with, as a beginner I always choose Earth-themed build because I have not disclosed myself to other abilities yet, as I already have really good cards for earth themed and that allowed me to bring out some massive high-mana cards. My full team only had costed 45 out of the 52 mana limit, it's because I don't look over the quantity but the quality.

Summoner: Aurelia (+1 Health)

Monsters:

1. Spellmonger (Lv. 1) – no attack
2. Vengeful Monk (Lv. 1) – melee
3. Grand Consul Minion (Lv. 1) – range
4. Dread Tafarian (Lv. 1) – melee
5. Time Bandit (Lv. 1) – magic
6. Wilhelmdale Deputy (Lv. 1) – range

Battle Progress

My opponent brought a fiery, aggressive lineup. But I knew my team was stronger because I chose to put Spellmonger right at the front as he is really good at defensive buffer and can absorb early pressure. On the other hand, my backline heavy hitters got into position.

I was a bit nervous because they brought heavy damage, so keeping Wilhelmdale Deputy protected in the very back row was a good decision, I learned to keep her back from my previous matches where I had lost. So, it came into help and gave uninterrupted ranged support. I appreciate the high health pool of my frontline elements and steady backline damage output, we managed to chip away at their formation steadily. It turned out to be a brilliantly executed strategy that resulted in a clean win!

Rewards and Progress

In the end, I have gained victory which has brought a huge milestone. I have easily earned another +20 rating points, which pushed my total rating to 360!
But the excitement didn't stop there. In my next few matches I won repeatedly and that triggered my promotion! I have finally leveled up from Bronze III to Bronze II!

After finishing the matches, there were some incredible loot waiting for me. I collected a set of x5 Bronze II Loot chests, and the pulls were absolutely insane across two separate reward openings:

My Pulls:

• Savage Butcher (Rare Orc)
• Ember Roast Sow (Rare Suidae)
• Dire Bear (Epic Mundane Beast)
• 1 Energy
• 1 Legendary Potion Charge
• Spitting Camel (Mundane Beast)
• A stunning GOLD FOIL Chaos Furybringer!

Here's the link of the rewards.

Pulling a Gold Foil card feels absolutely amazing and makes all the strategic grinding totally worth it. I think am slowly getting a hold on the game, in future I will be a professional player hopefully, I wish for the best. To be honest, it was a good match. Splitnerlands is pretty addictive and I think each gamer should try this for at least once. Before playing it, I thought it's very complicated but it's not. I just need to learn slowly and then it will become easier to understand. I think no one will understand by reading, only when you try it yourself then you can realize how good is this game. I am completely hooked on these high-mana battles and can't wait to see how my cards perform in Bronze II. See you all in the next update!
