Splinterlands: The Element Of Excited Uncertainty (EOS)
It's another splinterlands' end of the season and as always it's that time when people are ecstatic and curious to see how their efforts might have potentially paid off. One of the most exciting things about splinterlands' is the fact that the expectations of uncertainty often come with the hope of luck.
This means that every little move, every little investment, and every aim to squeeze out value is often a preparation for the greater good. We must admit that there's no certainty to rewards even if our investment moves are a surety. This is why a lot of splinterlands players are always hopeful rather than entitled every end of the season. In reality, this goes against the onus of conventional investing.
Death to entitlement....
The truth is that, when we spend money, we become entitled and this is because it took a lot of bravery, or it takes a lot of bravery to be an investor in the first place, but over time we've come to understand that this isn't how it works with crypto and blockchain projects that are backed by crypto.
A #Play2earn game such as splinterlands can be vastly rewarding, but it's impossible to measure the degree of the reward, but one thing is that the higher you invest, the higher your investment can go always counts for something. This is why there's curiosity every end of the season. Everyone is hoping to get something better, maybe a pack, a sweet gold foil, some stash of decent SPS, less merit, and a potion, and maybe get a rare card they've been willing to own for a long time.
The feeling is immeasurable. The uncertainty of rewards is why splinterlands' is addictive, there's no certainty to anything, and this takes away the boredom of knowing it all.
Although, some people might slightly disagree and this is because they want to multiply the outcome of their investment in every situation, but sadly one can only do this with conventional investments. Sorry for going off point.., it's that time of the season again when I'm happy that this season's reward is better than the last.
Although this might be because of the level 3 gold foil Djinn Murat that was delegated to me by @lordtimoty halfway through the end of the season. Hahaha, I go a taste of silver two, even if I can only compete at silver three with my 21k collection Power.
That djinn Murat
Still feels weak after level 2
The gold card made maximum difference
Believe me it didn't feel special because I was used to playing everyone in the Silver league in general. My win rate didn't reduce, in fact, I slightly beat the guys with expensive summoners, you can call it the perks of being creative with having limited means. However, with that delegation, I was able to get two daily focus chests, contrary to the one I always get.
Meaning I got about 12 chests for the 6 days I had the card. Although I couldn't play with the card, as I might have needed a level four Thaddius brood to actually play it. But the collection Power it gave me, did give me a huge boost as I've been waiting for a little push in crypto prices to throw a little cash into the game.
Staking every ounce of SPS
The not so inspiring E.O.S
Opening a pack again.
The little deck progress
However, I'd let you all see my reward for the end of the season, the highlight is a djinn chwala, some SPS that counts, and nothing more, it's nothing to be excited about, but I'm always of the opinion that it doesn't matter. Why? I think I'm happier with the accumulation process.
6 months ago, I had all my cards in level one but today majority of them are in level three. Well, I won't exactly say it's a new or spectacular feat, I'm just thinking that I'm happy to build and accumulate over time. Well, I got to also upgrade my venari crystalsmith to level two nothing special, the speed improved from 2 to 3.
The Money, Value & Utility
so I think I might have to get it to level three to actually to improve the attack from one to two, it's a gradual process, I'm building all my deck at once and right now my water deck seems to be the most capable. A card like Djinn Oshannus will forever remain utility and I didn't regret buying it at 49$ when I did. So, I'm paying attention to my deck very carefully, while building it at my own pace, but soon, I'll see how it goes.
I opened another pack, and so far the summer within is the only selling point. I'm still expecting to get a GFL and after opening over 93 packs, I've not gotten any, well it's still a pipe dream that before I open everything, I might just get one at the end of the day and if not, then, it's the element of uncertainty that I've mostly mentioned. It's a new season and I think I'll just let it sway round and round. Cheers, keep brawling.

Hahaha yeah, it's absolutely fun and addictive, the rewards makes it even better. Maybe you can share your deck and battle progress sometimes.

Congrats on pulling off Obsidian from your pack opening it surely will count toward upgrading it to level 3.
The 25k Collection Power from the GF level 3 Djinn Murat is awesome, that is the benefit of GF cards. Though we have to pay the price.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I'll definitely be getting me a GF card maybe in weeks to come and this is simply because of that CP 25k is amazing, I think an obsidian goes for a dollar, I don't know now. It was the highlight of that pack.

anyways, I don't need to ask how you are doing, I can see you're doing real great.😊
Well, it's splinterlands and there's always the element of uncertainty. Sometimes it works well, sometimes it doesn't, I just have to take it as it comes though.
Thanks, well, everyone tends to continue whether we're doing great or not. We do not have option but to eschew continuity. How are you doing too?
smiles... I'm very well thank you.
I'm on discord now Pinkbeee#3058
Ohhh alright, I'll text you
I really hope I would start playing this game one day
Well one day can be today
Well that's true tho but it will take sometime to learn and I am getting busy with a lot of things that takes much of my time
I do believe that the EOS relies on a lot of luck and most of the time, you just don't hit it. The deck building process is expensive so it's best to just go slowly over it. There are markets that give you back a portion of your purchase if you choose to buy individual cards off the market.

It's totally dependent on luck like you've mentioned and sometimes people who have invested decently tends to hit it even bigger with luck. I don't know about the other markets that gives one back a portion of their purchase though, I think I'll check it out, growing a deck can be expensive
For example, monstermarket gives you back 60% of what they get in fees. So there are some marketplaces that are better to buy from compared to others.

I immediately went out to check the market, thanks a million, it's a good place to actually explore.
You bought Djinn Oshannus at $49? It's just over $2 now.
I don't have this card but I can relate as I also bought a lot of cards when they are around 10x the current price. LOL.
!1UP
It was just at 49$ when I bought it, I think it was October last year that I actually bought it. It's crazy how these prices have fallen thus far.
Yup. Let's hope that it will increase in price again next year. 😊
I'm hoping it would, the market has dumped really hard and I'm hoping we see favorable market again.
Me too.
Just a matter of time imho. It is played very often in diamond and champion and very successfully. That, pelacor conjurer, venari wavesmith, pelacor deceiver, naga assasin, djinn chwalla, djinn renova, venari crystalsmith, pelacor bandit
all good long term investments in my opinion, and I own quite a lot of them all.
I have a few of those too. As I believe that they will increase in price in the future. It's just that, it would be more appropriate if I purchased them around this time. 😊
thats why i average over time, the way i would look at it is. lets say i bought one at $49, and they are currently $2. The way my mind works is, spend another $49 and buy 24 more for the same price, now my average price is $4 per oshannus.
Woah. That's quite interesting. I am also thinking of how would I lower my initial price purchase. Thanks a lot for this tip.

Everything in splinterlands depends on luck which make it so addictive, my focus now also is to build my deck
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You've been building your deck for quite a while now and you have a brilliant lineup sincerely.
I think the same can be said about lootboxes. I think it is inherent to human nature trying to find excitement in unknown odds, that is why gambling is so widespread as well. Atleast in Splinterlands it is an investment as well!
Good blog!
congrats on your luck! if you ever need any cp delegations to get you into the next league hit me up, be glad to help you

Thank you, I'll surely do that, I'm grinding my way in silver III, haha and trying to get out of there, it can be so limiting to play there.
