I decided to get a Chaos legion pack once I got a complete voucher airdrop. This is basically to increase my chances of getting an airdrop diring the upcoming sale.
I was hoping to get a card that would push me to a higher league but I guess I have to wait. It's all part of the game.
Why the delay though? In the past, the reveals were much quicker!

Aftere risking it all buying some chaos legion booster packs, I opened them to get some interesting cards that I have been playing with of late.
It's a shame they don't pack as much power as the other earlier editions. There is also an easter egg on the landing page when the game is under maintainance.

A 6 Azmare Dice investment resulting in cards worth about $9.
I was of course trying to boost my collection power but only moved the dial by just a bit.
Also, a final look at cards from last season's loot chests from Diamond ii/iii league. The good old days...

It used to be impossible to see the summoners of players while battling in Splinterlands on Ubuntu Linux, but with the new updates, one can see them and the background animation effects as well.
In the video, the weekend quest rewards are also shown plus the end of season unveiling of loot chests...

The challenge that Splinterlands offers while playing and levelling up is very engaging and rewarding compared to the conventional games most of us are used to.
I have spent a lot of time on racing games like Real Racing 3 and CSR Racing that have no benefit other than the thrill of winning tournaments and earning cars as you level up and upgrade.
Splinterlands is attractive to me because it gives back some real monetary value for the time spent on the game. I may not like the nature of battling within the game but the math and thought that goes into the whole process covers up for it.
I am relishing the fact that I have managed to attain the goal of reaching Diamond ii while it lasts since there was an announcement that the game will change a bit with the introduction of collection power that caps a player’s level in the game. This is to bring more “fariness” to the game, according to the developers.
For instance, it seems that so far I have a CP of about 34000 points, which puts me at Silver II. So, I will keep earning daily rewards and season rewards for that level until I’m able to gain enough points to level up.
Part of the reason the change is being applied is to prevent ‘lower level’ monster players from earning rewards that are more suited to players who have invested more on the platform in monetary terms. At least that’s what I got from the comments on this post from Splinterlands: https://peakd.com/splinterlands/@splinterlands/new-reward-cards-and-collection-power-update
The flaw noted with this approach is the unfair ranking of those who have traded their gold cards for decks that allow them to be more competitive. This means that one can have more collection power by simply having better-foiled cards than another player with a similar cumulative manna cost.
So, What I can suggest is the inclusion of cumulative manna cost (similar cards owned being ignored) and average of all owned card levels in the formula. I think that will improve the capping of players to their respective levels if that is the goal of the developers, rather than the total "value".

I missed out on the previous tournament by Amplify Brokerage, so I made a point of showing up for this one.
I think I saw about a half of those who entered the tourney actually playing. I didn't have to play round one. Straight to round two, managed to win that one somehow but was stopped in round three.
With fewer players showing up, I happened to land between 65-123 position, winning 75 DEC. Nice.
One does not have to appear in 1st position in these tourneys to come out with something. Get into the tourneys! You never know what will come out of it.
