Today marks Day 32 since I returned to Splinterlands, and I hit another milestone—
I reached Gold I in the Frontier League!
It felt amazing. I was energized, hyped, and proud because I did it using only my max Bronze cards. Even the rewards I got were full of Energy Points, which made me feel like I was finally climbing with momentum.
🎉 The Highs and the Lows
But just as fast as the joy came, it slipped away. After my Gold I promotion, I was hit with consecutive losses that pulled me down, almost back to Gold III.
Still, I’m grateful. That short time at the top gave me a taste of what’s possible. And now I know—I need to prepare better to survive and thrive at this level.
🧩 Lessons Learned
At Gold League, most players have maxed-out decks
My max Bronze cards can only go so far against them
Consistency matters more than lucky streaks at this stage
Reaching Gold I once means I can do it again—stronger
🚀 My Next Goal
My journey doesn’t stop here. The next big step is:
Upgrading my cards to keep up with the Gold League competition
Building strategies that can counter maxed decks
Working towards placing on the leaderboard 🏅
It’s a long journey, but hitting Gold I showed me what’s possible.
