Splinterlands Social Media Challenge - Similar But Not Equal.

Hello guys,

I hope you lots are enjoying splinterlands like i do week in week out. This past few weeks have been a slow start to the season for me. I tend to play less and less now and thats something that I am not proud of. I don't like missing those sweet sps and maybe the glint as well. I wont lie about the glint though. Its an ingame currency that I really don't care about earning. I do try to get more energy when ever I have glint so I can play more and more.

Last season was a disappointment for me simply cause I wasnt able to make it to the leaderboard. This was due to the fact that I was not able to play up to a 100 games in the whole of last season which was a very huge surprise to me. 100 games are a constant for me and each time I am not able to reach those numbers I just know that I am lacking behind. I am trying to see if I can get that form back though. Today I've been able to play more than 20 games which is s good start for me.

I am able to keep playing even 20 games per day I should be able to make up to 100 battles in 5 days. For now I am battling in diamond III and thinking of when next I can make it to diamond II. For now I think with a single win I'll be in diamond II. Let me play this game and then use it to write the social media challenge.

In case I didnt tell you, this is my entry to the splinterlands social media challenge. And as usual I'll be writing about one of my battles. Well the battle didnt go as I planned so I'll talk of a different battle now.

So in this particular game I had a low mana game. If there's one thing that I hate in battle its the low mana games. Having a low mana game limits you from choosing very good cards. I can agree that there are good cards with low mana as well but from where I stand a lot of the exceptional cards have huge mana. Having a mana as low as 16 limits you cause when you go for huge mana cards it'll also mean that you can only pick one card or at most 2. Yes you'll mostly be the first to attack but after that your card is left vulnerable and you'll easily loose such a battle.

So with a mana of 16 I first of all went in for a very low mana summoner. This summoner is in the name of Dolfar Darklak. This is a card with just 3 mana. Its a card that summoners 2 elements. Which is the death element and the fire element. Apart from this it doesn't give any buffs and debuffs.

For my cards I went for casewise wayfinder. This Is a card that I spoke about last week. This is a very good card. It has a mana of 6, an attack of 4, a health of 11 and shield of 4. It also has 4 speed. It has good buffs but one debuff is its reckless ability.

Because of cavewise's recklessness I went in for vicious giraffe. This is also a melee card and it has the reach ability. It also has the shatter ability. One reason why I also per it with casewise is that it has good health. Plus it has a low mana of 5.

Lastly, I went in for forked-tongue sage. This is a magic card with 2 mana. I honestly went for this card cause it was the only option left

The rulesets of this game were, lost legendaries, camouflage and are you not entertained. In my opinion this rulesets had no direct impact of how the game played out.

In the end I won rather comfortably even though we had the same cards. The only difference was all my cards were maxed and his were not. From his summoner to his first to last card.

This was how the game went. You can take a look at it in the link here.
