Same here. This is the first P2E I played. I like its economic side. It's difficult at first to understand, but after some time, it started to make sense.
Your collection of leveled-up Summoners is impressive. I still don't have the financial capability to do that. Playing at Silver III, I am still using level 1 Summoners that whenever I encounter higher level summoners on the battlefield, most likely the battle will end up in my defeat.

That's one of the most important lessons that I learned in Splinterlands: the summoners are the single most important cards. I'm playing this game for more than 3 years and it's only now that I have fully developed summoners for the first time. You need a lot of patience or a deep pocket to evolve quickly in the game.
Ohhh three years! No wonder you were able to upgrade your summoners. As for me, it's my 9 months now.
