Splinterlands Card Giveaway
Each week I host a giveaway for one of the original Reward Edition Splinterlands cards. Most of these cards have been out-of-print for almost two years, so new players can only get them in the market, and that can be pretty expensive. These giveaways are a way to help players build their deck for free.
Last week's prize was this Highland Archer card.
Now that the post has reached the end of the seven day point of payout it's time to spin the wheel of names and find out who the lucky winner is...
Congratulations to the winner, @grijanklys! You are now the proud owner of this new Highland Archer card. The card has already been sent to your account.
This Week's Giveaway
For this week's Blast From The Past Giveaway, I'm giving away this Level 1 Silvershield Archers card.
Imagine, if you can, a monster card that has not one, but two attacks each round! Once long ago in the Splinterlands, the Double Strike ability did not exist. Monsters only had one attack each round. But then the Silvershield Archers arrived on the scene and everything changed. This dynamic duo was the first to allow a monster to attack twice in a round.
"Big deal, two attacks at one point of damage each!" That was the general consensus at the time of the Silvershield Archers release almost 4 years ago. They didn't exactly set the world on fire.
But what if you had a Life Summoner that granted +1 to ranged attacks like say...General Sloan? Suddenly you have a card that costs only 2 Mana points and can deal 4 points of damage each round. Now that the Summoner has come that the Silvershield Archers have been waiting for, they are a force to be reckoned with.
Not too surprisingly, the Silvershield Archers card has jumped up considerably in price since the release of Chaos Legion. The cheapest level 1 Silvershield Archers is priced at a very respectable $1.49 on the Splinterlands market.
Now take a moment and imagine a monster with an, as of yet, unreleased new ability, call it "Called Shot", that gives +1 to ranged attacks. And now imagine again what a card like Silvershield Archers would be worth if it was paired with a monster with "Called Shot" and the Summoner General Sloan. And remember all this from a monster that only costs 2 Mana!
If you are just starting out and haven't been able to add a Silvershield Archers card to your deck or just need another one to level yours up, then you should get in on this giveaway. This card will be sent to one lucky winner when this contest closes at post payout time. If this Silvershield Archers card doesn't fit in with your master plan for Splinterlands domination, or if you lack the skill and wisdom necessary to achieve victory with it, you can always rent it to someone else or try to sell it in the market.
How To Enter The Giveaway
For a chance to add this Silvershield Archers to your Splinterlands deck, just leave a comment. Be sure to add your Splinterlands account name if it's different than your entry name. Only 1 entry per person. The contest will end at the 7 day point of payout for this post, when I will use the WHEEL OF NAMES to choose the winner.
Good Luck!

Was archer released before undead Minotaur or is it a reward from the same generation? I don’t recall, but despite the puny attack I knew true strike would be a badass ability, especially paired with snipe. Back then Silvershield Paladin was still a top contender for the first position and that shield ability made the extra strike as useless as the first, but throwing snipe into the mix made it pretty valuable, even back then.
It still struggled, as Lord Arianthus was a top pick for the second position in the early days, but I’d argue it’s had its uses since day one. This is a very nice card to have in one’s collection. Good luck to everyone!
Edit to remind you not to include me in the drawing. I'd rather newcomers benefit from your generosity.
If I remember correctly, Minotaur and Silvershield Archers were the same generation.
I still never get any use out of undead Minotaur. I may have used it successfully half a dozen times to date, although I will concede that a likely reason is because I just have other melee cards I like better, so when the chance to use it comes up I have what I consider better options. I mean, why not just drop the extra mana point and use Lord if Darkness or skimp one and use haunted spirit? Both bring more to the table in my experience.
Minotaur does have limited use, but drop an Enchanted Pixie on the team when ruleset is Super Sneak and you have a powerful weapon with enough health to tangled up with thorns a time or two and still keep coming.
I might give that a try with a Daria summoner sometime and see how it goes. 🙂
