Hola 👋 fellow Splinterlands Player,
This weeks "Hello" is in Spanish Language, when I searched for Hola so many meanings of the word came up like its a name of a town in Kenya, holA is a bacterial gene, lot of people have surname Hola, there is even a card game with this name and lot of commercial use of the word, wow!
Splinterlands
Financials
As I started in my last weekly update, I have been trying to track all investments and returns in various games on hive and have started the same for splinterlands, some of the expenses and revenues especially for cards below are approximate (or may be some missing) as currently Splinterlands API only allow data for previous 30 days, I am still trying to figure out how to get the old data. I play with 3 accounts on splinterlands (although 2 alts are not so actively developed yet but in future once my main account is settle I plan to actively play on 2 alt accounts too). I actually plan to create 1 more especially for giveaways because I have few ideas for giveaways which I want to try but for now that is for distant future.
For Splinterlands I will be switching to tracking in US$ instead of hive as some of the tokens used like Credits do not have exact conversions in hive and same goes for purchase or sales of the cards
Expenses
Starting with Expenses
- Spellbook : Initial spend
- Cards : Some of this cards are puchased or increasing the Collection Power while some for flipping on the market
- DEC : Bought off the market
- SPS : Bought off the market
- Credits : Bought in-game normally with various cryptos to buy Cards or potions
- Chaos : Chaos Legion packs bought in-game and on market
- XChaos : Since I was not going to buy too many packs to be eligible for bonus this seemed like a good idea to buy in pool and receive additional DECs along with Chaos Legion packs
- Vouchers : Using only the ones receive in game, have not bought on market that's why expense is $0
Revenues
Revenues include
- Cards : Sold in market or with Pizza
- DEC : Traded on market
- SPS : Traded on market
- Credits : can not be traded so will always be $0
- Chaos : have not found good opportunities to trade this one may be when all Chaos legion packs in game are sold out
- XChaos : XCHAOS even after distributing the CHAOS packs at start of general sale, is providing bonus DECs daily based on SPS and card airdrops it is receiving, so the token is still tradeable on market
- Voucher : Traded on market
Assets
Assets held in game or in wallet
- Cards : As per market price given by peakmonsters
- DEC : Held mostly in Liquidity pools (see below)
- SPS : Mostly Staked in game (staked)
- Credits : Held in game
- Chaos : have opened all the packs and have not being so lucky with pack drops in reward chests
- XChaos : Held in wallet
- Voucher : Held in game (airdropped) or wallet
Gains
Well simple calculation for Gains = (Revenues + Asset value) - Expenses
and currently it stands at $198.82 or 48% of my expense of around $400 related to the game, considering I only started with the Hive 7 months ago not bad numbers I will say.
Liquidity Pools
Since I have been adding mainly to SWAP.HIVE:DEC pool only that's why it is still one of the major positions in my LP portfolios and the one which adds most point to the Airdrop points
I had SWAP.State lying around in my wallet since I did not had any other use added those to SPS:SWAP.STATE pool as it is has one of the highest APY in splinterlands related pools
From today also started adding to DEC:SPS pool so it's effect in airdrops point will only start showing from tomorrow.
Not a Financial Advice please do your own diligence before investing
Game Progress
Last season I ended with 🥈Silver 3 Leagues and got the following rewards for End of Season. Got 1 🎉Gold Foil Pelacor Deceiver🎉 but the rest of chest were disappointing 😞 4 Common cards, 11 DECs😂 combined in 3 chests😂 2 Alchemy and 1 Legendary potion

- Gold and Legendary Potions
- Epic Djinn Chwala & Pelacor Deceiver
Gladius Pack Opening
Opened a Gladius pack in last week and pulled an Epic Ranger Edith Emberstar with this stats and Bloodlust ability, I don't think I will need another ranger for Water Element in future brawls, a Rare Sarius and 3 common Katrelba Gobson, Krash Wanderford and Whistling Damon - overall good pack full of rangers😀
🍕PIZZA 3 Hand-Tossed Guild
This time all Pizza Guilds, Pizza 1 : Stuffed Crust, Pizza 2 : Deep Dish and Pizza 3 : Hand tossed, won the brawls all, yes all our guilds took 🥇1st Place, nice achivement, Bravo all Pizza guild members. For P3, I played in novice Chaos Legion Fray and up with 4W👍 2L👎 and got 1431 merits😄
Brawls Report
Battle 1
 |
This one did not allowed much options on splinter, Only 
Water and 
Death along with 
were allowed and on top of that EarthQuake ruleset meant to avoid low health monsters or use one with Flying ability, both Water and Death decks did not have much flying monsters went with Chaos Dragon, good armor and health with pretty good range attack and speed only disadvantage was high mana cost, so option for only one more monster and Cursed Windeku seemed like right choice as it had Thorns ability
Initially when I saw Alva the crusher as tank and 5 other monsters in opponents lineup got little concerned, but my strategy worked as expected and Chaos Dragon along with Earthquake ruleset easily won the game for me.
Battle 2
 |
As soon as I started the selection for the battle started getting transaction error and page refreshing a couple of times, before I could figure out what was happening only 30 seconds were left on timer so basically just added whatever cards were there so at least it will not be a fled and kind of as expected lost the game
Battle 3
 |
In this game, opponents Merdaali Guardian healing its tank with Tank Heal in each round and then when I was finally able to take it down River Hellondale bringing it back with Resurrect proved too much for my monster lineup.
Battle 4
 |
Finally able to use 
Fire splinter and medium mana cap battle with not much restrictive ruleset, went with Summoner Tarsa and mostly Melee attack team, it took little more rounds then I expected mostly because of +1 armor given by Kelya Frendul but won the game.
Battle 5
 |
With High mana cap of 54 and Lost legnedaries and Super sneak ruleset in same game, I though it was going to be going with war of tanks as in who can take more hits and survive so I chose Tarsa again with mostly Meele attacks and surprisingly opponent went with 
Life Splinter with quite a few low health monsters and was easy win for me.
Battle 6
Opponent Fled - Free win 🙂

Hey, count me in!
@double-k
cheers!
I have lost interest in this game a little as I found it impossible to learn about and remember all the cards. Do you have any tips on how I would overcome this problem? I would like to get back into the game.
There are some good players who have created posts / videos about various aspect of gameplay and strategies from novice to higher leagues, I will recommend to start with those
Thanks for the recap, I enjoy reading about how others are coming along financially. Thanks for the giveaways!
