Hello everyone. As soon as I saw the Nomos Challenge, I decides to try my luck:
The challenge was simple: get 3 wins in ranked with Nomos. Battles under Back to Basics and Silenced Summoners don't count. I don't understand why they decided to not count Back to Basics but Silenced Summoners is obvious.
I didn't think I could do it with my main account, being in Diamond 1 currently. It would be too difficult to win with Nomos and most likely very slow. I went to my alt ssj.sturm (which my brother used to play but he has lost interest in the game) and rented a level 4 Nomos. I figured that level 4 was enough for the cards I had available in that account and it was also pretty cheap. It was less than 1 DEC per day!
After that is was all about being fast enough and having some luck with Fire being available and not facing accounts more powerful than mine.
Here are my 3 wins:

It wasn't as easy as 3 games 3 wins but it wasn't too difficult either. I got the first win with Nomos on the first game I played. After that, I got 1 or 2 losses with Nomos and 1 games where Fire was not available. When I got the second win I only needed 2 more games to get the third and I quickly replied to the post.
Out of my wins, the most interesting is the first one. The other 2, there were no magic monsters on my opponent's side, so I picked Dispel but it also did nothing. In the first one, the -2 magic on Djinn Oshannus was very good.
After posting my wins there was still the likes and shares condition. At first I thought my post needed 100 likes and 50 shares, which as a non-influencer and someone who barely used X, was very difficult. When I saw someone on Discord say it was the main Splinterlands post that needed the likes and shares, I started sharing the post in other Splinterlands related discord channels and in a few twitch channels. On Sunday it reached the required likes and shares and soon after, I had gotten my packs and DEC.
This is what I got from the packs:
The packs were pretty nice. Not a single very expensive card like a GFL or a Tofu but 3 legendaries, 1 GF epic and 1 GF summoner made for good value.
I'd like to thank the Splinterlands team for making these challenges and giving us players the opportunity to win these prizes!
