Am I gonna participate Survival Mode?
I don't think I can since I'm still building a deck for modern, especially I heard that chaos sets will be moving to wild format instead modern becuase of continuing sets of cards being introduced. Both my main account and scholar account wont be able to play on this format yet so maybe in future I'll be participating the fun as well.
As far as what I can see in the leaderboards player who comes in top are high in Collection Power (CP) and they have a lots of lots of copies of cards, and they don't have a problem losing some of its cards in battle for example Vugtis has a 250,000k CP. Unlike me who only owns 400k+ CP, for now my goal is I will grind more cards especially the rebellion and used them in Survival mode in the future.
The new launch of Survival Mode and the Leaderboard updates bring a new level of excitement and competition to Splinterlands, offering players more to think more, strategy, and rewards. Whether you're testing your performace with endurance in Survival Mode or aiming for the top in the Leaderboard, now is the perfect time to refine your skills and showcase your dominance. Jump into the challenge today and see how far you can go.
A Big Thanks! for supporting me, being here, and coming this far. I hope this blog about my thoughts of Survival Mode will help you gain idea and strategy before playing this format.
