Hello there, Splinterlands warriors! How’s your end-of-season grind been? Did those reward chests bring you fortune, or were they a reminder to step up your strategy? This week, as part of the Splinterlands weekly challenge, I’m sharing my loot chest opening experience—hopefully, it can either entertain or inspire you!
This season, I managed to collect around 44,000 Glint, just enough to purchase 41 Major Chests from the Glint Shop. I opted for Major Chests because they strike a good balance between cost and potential rewards—affordable yet offering a decent chance at valuable cards.
With excitement bubbling (and a bit of nervousness), I began opening the chests one by one. As usual, my hopes were sky-high. But, as you know, sometimes Splinterlands can be full of… interesting surprises.
A Lackluster Start
The early chests weren’t exactly thrilling. Most of them contained Merits and Potions—the standard loot that often leaves us shaking our heads. But amidst the usual rewards, there was a small glimmer of light: two copies of KHAZI CONJURER. Not exactly groundbreaking, but still a nice addition to the collection.
The Tide Turns
As I continued opening chests, things began to look up. Rare and Common cards started to dominate the rewards, giving me hope that this session wouldn’t be a total bust. Just as I was starting to settle for “average results,” the first big surprise hit: GRIFZI, a Legendary card with just one mana point! Jackpot! This card is a low-mana gem, perfect for rulesets with limited mana caps.
Double Surprise: GRIFZI and WARBORN CHIEFTAIN
The remaining chests became increasingly exciting. Each click felt like a lottery draw until… BAM! WARBORN CHIEFTAIN, my second Legendary card of the session, appeared.
Talk about an end-of-season miracle! Two legendary cards from one loot session—it felt like all the effort this season had truly paid off. I couldn’t stop grinning as I imagined the new strategies I could craft with these cards.

Quick Card Analysis
Since both of these Legendary cards were new to me, let’s take a closer look at their potential:
- WARBORN CHIEFTAIN
This card looks like a solid tank, particularly against magic and melee attackers. With its Shield ability reducing melee and ranged damage, combined with Demoralize to weaken enemy melee attacks, it’s a defensive powerhouse for the front line. I’m already picturing it thriving in Super Sneak rulesets, where it can absorb sneak attacks like a champ. However, its higher mana cost means it won’t always fit into every battle.
- GRIFZI
On the other hand, GRIFZI is a unique card with the Sneak ability as its main skill. Its low mana cost of just one makes it incredibly versatile for low-mana matches. Unfortunately, it doesn’t gain any additional abilities at higher levels. While it shines in certain scenarios, its usage might remain situational.
End-of-Season Reflection
After opening all the chests, this journey felt like a rollercoaster ride. It started off slow and unimpressive but ended with moments of pure joy. The highlight of this session, WARBORN CHIEFTAIN, promises to be a cornerstone for future strategies, while GRIFZI adds a fresh, low-mana option to my lineup.
Opening loot chests is like watching a thriller movie—you never know what’s coming next. Sometimes you’re ecstatic, sometimes you’re let down, but that element of surprise is what keeps Splinterlands so engaging.
