Splinterlands 

Collectible Card Game on BlockChain Technology
If you love physical collectible card games like Magic the Gathering, YuGiOh, Pokemon or online games like Hearthstone, Urban Rivals, and AFK Arena: (I have played a lot of them) I think you should try Splinterlands. I even invented and pubished my own card game in 2015 called PBL Robots. Splinterlands is extremely collectible, fun to play, and thanks to the blockchain the assets truly feel fluid across different internet market places. I purchased cards on the atomic market place before ever joining the game just because they were inexpensive and interesting and those purchases eventually led me to buy the spellbook (costs $10) and try the game. Almost 8 months later, I enjoy the game today more than ever and so many more game modes are on their way this year. I currently make between $2-5/day based on my staked assets and collection power (with a few hundred dollars investment) and my collection is currently valued at 3k usd. 

If you use my referral code to join I will send you a free NFT to help your bronze grind and I will invite you to my Guild, which gives you a community and extra perks and bonuses. https://splinterlands.com?ref=williamhessian

Splinterlands: Top 3 Rares for New Players




Important Notes: 
1.Card values, power and importance change frequently day by day as players, meta and prices fluctuate. Prices change by the hour, so these reflect lowest market price as of 8/4/2021.
2. I do not give financial advice, only gameplay advice. 
3. I am still new myself, and most of my information I get from reading and listening to better players on the Splinterlands Discord
4. The cards on this list are geared for brand new players and as you play and move to rank silver, the important card list changes. 
5. If you have never played Splinterlands check out my previous post on how you can earn money while playing, and consider joining Splinterlands (it costs $10 to start).  


New players in Splinterlands start with one copy of every common and rares from the beta set, and this is more than enough to get rolling in the bronze 3 ranked play. I think some of the best commons/rares are in those free cards, but because everyone has them I am not including them in this top 3 list. Also, Epic and Legendary cards can be very expensive (although you can rent them, which is what I recommend as you move towards Silver), so that is why I stuck to Commons and Rares in the two posts. These three cards can be rented for less than one cent (>$0.05) per day
 


Furious Chicken ($15)

I would argue that this zero mana feisty looking chicken's is one of the best cards in the game (at least early on). It is free to play and fits in almost all low mana decks, and usually gives at least one free turn of protection somewhere in your line up. Saving a good range or magic character for one extra turn can easily win or lose you the battle. I also love how many places you can put the chicken to maximize different decks; sometimes I put Furious Chicken first, or last, or somewhere in the middle. It all depends on the rules of the match and the cards abilities I am using. Sadly, this chicken is no secret as the alarming $15 price tag indicates. When I first started playing I recognized it was very powerful, but was hesitant to spend the $1, and now it was skyrocketed in price, especially due to all the new players. Luckily, you can still rent one for $0.03 per day, but even rental fees are skyrocketing on this guy.  


Fire Elemental ($1.69)

With the blast ability, Fire Elemental shines in Bronze league. As long as you can protect her to get a few shots off the blast damage can really eat up opponents decks. Fire Elemental is a little low in health and can be picked off if not well defended, but the 4 speed usually means she is attacking first and if the opponent puts any low health creatures in slot 2 they melt quickly, which is especially good against the water magic decks. I found that many of my win in the first few weeks included her in my line up. Renting her will cost less than a penny a day.   



Haunted Spirit ($20.00)

When I start a match and see Haunted Spirit (which I thought was a Hippo for the longest time) I just shake my head. This card, with healing powers, often wins the game on its own. The healing ability is arguable the most overpowered ability in Bronze level games and even really excellent line ups can often just not be able to outpace a good healer like Haunted Spirit. I am personally shocked that a rare is going for $20 per card, considering there are almost 14k circulation (considering both Beta and Untamed versions). But, if you are putting $ value on a card that can win games, Haunted Spirit does that very well. The card also just keeps getting better as you find more death splinter cards to support it, so it continues to be great long past Bronze level play. Luckily you can still rent one for under a penny a day and get to win games with this guy just like everyone else.  

Unline the commons which you could pick up all three for under $5 dollars, the rares will cost you almost $37 for just these three cards, YIKES. Thank the rental market, as you can rent all three cards for less than five cents (>$0.05) per day. See if you can combo up Furious Chicken with either Fire Elemntal or Haunted Spirit, and let me know how it goes. I would love to hear what your top 3 rare cards in Splinterlands are, and which ones you have found the most success with.

Splinterlands: Top 3 Commons for new players


Important Notes: 
1.Card values, power and importance change frequently day by day as players, meta and prices fluctuate. Prices change by the hour, so these reflect lowest market price as of 8/4/2021.
2. I do not give financial advice, only gameplay advice.

5. If you have never played Splinterlands check out my previous post on how you can earn money while playing, and consider joining Splinterlands (it costs $10 to start).  


New players in Splinterlands start with one copy of every common and uncommon from the beta set, and this is more than enough to get rolling in the bronze 3 ranked play. I think some of the best commons/uncommons are in those free cards, but because everyone has them I am not including them in this top 3 list. Also, Epic and Legendary cards can be very expensive (although you can rent them, which is what I recommend as you move towards Silver), so that is why I stuck to Commons and Uncommons in the two posts. These three cards can be rented for less than one cent (>$0.01) per day
 


Goblin Mech ($2.40)

Certainly one of the most powerful commons available. Due to its neutral shard color it can go in most decks. The cost is high (10) which can make it hard to play in low mana cap games. However, the 5 shield and 6 power can give all of your cheap mana range and magic characters a lot of time to shoot. 4 attack damage is also nothing to sneeze at as Goblin Mech can pound entire squads on his own at times. This is a common card that pairs up with most strategies and serves as the very best tank in Bronze. Goblin Mech is a known powerhouse and currently fetches $2.40 a card! The price is high, but hard not to have at least one in your collection.   


Nectar Queen ($0.53)

In bronze my favorite shard to play is Water, using Magic (a discussion for a different post), but my second favorite is Earth using sneak and snipe abilities (Earth and Neutral). While Goblin Mech is pretty much a strict upgrade over Nectar Queen, the Nectar Queen is 1/5th the cost and plays really well with certain rule sets (especially Earthquake). The flying ability can cause 1-3 misses per match, which can be the difference in a game. I consider Nectar Queen to be another great tank and a valuable common, especially if you are enjoying the Earth shard. Nectar Queen costs $0.53 to buy, and only 0.1DEC to rent daily, so no harm in renting one for a day and giving the Nectar Queen a whirl.  


Sand Worm ($0.69)

Smashing the last character in your opponents' line up for 5 melee damage feels pretty good. In bronze level often players leave their good characters unprotected in the back of the line (don't do that) and Sand Worm can eat up an entire team. Sand Worm is: slow; high mana; and not a good tank so you need protection on both sides of him: but if you do you can win plenty of Bronze level games with the worm. Sand Worm is Neutral shard so even in Silver league Sand Worm sees a lot of play in high mana cap games. Sand Worm is $0.69 currently, and it will see enough play in your first few levels of play that make it worth picking up or renting.   

For under $5 dollars you can add all three of these cards to your collection and remember these three cards can be rented for less than one cent (>$0.01) per day. Then you can start hammering away at those bronze players. I would love to hear what your top 3 common cards in Splinterlands are, and which ones you have found the most success with.

Splinterlands: Earn Crypto for playing this Collectible Card Game

For anyone that reads this blog, you will see that I have not posted much in years. The reason: there has not been many games or offers that were worth posting about. My last post was about joining Robinhood in 2018, to get free stocks. Prior to that it was 2017, with a post about my favorite free collectible card game you can play on your browser called Urban Rivals (feel free to go back and read those articles as they still hold up). 

Blockchain Technology

2019 happened. The pandemic happened, NFTs and Defi Crypto games sprouted up, and while I tried my best to find something worth spending my time and money on I finally stumbled upon Splinterlands. Splinterlands is my favorite game using the Blockchain Technology. You can actually play this game and earn crypto and rewards worth real money.  

Earn Free Money Crypto Game


Make Money playing Splinterlands?     

I cannot give you an accurate account of how much you can make per week, because the factors and numbers are always changing. Essentially it costs $10 to start (you need to buy the spellbook) but then you get one copy of commons and rares from the two most recent sets to start battling. Each day you can earn daily rewards if you complete the challenge. You also win DEC for each battle you win. 

Here is my daily rewards lot from today 8/3/2021 which is worth around nearly $15 if I sold the DEC and the Legendary card (this was admittedly a pretty decent reward pool): 

$15 rewards from daily drops

You can rent characters for small amounts of the in-game currency DEC, and use those characters to boost your squad and try to climb to the next level which in turn gets you more and more rewards and DEC. You also earn daily SPS, which is a governance token, which can either by staked or sold on the crypto market. I am a pretty new player, less than 4 months in, and I get about 9 sps per day, which I could sell for 2.25 (each SPS is worth $0.25 at the time of writing). 

Gameplay 

One of the main reasons (the community, the markets and the devs were right up there too) I felt confident to go ahead and start putting some resources into this game was that the gameplay was fun, challenging and diverse. The game plays a little like the Rise of Mythos or a tactical RPG, where you secretly select your team of warriors and place them in a particular order as your opponent does the same. There are certain rules in each battle that limit your choices, or give special positive or negative effect to that battle, which help guide you to select different configuration of characters. After you submit, the gameplay is done and you get to sit back and see how it all plays out.   


I personally only play my daily challenges (20 mins approx) and then maybe a weekly tournament or play an extra hour here or there to test decks and test cards or play with people I meet in discord. 

The Community, the Market and the Devs

I could write a bunch about all these additional topics as to why I felt Splinterlands was a worthwhile project but for the sake of brevity I will be brief (although if you want to hear more please leave a comment). Splinterlands has one of the best discord channel I have seen; it is supportive, helpful and an extremely valuable resource to get on your feet in the game. The market in game, on Atomichub, NFThive (among many others) is a huge part of the game that is really fun. You can make money find cheap or undervalued cards to buy and then rent, or sell over priced cards and then rent out the same one for a fraction when needed. I cannot forget to mention www.peakmonsters.com which is an amazing database that helps you sort, search for deals, watch the market, and analyze all of the assets in the game. The final thing that really sold me on Splinterlands was that the devs have done an excellent job laying the groundwork of a game that is fun to play, fun to collect, fun to trade and fun to watch grow. The dev have been responsive, transparent and seem to make really good decisions (a rare feat in the crypto gaming world from my experience). 

Give Splinterlands a try

If you have $10 and a little time each day, and you have interesting in crypto games that earn you money, or enjoy collectible card games I strongly recommend checking this out. Also, if you are new to crypto in general, because the discord community is so supportive and helpful, this might be the best place for you to start learning about the blockchain and defi projects.

Fun Free Online Card Game! CCG MMO with no downloads!

You do not need to spend a dime, and you dont need a credit card to ride this train. Urban Rivals is an amazingly fun, challenging and addicting massive multi-player collectible card game......and its completely free to play! Yes, it is a free collectible card game, massive multi player game, with no downloads!




Easy to Join
Its easy to join Urban Rivals and you can get started within the next half hour and be battling other new players right away. You get a free pack of cards and you can build decks right from the start. When you battle, your cards gain experience and can level up (or evolve) into more powerful cards.

No Downloads
When I was looking for awesome games to play, I hated games that looked and sounded cool, but then took hours to download and then took hours to erase from my computer after I realized the game wasn't even fun. Urban Rivals is the best free massive multi player online (MMO) collectible card game (CCG) I have ever found. Plus, you do not need to download anything to play! You can play from work, from school, from a friends house, all you need is the internet to jump into your account! The entire game is played in flash.

Gameplay
The way the game is set up, there is a lot of skill involved in the game. It is always fun to beat a player who is a much higher level than you, and make them feel shame. You get to pick your deck, and during the game you assign power pills to each character which is hidden from your opponent. Those pills multiply the characters attack damage and can win or lose you the game.

Pay if you want
It is free to play. You can spend money to buy extra packs, however I spent months playing on the free account and leveling up my guys and selling them in the shop. It was great. Eventually I spent 5 dollars to buy a few extra packs and with those cards I managed to trade and play my way up to a huge collection of cards.

Earning Packs
If you are like me, and want to play online games that are FREE, but also really fun, then urban rivals is for you. The other neat thing is that you can earn credits to buy packs simply by playing in free tournaments. These tournaments happen every two hours! You can join a ton of tournaments every day and earn packs of new cards for doing it. It is really fun.

Friends Friends Cards
Don't also forget about the sponsor program, because if you sign up with my link here , then you can get your friends to sign up under you and then you earn credits from them. It's another great way to earn free cards, plus then you can play with your friends.
