First and foremost, a huge congratulations to [@davemccoy](/@davemccoy) sir on becoming the CEO of Splinterlands! This achievement is a testament to your outstanding dedication and strategic brilliance. And I am confident that your expertise and commitment will undoubtedly lead Splinterlands towards a new era of success. 🎉

Once again, in a true "me vs. me" challenge, I have broken my own previous records and set some new milestones. For instance, for the very first time in my entire Splinterlands journey, I have reached a ranking of 1800 this season—and I did so within just a few days of the season's start. This means there are still more than eight days remaining before the season concludes; so, if everything goes well and I play my cards right, I might potentially step into the Gold Tier for the very first time. However, that will certainly be no easy feat. So, for now, let's simply focus on what I have already achieved; the second highlight in this regard is my winning streak, which has reached a count of eight (8) for the first time ever. It all just happened so naturally—I didn't even realise it was happening until it was done!😄

And one specific achievement—for which I am writing this post in particular—is unlocking the Silver 1 tier. While this did happen in the previous season as well, back then I only reached the Silver 1 tier right at the very end of the season; this time, however, I have accomplished this feat right in the middle of the season. Consequently, having proven my mastery over the various elements, I received 6 Minor and 3 Major chests as Silver 1 loot rewards. I was even more excited about these than usual, as I have decided that—from now on—I will exclusively purchase Legendary Draws; this means that for Rare and Epic cards, I will rely entirely on rewards obtained from other sources. To further test my luck with these rewards, I even utilised Gold and Legendary potions to double my chances of finding higher rarity or gold foil cards.

The results revealed that my luck is tremendous—not because I pulled a Gold or Legendary card, but rather because I received a total of three cards (two Rare and one Common), earned some Merits, and—in return for the single Legendary and single Alchemy Potion I spent to open this loot—I actually received one Legendary Potion and six Alchemy Potions back. So, technically speaking, I have come out ahead on this loot without having spent anything at all. As for the cards themselves, they represent three different elements; specifically, I currently use the Water Element melee card and the Life Element ranged card in my battles, so from that perspective, these copies are definitely an asset to me. Looking ahead in this season, my only hope for the next eight days is to unlock the Gold Tier; if I manage to achieve that, I might just stop there and take some time to celebrate that milestone.🔥

Splinterlands isn't an easy place, but that's what makes it even more fun. A perfect strategy takes into account many factors, including stats, abilities, rulesets, mana caps, and more. That's why it's even more important to consider all these factors when developing a strategy. Add good cards to your deck, but also work on improving your strategies, and strive to win as many battles as possible!🔥
