Splinterlands is an online collectible card game using the blockchain technology. Every user will need cards to play the game, these cards or assets are NFTs (Non-Fungible Token) which can be traded. These cards is used to play against other players. Now every card will have the unique ability and they are divided between Common, Rare, Epic and Legendary. The more the ability, the more it can help you to win the games and the more expensive it becomes.

The season was ended few days back and I got to the Silver 1 as I am still building my deck. I have been acquiring cards either by spending the Glint rewards or by investing money on the cards. Till now I have got some good cards for common, Rare and Epic. Since Legendary were expensive in terms of Glint rewards, I didn't get so many Glint rewards to buy the Legendary. But this time it was different. 


Since this season was great in terms of winning. I got a good number of Glint rewards. So I thought of getting Legendary card along with some of the Epic cards. Since I had only Glint rewards for buying 1 Legendary I tried my luck. I got Blackmoor Jinx.

To be honest I didn't feel it's a very good card for a Legendary. The pros of this card is that it is a 1 mana card which is a great thing to have in your cards so that you can sneak one more card in the lineup for low mana game. Next is it has a snipe ability which is again good to have so that you can attack other magic and Ranged attacks. Now the cons of this is that in the level 1, it doesn't have a great attack to be called a Legendary. I know, when you have a high level of this card you will get 2 attacks which is somewhat good. But we have much better Epic and rare cards than this card. And not only this Legendary card, we have quite a few Legendary cards which are not thar great. 


But in Glint rewards you don't have a say and thus you will get based on your luck. There are good cards too, it is just that you have to try your luck. And if you get a gold foil of Legendary then it's a different thing. So now I am still thinking whether to run after legenedary cards and try my luck for the good cards or try to get more Epic cards and increase my levels. Though not decided fully, but this time I am thinking of going with Rare and Epic cards only. In this way my level of Rare and Epic cards will increase. 


And that's why I am thinking not all Legendary cards are good at the first level. I know it's not feasible to have all the Legendary cards good at the first level and that's true. So what we have to do is that we have ho increase our level and that's not only for the Rare and Epic cards but also for the Legendary cards. So not all the cards will be good for playing in all the games or it will not be good in level one, but it will be better in some games or in higher level. It is just that we have to know when to use that card effectively as well as we have to continue investing money or Glint rewards to increase the levels. 


So if you are also like me who got frustrated in getting not so good Legendary card after spending so much Glint rewards, don't be disheartened. Because it might be the starts, and once you start gaining more Legendary cards you will feel the importance of those cards.
