🧭 Day 5 in Splinterlands: Discovered the Frontier Format and Grinded to Bronze II!

![Screenshot 2025-08-01 102549.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmaTf9iKyFUaDsDBB25JBWnnnf4MvdQr4xfBbMkrr4w62W/Screenshot%202025-08-01%20102549.png)
Today was full of surprises.

While exploring the game modes, I stumbled upon a new format—Frontier, where you're only allowed to use Foundations-associated cards. No Rebellion, no Conclave Arcana—just the classics. It felt like an entirely different battleground!

I started at Bronze III and battled my way up until I completely drained my 20 Energy Points, eventually climbing back into Bronze II.

⚔️ What is Frontier Format?
Only Foundations set cards are allowed (no Modern cards)

Makes the game feel very “old school”

Card pool is smaller, so strategy becomes sharper

Definitely worth trying if you’re feeling stuck in Modern

🏆 Bronze II Rewards (Frontier Format)
For reaching Bronze II, I got 5 reward chests, and here’s what they gave me:

🧪 1 Legendary Potion

🧪 2 Alchemy Potions

🌿 Aurelia – An Earth Summoner (huge!)

⚒️ Kanaaq Miner – A Neutral monster with sneak potential

Aurelia is an awesome pull—I can finally test out Earth splinter combos!

📦 Daily Reward Chest Loot
I managed to claim 4 daily chests (2 from Bronze III + 2 from Bronze II). And this time, I hit a solid streak—all 4 were cards:

🛡️ Nim Guard Captain and

🐫 Spitting Camel

Not bad at all—especially since I can start combining them as duplicates come in. Every bit helps when climbing out of Bronze.

🔄 My Strategy Moving Forward
Keep alternating between Modern and Frontier formats

Build around Aurelia for Earth splinter tests

Maximize daily energy before reset

Continue card combining for better stats

Prepare an early rental strategy next season to push for Silver

🗣️ Quick Question for You:
Have you tried the Frontier Format yet? Do you think it’s better for climbing as a new or returning player?

Also—any good Aurelia combos I should try out in Bronze? Let me know in the comments 👇
