I continue to play Splinterlands because it is probably the most reasonable thing to do. Why? I have cards that I have compiled using real-time assets. 

The majority of my first soulbound cards were gathered using real asset cards, so even though they have no dollar value, they can be used to earn SPS and win Guild games, both of which earn SPS.



## Imaginary Value For Soulbound Cards 

 I have been gathering soulbound cards for over two years, and some of them are level 9 and 10. They are not transferable, but they may still have more intrinsic value within the game. 

Imagine being able to rent soulbound cards for pennies, perhaps a complete set of soulbound summoners, and offering this opportunity to new users, or discovering new ways to add value to soulbound cards. 

Unfortunately, that is not the case. However, even though most of my soulbound cards have no value, I treasure them because I have been working on them for far too long. They are assets that I have worked hard to create, and they have already helped me earn cards. 

Although I may be overly praising these cards, it is important to remember that staked SPS is why these cards can actually earn you any SPS.



## Card Value

In reality, most of my splinterlands cards have lost over 90% of their value since I purchased them in 2021, but because I enjoy the game and it would be unreasonable to sell them, I still believe earning SPS with them is the only way to continue gaining value from them.

I have paid 2k DEC to continue playing in Wild, even though I do not think it is a worthwhile investment, but I keep doing it because selling off my cards would be terrible, and not paying 2k DEC to continue would also be a bad decision. 


So, I finished in Gold 1 and earned more than 76k glints.

## Olivia Of The Brook

 I got three epic cards and have them here. The good news is that I have another **Olivia of the Brook**, and I only need two more cards to get this monster to level two. Olivia is one of the most dangerous soulbound cards ever minted, and with her mimic ability, you can virtually destroy opponents.

 I can not wait to get her to level 2, but I need two more BCX. 




The other rewards were pretty much regular and nothing too exciting. I did not earn as much Glint as I would have liked, which is unfortunate because I do not have enough staked SPS and my card levels are still too low.

 Earning 100 to 150k glints would be preferable, but it would necessitate more staked SPS, which I currently lack. I thank the people who have helped me so far with delegated SPS; they have been the reason I have earned some decent glint and SPS.

## Gladius Case


I got a Gladius case today with some merits, nothing exciting, but it does add up with time. Overall, last season looked exactly like the previous two seasons, with the exception that I am now two Olivia away from level 2.

 I purchased the Wild pass because I needed to play in the Wild for 2K DEC. Most people are probably playing for fun, and I am mostly doing the same.
