Lucky! You barely scraped it!! Congratulations!

It will be harder next season though. As many of the old guards are only beginning to come back.

Next target top 10. This is many orders of magnitude harder than the last one. As it should be :)

I really tried understanding this but I am just a month on Hive. Please explain how this works. I’m willingly to participate 

Congrats mate! I know we crossed paths several times as I was climbing into Champs early season.

I actually use the BH when playing Modern sometimes as I honestly have been out of touch with all the cards since I started using AM. People might hate on it, but it really is an amazing tool to teach you how to play again. If you never use the BH before, it spits out 5 team selections that you can choose from or if you are like me, you mix and match. Some of the selection doesn't always make sense, but that's up to the user to figure it out.

I am actually enjoying playing manually with or without the BH and I forgot how stimulating it is, especially when you win of course! :D The only issue I have is that I only have time in the evening to play, and that means playing for over an hour straight, which is tiring especially after working and having a drink.... :)

I only got 49 chests at the end of this season. I think they were gold chests.  I got a couple legendaries, though so that is cool.  

Martyr cards and soulbounds are also impacting my gameplay, put them together with a combination of rule sets and some really interesting strategies come to light. 

I tried a strategy to overpower one card, it worked but as a side effect I discovered an even more powerful strategy, that one i am using a lot.

This past season was BY FAR my most enjoyable and most successful (not mutually exclusive). I started Modern in Diamond 1 and Wild in Champ 3. I played Modern into Champ 3, then let the bot play Wild into Champ 2. Then I went back and played exclusively Modern for most of the season and broke into Modern Champ 1 with about 3 days left and a Top 25 ranking. With a camping music festival on the weekend, I decided to leave Modern where it was and let the bot play the last 3 days of the season in Wild. By the EoS, I was in Champ 1 for modern and wild, although I only got leaderboard payout for modern. First time I have finished both formats in Champ 1.

I had also never finished in the Leaderboard ranking before! And while I got bumped into the Top50 for 20K DEC instead of 40K, I didn't take a cool screen pic like you did to immortalize the moment. Hopefully, there will be many more leaderboard finishes in the years to come!

I am in agreement with you that this is the best place I've seen the Splinterlands game ecosystem in some time. While we all want to see SPS rise in price, we have to be cognizant of its print rate and the abundance of these tokens that will come into the market over the next few years. The flywheel will be able to provide some help once demand for DEC picks up, but it will only go so far until DEC needs are satiated and the flywheel pressure eases off. Despite their inflationary nature, I still enjoy the cards as my primary investment vehicle.

Oh yeah, about the content stuff though... definitely going to be making a bigger effort to post more than just the (non-existant for the last few months) brawl reports.

One thing I will try to do more consistently is post battle links and quick-hitting match details in LeoThreads for twitter-like coverage on Hive Blockchain.

congrats on finishing in the top 50.

>predictions for the release of Land 1.5?

I just hope that the game will become easier after people will start staking cards.

Nice job getting DEC rewards. It just looks way harder in Silver/Gold modern after the changes. I started off the seasons with a losing streak but I do wonder where things will level off in the seasons. 

I'm completely disconnected from the game. Does the lack of bots seem to be hurting the game at all?

8 gold chests here, but wholly underwhelming. Really looking forward to some new developments in this game, and even more optimistic for SK...even though I only have 2 packs.

I have always loved the TD style of game, all the way back to WC3 custom maps. God I hope we stop circling the drain soon.

You actually did well in this season with what I just saw now
If you continue like this or even strive harder, it won't be bad
Keep it up!
