Splinterlands - From Gold to Champion
Two days before the end of the season I made it to the Champions League. Champion III to be more accurate. Diamond league was a walk in the park 😊.
Obviously, this jump needed some investments, cards upgrade, and a lot of matches played.
Before the league started, I received the SeedGerminator Promo Cards and had some extra to invest in. I went out and sold some of them. Next I Maxed out the Selnia Alpha card.
The progress that I managed to do is mostly because of the Max out Selenia legendary summoner. I tried to level up ranged units as well that Selenia will lead and did some progress there but there is still a lot to upgrade. Mostly I’m playing Selenia in combination with the water monsters, neutral ones and the legendary Lightning Dragon. On the second place is the green summoner.
The downside of making to the Champions League with Selenia maxed out is that this season I have skipped the daily quests. My other summoners are still mostly on level 5. If I have played them, I wouldn’t make it to champions league. This means I have missed some reward cards from the daily quests, but I will be getting minimum of 80 cards at the season end. Before I was getting around 30. So, this is a compensation of 50 cards for the missed daily quests. Also, me being higher on the rankings is bringing more DEC from the daily wins.
At this moment I have a rank of 102. Just a little bit more to enter the top 100 that are shown on the leaderboard. Also, I believe that the top 50 are receiving beta packs as a reward on top of the reward cards. The no.1 on the leaderboard gets 200 beta packs.
All in all, this is a compromise with its pro and cons. Hope to get some valuable cards at the season end that will make it possible to start maxing out the other summoners. That should be fun with more then 80 cards to open.

Amazing progress you have made here!
Okay you did make some sacrifices but I guess they were worth it! Now get into that top 100!
I am trying to end into Gold I, will be quite a challenge. It could have been easier. I did get a golden foil Manticore this season as reward card and decided to sell. Than I had to think what to do with the extra 33 steem. Invest it into other cards and use it to power up! I decided for the power up! Investing 33 steem into my card would have made a difference! But the choice was made and there is no reason to look back and moan about the taken decision!
Cheers,

Thanks :)
I'm just on the edge with this cards and having only one strong summoners is a limitation.
But with some luck and consistencies I may enter the top 100. Never the less I'm happy with this as well.
For your case, powering up is always a good thing I believe and SP have a lot of use cases this days. With the upcoming 50/50 economics it will become even more attractive. So there no right or wrong I guess. Plus it depends where your focus will be .... blogging, curating or SM. I for sure wasn't planning to play SM this much :) But it just dragged me in.
I don't regret the choice at all.
SM did cost me already too much steem, so it was take to decrease the loss! I still have some summoners which I do want to sell. But I keep on hestitating. That will force me to make a decision to invest into the other summoners to get those to level 5, which will require another investement in the according monster to max them out to the new power of the summoner.
For the moment I will keep postponing this and will see what the future brings.
How do you use the earned DEC?
Cheers,
Peter
I'm buying Alpha cards with the DEC :)
Can you do that directly? Or is it more like selling DEC on steem-engine, transfering the steem out and purchasing the card on the market with liquid steem?
Using Steem Engine as you described it.
