Where am I competitive

avatar

As a relatively new player to Splinterland, I find that I am not competitive against many of the older players in tournaments. Part of this is due to them having many more cards than I have and also having them upgraded. A lot of it is also experience in using those cards that they own.

Tournaments

Novice and Bronze

I have found that I can compete in some Novice and Bronze tournaments. Especially when it involves the "Chaos Legion Editions Only" with no legendaries.
My deck is a level 2(Bronze) deck which has a copy of all Common, Rare and Epic cards. I also have a few legendaries(fiends) but not all of them.

With a copy of each card I am purely going up against the same cards in Novice tournaments and have just a slight disadvantage when entering bronze tournaments.
My epics are mostly at level 1 and not level 2 for max bronze participation.

Novice SPS

Here is a tournament where you need 206 staked SPS to enter. I don't have enough staked to enter most of the tournaments. This one also gives you money back if you are in the bronze league or below.

Holding first place for awhile

Midway though the tournament I was holding first place during the first round.

Final Round

In the final Round I had dropped to 5th place with a couple of battles left to be played.

Completion

In the end I had dropped to 15th place just 2 wins behind the winners.

Conclusion

I was paid 6 SPS for my 15th place. This was equivalent to my entry fee of 400 DEC so I broke even on the tournament and had a lot of fun.

These tournaments are also practice for the modern format which will be starting soon.

My girlfriend broke up with me because I quote Linkin Park too much.
But in the end, it doesn’t even matter.

I have actually spent a bit more on cards then you have. That makes up a bit of difference. Having those epics to play with.
You did beat me handily in the one round we played against each other.

I think the tournaments are way more profitable if you are in the league that gives you the discount. Back when I was doing tournaments, I would do that because the loss wouldn't affect me as much. I still think you did a great job on ranking in the tournaments though.

Thanks. My current problem is the amount of SPS that I have staked. I only qualify to enter the lowest level tournaments. Possibly I could wait for season start and enter when I was still in Bronze to get the big discount.

I suggest joining the tournaments when you are in bronze to get the maximum benefit. Maybe you can skip tournaments after you have moved up the brackets.
