As 2024 is ending, I am decently satisfied with my progress on the soulbound reward cards. Currently, we can collect Rebellion soulbound rewards as well as Gladius cards. The latter has been a long-term project, which is now beginning to come to an end for me.
In this post I go over how far my collection has come so far for these two sets. I hope to be near to close to completion on both of them at the end of 2025.

Rebellion reward progress
These progress images are screenshots from the splintercards soulbound monitor.
My overall rebellion reward progress looks like this:

I have taken a laid-back approach to collecting these. I am basing my progress mainly on the first batch of minor and major chests, and then some legendary draws. Early on, I was also doing epic draws, but I stopped that for the moment. Doing mainly chests gives me more energy, which equates to more sps, and progress seems to be quick enough to at least max out the rares and commons well before these go out of print. Legendaries are the hardest to come by, and even if they are not as strong as the chaos soulbound reward legendaries, I still want to max them if I can
My common progress is like this:
I am not really using many of these in battles yet. Probably I will begin doing that after the next set rotation. The first maxed card looks like its going ot the either the Chaos Evoker or the Giant Alpine Skink.
Rare progress is lagging a little bit for me currently, but there is always the possibility of speeding that up with some rare card draws. The first batch of those costs 75000 Glint and pushes progress almost 10%, so there are not many of those needed to max the set. I am quite lucky to have made the most progress on the Dark Arborist, which I consider among the best of the set.
My epic draws are decent enough. Olivia and Arachne Weaver and Halfling Refugee are clearly the best, and I am making ok progress on them (apart from Weaver).
My legendary progress is only 36% overall. I didn't have much luck with my chest draws for legendaries, and I have had to do a lot of direct legendary draws to make any progress at all. The only one of these I use yet is the Frigid Wolf, but its mostly just a filler card that gives a little bit of extra value in Fog of War matches.

Gladius reward progress

I just recently received my final rare gladius bcx which completed the rare collection. I had completed 9/10 cards a while ago, but due to random factors I was lagging behind on Alfredo.
With the commons, I am making quite steady progress. Katrelba is lagging slightly behind, and Bertrol is slightly ahead. Otherwise these seem to be completed in the not-so-distant future.
For the epics, I have maxed 3/5, but unfortunately I am still missing a lot of Quoras. Sadly, she is the most useful among the five, and the one I would have liked to max first.
For the legendaries I also have very uneven progress. For the longest time I was not able to get a single bcx of Fina, but now I have a few. 5/7 are already maxed, and I have burned a few bcx of them too. It would have been nice to have a maxed Fina, but my favorites are Jini and Tatiana. Both of these see regular play in my brawls.
I hope to max out my gladius collection in 2025. With some luck, that should be possible, but I could also end up missing a few legendary bcx at the end of 2025. We will see...

Curious. I basically ditched chests and was doing the rarity draws, since I mainly got potions. Now wondering if I should change strategy! 😁 Happy New Year!
The energy makes the minor and major chests pretty cheap, as long as you can spend the energy. At least for common chests, you draw so many that you can't really get that unlucky with potions. I place some value on merits still, so that's why I've gone with this strategy :)
Rarity draws make for more steady progress though.
Checked Splintercards today, I'm sooo far behind. Oh well... slow and steady; maybe I'll try the chests strategy in one of the seasons and see how I fare! :) Cheers, mate! !BEER

.Wow that looks amazing! I wish I was that far on the gladiators... but I'm decent, considering that I'm playing actively in a guild for a year now :-D The reward cards are doing a lot better, though :-)
Good luck in the future, especially with Quora!
Thanks! Yeah I'm quite pleased with the gladiators. That's three years of consistent brawling, but the real progress started with merits in ranked reward chests.
I hope I'll get there some day! Congratulations :-)
Wow a bit jealous on you gladius collection...
battling brawls now for also 3 years (i might not directly started with brawls)
I was lucky to be taken into PeakMonsters Legion early on in my Splinterlands Career, and we were advancing quite early to the higher tiers. We stopped at tier 4 though, which is good for Merits, but not so much for SPS.
You have some above average legendary and epic progress there by the looks of it, nice!
Thanks for sharing! - @yonilkar
