@riandeuk
While I was initially not very active playing Splinterlands after my holidays (still did my daily quest and played a match here and there but that was it) I made a decision to push forward at the seasons end. How? By getting more familiar with the rental system 2.0 and really looking at long term higher league solutions. Although it felt risky at first to spend a lot of dec to possibly get more rewards, it seems to be paying off and I have yet to really find my way to make it all more efficient.
I think the release of the splintershards governance token made me more motivated to advance and reap more rewards. Result is I still got a load of good rentals for the coming 20 days or so and reached diamond league 2 in the season. This means I started the next season in gold 3 netting me 6 chests a day from the get go. Pretty good :-)
I'd tell you all about SPS and how some are disappointed as they seemed to think it was only gonna go up, they clearly have no idea how this works. But there's lots of info on that and I'm kinda short on time today so I'll focus on the season stats. Let's jump into the numbers shall we?
Match Report

| Longest Streak | 12 |
| Highest Rated Win vs | @soytumadre (3331) |
As @legendarycanary had foreseen, fighting more at the end of the season and renting some strong max lvl summoners and monsters helped boosting my performance. As I really can't miss a daily quest I made sure to rent many neutrals and two strong splinters. 1.66 ratio is really nice and I got my first 12 win streak I think :-)
Top 10 Summoner Usage
| Summoner | Frequency | Teams Fielded | Win Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lyanna Natura | 104 | 43.88% | 64.42% |
| Malric Inferno | 68 | 28.69% | 69.12% |
| Alric Stormbringer | 50 | 21.10% | 64.00% |
| Tyrus Paladium | 10 | 4.22% | 20.00% |
| Zintar Mortalis | 3 | 1.27% | 0.00% |
| Mylor Crowling | 2 | 0.84% | 100.00% |
As I got myself a max lvl lyanna and malric (or maybe lvl 7 as the price difference was huge) they are obviously at the top. Alric was my backup splinter and I think it was at lvl 6 still getting me some quests and wins here and there.

Naturally these match the summoners, note the many neutral monsters high in the list. It's how I started renting: get some strong neutral legendaries and stomp through the ranks. It actually felt like cheating at the time :-P

No golds, no legendaries, I actually hoped for a bit more since the season end netted me 50! chests. Still made some good rewards: 13054 DEC in total earnings..
Collection progress since last season
Let's have a look at the progress compared to earlier seasons:
Well, that's easy money almost x3 the collection value ofthe season before. It actually went all the way up to 425$ at some point during the peak just around the start of SPS airdrop. Crazy to think this happened while my collection power only grew by 1k dec. 15k is a nice milestone since that would allow me to stay in silver league even without renting cards, given that I also don't rent any out of course.. For now I don't plan on that as it's just too lucrative to rent and advance when you play daily. I actually rent out most of my cards since they're not relevant in the league I try to reach. This way I off set some of the rental costs with the rental income. I definitely aim to reach diamond 2 again in the current season and hope to pull some gold or legendary cards (or maybe both if I get lucky :-)) and really advance my own deck, for now: quite happy with these numbers and the progress! Especially when thinking I only ever put 12 dollar in the game to start 4-5 months ago.

Ouch! That's a lot of dec spent on rentals hehe, pretty sure I'm earning more with it than it cost me, I rented many cards for 30 days or more and I'm tweaking my strategy daily to get more value and a more efficient system. I should have earned more than this number by the time the next report is due, to be continued I guess :-)
That's all for now! Hope you enjoy the report and had a great season for yourself. If you haven't started playing yet you're too late sorry....
Ok maybe there's still time, the prices do seem high now (not trying to sound like Elon here) but you can start with just the spellbook and learn to play the game. Maybe rent a few simple cards to experiment and advance slowly. At some point you'll get the hang of it and can decide wether to invest or just slowly grind to the top, your choice! You can find the game here.

you were unlucky with your pulls, gold foils will skew everything. renting is doing fine for me, im still happy to spend DEC while others are sitting on it for SPS gains.
your collection will be at $1000 in no time ...
Yeah definitely unlucky, it will come back though rng eh. Gotta spend some dec to earn more dec. Could sit on it and get small sps airdrops now or try and build it up and get more rewards and airdrop. The year is far from over and there's a future after that too.
1k$ seems far away but it's not impossible, all in due time.
What did you mention in the reply on my last comment (last season) I saw you posted something but I don't think the reply came through.
I've actually been renting max (or close to it) cards.. it's just that the summoners are so ridiculously priced right now. Hope I can get some chaos legion summoners to max lvl for keeps. Even though I knew many predicted the summoners to grow in value I never expected this. And at the time it seemed expensive to jump in and buy them even though they were 50 cents per bcx :-p
not sure if the luck is returning yet...
