Whenever I play Splinterlands, I struggle to find my cards within the time frame that the game provides. Maybe I'm rather slow or maybe I simply have too many cards...
I tend to let a bot play with my deck most of the time. Some days however, I like to play some manual games and I also do brawls on a regular basis. But each time, it's the same problem. Too many cards or not enough time to come up with my line up. So I decided to clean up my deck. The idea is to reduce the number of my cards.
Soulbound Reward Cards
When I look at the Splintercards tool that shows me the level of my reward cards, I see that most of my reward cards are maxed out. However, I have many cards developed as regular and gold foil cards. My first step to clean our these reward cards is to burn either the gold or the regular foil of each card for glint.
This is nice but this won't really reduce the cards to chose from when I start a game.
I will do the same exercise for my Gladius cards.
Which cards do I really need?
When I select all my cards in Peakmonsters, I get a total of 2056 cards! Let me assure you that we definitely don't need that many cards to play the game successfully. I want to reduce this number of cards and to do so, I will need to do more than some cosmetics. I really want to change things.
Splinter by Splinter
To get started I go to Splinterlands and I select all cards of one single splinter. Let's start with red.
I have a total of 71 different cards in red. Again that's by far too many.
When I click on each of these cards, I can see when was the last time that I played the card.
Checking this for each card takes some time but it's the only way to really go forward.
There would be another solution to save a lot of time with peakmonsters prime function that allows to do that in a much more efficient manner
Now, taking into account that my bot probably plays around 20 games per day and that in addition to that, I play manual games and brawls. There are probably around 600 games played per month. If a card hasn't been played during the last 30 days, I would say that I don't need this card. That is how I define which cards are needed and which ones are not.
I've decided to put all cards that I haven't played in the last 30 days for sale. Not only will it allow me to reduce the number of cards to chose from for the game line up, it will provide some funds to purchase new cards or develop existing ones.
Once, I'm done for the normal cards, I will do the same for reward and gladius cards. I mean what's the purpose on fully developed card that I don't need? With the glints and merits that I receive from burning these cards, I can purchase new cards that I need more.
This whole process takes quite a lot of time and I'm in the middle of it. I try to do around 1 splinter every day. It's manual and boring work but I believe that it's necessary to optimise my deck from a game play and also from a financial perspective.
