We are close to the end of the Ranked season at Splinterlands, and it's time to see my progress on maxing out my Rebellion soulbound reward cards.

*It's the second time I write this journaling kind of post, this time in a different front end, hopefully more successfully. Luckily, the calculations didn't get lost with the post (and the draft)...*

Many duplicates this season. For example, only 1 in 15 epic draws is "useful" for my progress, all the rest are duplicates of already maxed cards.

So, let's see what I did with the Glint this season.

I purchased 5 legendary draws, 15 epic draws, 100 rare draws, and 142 common draws. I have no Glint left.

That makes it easy to see how much Glint I earned this season (including the season rewards from last season). That makes it a total of 383,800 Glint used for draw purchases this season (+0 remaining in my stash for a total of 383,800). Last season I had a total of 367,850 Glint in purchases. That means I spent 15,950 more Glint this season.

Let's keep a table too, going forward:

|Season since New SB Set |Glint Used to Purchase Draws |Difference|
| --- | --- | --- |
|Season 5|363,200| |
|Season 6|344,400|-18,800 Glint|
|Season 7|352,700|+8,300 Glint|

Let's see what my current situation of the Rebellion SB set completion progress is so far:

 | Season since New SB Set | Commons % | Rares % | Epics % | Legendaries % |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
|Season 1 |1 / 0 | 2 / 0 | 8 / 0| 9 / 0 |
| Season 2 | 2 / 1| 2 / 0 | 9 / 0| 17 / 0|
| Season 3| 3 / 1| 2 / 0 | 10 / 0 | 23 / 0|
| Season 4| 5 / 2| 3 / 1 | 12 / 0 | 27 / 0|
| Season 5| 7 / 2| 4 / 2 | 13 / 0 | 36 / 0|
| Season 6| 8 / 3| 5 / 2 | 15 / 0 | 42 / 0|
| Season 7| 9 / 3| 6 / 2 | 15 / 0 | 51 / 0|
| Season 8| 10 / 3| 7 / 2 | 17 / 0 | 58 / 0|
| Season 9| 10 / 3| 7 / 2 | 24 / 1 | 61 / 0|
| Season 10| 19 / 5 | 14 / 4 | 31 / 4 | 63 / 0|
| Season 11| 28 / 6 | 22 / 4 | 39 / 6 | 65 / 0|
| Season 12| 37 / 8 | 29 / 5 | 47 / 9 | 65 / 0|
| Season 13| 44 / 9 | 37 / 5 | 54 / 11 | 67 / 0|
| Season 14| 52 / 11 | 45 / 5 | 62 / 11 | 67 / 0|
| Season 15| 61 / 13 | 53 / 5 | 70 / 13 | 67 / 0|
| Season 16| 66 / 14 | 61 / 6 | 79 / 14 | 67 / 0|
| Season 17| 75 / 17 | 70 / 8 | 85 / 16 | 67 / 0|
| Season 18| 84 / 19 | 78 / 8 | 91 / 17 | 67 / 0|
| Season 19| 89 / 20 | 81 / 9 | 93 / 19 | 73 / 0|
| Season 20 (current)| 92 / 21 | 86 / 10 | 94 / 19 | 76 / 2|

That's +3% to the progress of legendary cards (and +2% to GFL, after my first one in the current soulbound set), +1% progress to epic cards (and +2% to epic GF), +5% progress to rare cards (and +1% to the rare GF), and 3% progress to the common cards (and +1% to the common GF).

I now have 5/7 maxed out epics and 2/12 maxed out legendary cards. I also have 2/12 maxed common and 4/12 maxed rare cards now.

I will continue to push for legendary draws first, epics second (because maxing out the last two ones will be difficult), rare 3rd (because they are further from 100% than commons despite having more maxed cards), and commons last (because they are the main beneficiary of cards from chests too).

I will likely start burning some of the duplicates for Glint to speed up the progress, because we don't know how much time is left, and the number of batch 1 draws is limited every season.

Here are the "before and after" snapshots for the Rebellion SB legendary cards, which are my current main focus. "Before" first:
> 2 at level 4 (max level), 9 at level 3, 1 at level 1

And now the current levels of the legendary cards...

*My Rebellion SB legendary cards: 2 at level 4 (max level), 9 at level 3, 1 at level 1.*

This season, no legendary card got upgraded.
 
Perhaps a more relevant metric is the amount of Glint already spent compared to the total amount needed to max out the SB set (only regulars).

Here' s my situation:

<center>*Glint needed for a fully upgraded regular Rebellion SB set, w/o doubles:*
**8,790,000** Glint

*Glint value of the cards collected so far (ignore GF and doubles):*
**7,332,650** Glint

*Progress percentage:*
**83.42%**

*Estimated^ time to max out the RF cards (or GF, where possible):*
**5 more seasons (2.5 months, i.e. end-August)**
<sup>^) *estimation now includes tier advancement rewards (average last 3 seasons); estimation doesn't account for Glint wasted on pulling doubles of maxed out cards or GF instead of RF (where GF card level isn't high enough)*</sup>

Last season's Glint value of cards collected: 7,105,800.
Difference: **226,850** Glint-worth of cards this season, including tier advancement rewards.

|Season 20(current)|226,850|-148,950 Glint|
|*__Last 3 seasons' average__*|*__301,683__*||

The progress this season has dropped to a snail's pace due to duplicates. If it continues like that, I'll be collecting these cards well into the fall, if they don't switch the sets.
