I had a pretty good season on @splinterlands. I am not sure what my best rank was before, but it may have been Diamond III. This time I crept up to Diamond I. I had completed my daily challenge yesterday and thought I would shoot for Champion III (3700 points) as it would gain me an extra 20 chests. As you can see below I got within one point of it and then suffered a series of defeats that knocked me back. I was not feeling like carrying on at that point and so accepted what I had.

Diamond I is not so bad. I have level 4 summoners. At that level I was meeting some with level 8 and above. There are some battles you know you cannot win. I know some people get to Diamond with level 1 cards, but their strategy must be much better than mine.

I did buy a few nice cards with my powered down Steem, but may need to upgrade some others to improve my chances.

I won more of cards I already have. I keep getting Warrior if Peace and Baby Unicorn, but rarely play Life. The orb got me some more cards that were not exciting. 

I will see if I can get a little further this season. If you are not already playing then please use [this link](https://steemmonsters.com?ref=steevc). I will get a little something when you buy cards.

See you on the battlefield!
