My Splinterlands Journey: Playing, Renting Cards, and Buying Starter Packs!
On Splinterlands there are several game modes to choose from or to play simultaneously.
I am an active player:
- in **Modern Format**
- in **Survival Mode**
- in the new **Frontier Mode**
- in **Brawls**
- in **Land** and **Conflicts**
In this post I share **my game activity, progress and strategies in the three Ranked Play game modes** I play in.
# My FRONTIER Game Activity and Progress
The **Frontier Mode** was in my opinion **the coolest and most recent addition** because:
- it is a **fun and completely free-to-play game mode** = great starting point for new players
- it is a **play mode for human players only** = bots and battle helpers are not allowed.
I started playing in Frontier mode from the first day of its release (29 July 2025).
I have been quite constant in playing except for a period of 10 days when I was on holiday with my family.
In the next picture you can see **my most recent battle** I played in Frontier Mode.

My game results have improved since I found the legendary card **Mystic Scaleweaver** among the daily rewards
In my opinion Mystic Scaleweaver is one of the cards that makes the difference in Frontier Mode especially because the combination **Marlai Singariel (archon) + Mystic Scaleweaver** allows you to use a card with **magic attack = 3** in battle.
You can see Marlai Singariel (archon) + Mystic Scaleweaver in action if you click on the next battle link.

Although I am not in the award-winning positions (top 50) of the Silver Leaderboard my results are improving season after season and I think they will improve more significantly when I manage to increase the level of my Frontier archons.
I am a few BCX away from completing the upgrade from level 1 to level 2 of the archons:
- Marlai Singariel (I'm 2 BCX away)

- Incessant Sage (I'm missing 1 BCX)
- Thalgrimore (I'm missing 1 BCX)

# My MODERN Game Activity and Progress
I like playing in Frontier Mode, but I also like playing in the **Modern Format** because both of these formats are exclusively for human players and there are no bots.
**Playing against a bot equals 0 fun for me!**
In the **Modern Format** I play with a **card collection** consisting of **517 cards** (owned + soulbound) **= 9407 BCX = 159810 CP** which you can see from here -> [My Modern Cards](https://peakmonsters.com/@libertycrypto27/cards)
https://peakmonsters.com/@libertycrypto27/cards
This season I am in the Gold II league and am at **place 43** on the **Gold Leaderboard** with 262 battles played and 127 wins.
I still have 2 days and 20 hours to improve my season results and hope to finish the season at least in the Gold I league.
In Modern Format I only have **three top level archons**:
- **Akane** (owned by me)
- **Avina Of The Wolf** (rented)
- **Nomos** (rented)
My gaming results in Modern Format have improved significantly with the rental of Avina Of The Wolf and Nomos.
I was lucky to find these two summoners at a rental price that was not too high, so today I renewed my rental for the next season to avoid forgetting to do so.
https://peakmonsters.com/@libertycrypto27/cards
To use these two summoners I spend 84.46 DEC per day but at the same time I receive 76.26 DEC per day for renting my cards so I have a negative but small renting balance = -8.20 DEC per day.
I would love to rent another top level summoner but as you can see in the next image the rental costs are very high and would consume most of the SPS income I get from playing.
https://peakmonsters.com/rentals
In the next image you can see a recent battle I won in Modern Format where I could not use Akane level 4 (= probable defeat for me) and I used Avina of the Wolf
View this Battle -> [Battle Link](https://splinterlands.com/battle/sl_7b83fc8c801aca14a223fc0360f6921f?ref=libertycrypto27)
The battle victory allowed me to gain **4.32 SPS** which equates to a value of **47.26 DEC**.
This shows the goodness of my choice of renting Avina Of The Wolf because with an extra battle victory obtained thanks to this summoner I totally recovered the daily rental cost.
In order to increase the level of my archons of the Conclave Arcana set and also to increase the level of the Conclave Arcana unit cards I decided to focus on buying **Starter packs** but only if the estimated value calculated by Peakmonsters is higher than the purchase price.
https://peakmonsters.com/packs
Today I bought **7 Starter Packs** and spent **7K DEC**.
In the next pictures you can see the 35 cards I found inside the 7 starter packs I bought.
[My Packs Opening Link](https://splinterlands.com/mana-well?t=7458a6f18457633e5f71f87a9c02ad0f77d21d5c&ref=libertycrypto27)
I haven't found enough copies to do any level upgrades on my Conclave Arcana cards, but I am approaching the threshold of 400K DEC spent on buying packs of cards that will allow me to receive a Mage Wagon.
# My SURVIVAL Game Activity and Progress
I don't play in the Wild Format because my seasonal gain would be consumed by the cost of the Wild Pass and XBOT's fees but **I play in Survival Mode using [XBOT](https://xbot.app/home)** because in this format there is no Wild Pass and I get a seasonal gain in SPS.
https://xbot.app/
As I explained in my previous post the current season will be the last season of the current Survival Mode because from next season the Survival Mode will enter a pause phase to allow the development team to implement the changes approved in the [SPS DAO Proposal - Survival Test](https://peakd.com/@clayboyn/sps-dao-proposal-survival-test)
||Post Link: [Survival Mode Paused After Current Season: Rework Incoming!](https://peakd.com/hive-146620/@libertycrypto27/survival-mode-paused-after-current)|
|-|-|
I really liked the [SPS DAO Proposal - Survival Test](https://peakd.com/@clayboyn/sps-dao-proposal-survival-test) because human players will finally be able to use their wild cards also in Ranked Play without being forced to play against bots!
Screenshot from: [SPS DAO Proposal - Survival Test](https://peakd.com/@clayboyn/sps-dao-proposal-survival-test)
In the current season, XBOT played 131 battles, obtaining 81 victories (win rate: 61.83%).
Because there are only 2 days and 20 hours left until the end of the season today I configured XBOT to play 50 more battles per day (50 -> 100) so that I can use all my summoners before the Survival Mode break starts.
When I will have all my summoners in cooldown in Survival Mode I will put all my wild cards available for rent.
I will remove all my wild cards from the rental market when the new version of Survival Mode will be released because my intention is to play manually in the brackets where bots are not allowed.
I hope I have given you useful information and some interesting thoughts and thank you for taking the time to read this post :)

Su Splinterlands ci sono diverse modalità di gioco tra cui scegliere oppure a cui giocare contemporaneamente.
Io sono un giocatore attivo:
- nel **Modern Format**
- nel **Survival Mode**
- nel nuovo **Frontier Mode**
- nelle **Brawls**
- nelle **Land** e nei **Conflicts**

In questo post condivido la **mia attività di gioco, i miei progressi e le miei strategie nelle tre modalità di gioco del Ranked Play** in cui gioco.

Il **Frontier Mode** è stato secondo me la più bella e recente aggiunta perchè:
- è una **modalità di gioco divertente e completamente free-to-play** = ottimo punto di partenza per i nuovi giocatori
- è una **modalità di gioco solo per i giocatori umani** = i bots e i battle helpers non sono consentiti.

Ho iniziato a giocare nel Frontier mode fin dal primo giorno del suo rilascio (29 luglio 2025).
Sono stato abbastanza costante nel giocare tranne un periodo di 10 giorni in cui sono stato in vacanza con la mia famiglia.
Nella prossima immagine puoi vedere la mia più recente battaglia che ho giocato nel Frontier Mode.
