I was away from the blockchain for about two full months and I didn't play #Splinterlands at all since mid-february until late April. Of course, I found that I was demoted to Novice League and had to earn my place back to Silver from the start. ![](https://i.imgur.com/FOd3bIK.jpg) So the last Season was a catch-up season for me. My rental contracts (for most the rented cards) have passed, so if I'm going to play in Gold League again I will have to re-rent them. In this Season, I have reached Silver III with Level 1 summoners (it helps that I have some Epic and Legendary monsters which are strong even at Level 1.) I haven't got back to my pace of 20+ battle per day, so I'll have to work on that for the next season (the current one.) I still have a lot of catching up to do~ ------------------------ #### New Cards I #Earned This Season The only notable thing I earned this month is an **Essence Orb.** I got it from the Season Rewards and redeeming one gives 5 Promo Edition cards and the ones I've got are these: ![EssenceCards](https://i.imgur.com/8AdmUgS.jpg) **I like all these monsters!** The Fire Monster: **Molten Ogre** was one of the monsters I regrualy rent because of his Demoralize ability. **Goblin Chef** & **Undead Archer** are nice low Mana monsters. Finally **Armorsmith** is one of the cards I really wanted to have for my Light Splinter teams. It was one of my least used Splinters for a reason, and the ability to repair armor makes using the splinter more appealing. ![WarriorOfPeace](https://i.imgur.com/eAAt1aN.jpg) I earned some Reward cards from quest and season rewards but all of them were Common monsters (or Rare monsters that I don't plan on using.) Some of them seem nice, like **Warrior of Peace,** but for now I'll stick with my original teams. So, that's it for this Season. Here I am hoping to do many times better job at the next (current) Season. ~ Peace ~
