⚔️ Day 6 in Splinterlands: Frontier Format Was Brutal — Back to Bronze III!

Today was a reality check.
I wanted to try something new, so I went all in on the Frontier format—and wow… it's unforgiving.

I started the day in Bronze II, full of energy and optimism. But after grinding out just enough battles to earn 6 reward cards, my Energy Capture Rate (ECR) dropped to 23/50, and I got knocked all the way back to Bronze III. Ouch.

🤯 Lessons learned about the difficulty in Frontier

Frontier format definitely feels more intense:

More meta-aware opponents

Greater card variety (no restrictions = tougher matchups)

My limited collection is no match for maxed or high-level cards

Lesson of the day: Frontier isn’t for the under-geared or under-prepared.

🔄 Tomorrow's Plan: Back to Modern

To recover, I’ll return to the Modern format, where my limited card pool (mostly Rebellion and Conclave Arcana) can still hold its own.

The goal:

• Climb back to Bronze II or higher

• Collect more Glint + reward cards

• Slowly build a stronger core.

To those more experienced:

Do you play Frontier regularly, or avoid it with a limited deck?

What’s the best strategy to recover ECR while still progressing?

Should I focus only on Modern until I get stronger cards?

Every loss is still a lesson, and while today was a setback, I’m not giving up. I’m learning what works (and what doesn't), and I’m more motivated than ever to build a better deck and climb back up.

Your support and advice mean a lot—keep guiding me as I grow stronger in this game!
