Yet another Steem Monsters season. Do I go on?

in #steemmonsters6 years ago

Yesterday another season ended with me just scraping into Silver I. For the last couple I have mostly just been doing some of the daily quests to win a few more cards, but this is not helping much. What I really need are upgraded summoners, but I never win those cards. Of course I could buy them, but I am dedicating my Steem to powering up. I have some Level 4 cards, but my summoners (Water, Earth, Death) are only L2 and others are L1. I'm not asking for any, just saying.

been sending me some as a wind-up as he knows I don't use them. They are not worth much.My winnings were not too spectacular. I got a few more 'special' cards and even more Rusty Androids. @slobberchops has

Winnings 2

According to the SM Discord bot my cards keep increasing in value, but it's not enough to be worth selling, although I am a little tempted to just get rid of the lot sometimes.

Value

These days it seems I will win a few easy battles, but as soon as I encounter someone with decent cards I lose and that wipes out the points from several wins. So progress is very slow. I just did a Water DQ in the new season and am already down on the points I started with.

I wonder if the cards will ever increase much in value. If not then I may as well dump them now to power up some more. I am running a giveaway for a card, but only one person has shown an interest so far. I could use my playing time for something more productive. I may see how it goes for this season and then make a decision.

Stay tuned...

SM definitely isn't one to play if your interested in productivity, stick with the chicken videos for that, I imagine that's also a lot more fun.

Maybe a series about the garden instead - I'd always planned to an allotment vlog, there's some easy steem for doing something constructive and enjoyable!

As I've said before I quite like the combination of giveaways and playing for a few minutes a day, anymore than ten games in a row gets a bit tedious, up until that point it's quite a nice after dinner zone out.

You need to blow $100 on it to make it enjoyable I think. You might get away with $50. I just looked at it as another crypto gamble.

It has definitely been a little tougher. I kind of have a theory about it, but I am saving that for a post next week 😃

It's just a game for me, so if it stops being fun, then why continue? I have more productive things to occupy my time.

Indeed. It's no fun when it seems like work. I haven't bothered to collect my rewards yet. I think my full deck is worth a bit though.

That's a nice amount

I haven't played in any tournaments yet.

Thanks! I was trying to find that command again!

I get the Dragon Summoner from the DQ or purchase them for about .30cents and level it up to level 3 which allows me to play my level 5 commons and level 4 rares and level 3 epics and level 2 legendary with a total of 6 Daria Dragonscale Rewards Cards. (.30x6=$1.80)

This makes up for when I lose in my DQ and I pullout my level 3 Dragon Summoner and easily WIN to get those points back that I previously lost!

I also have mostly level 2 regular summoners which is needed to get my DQ Rewards Cards. I usually keep in the range of 1600-2200 Rank/Points every 2 weeks using this strategy.

Don't give up yet @steevc

SM card delegation I read is just around the corner. Collect, Trade, HODL just the same with STEEM/Bitcoin/Crypto.

I have a dragon summoner at L1. Not really used it, but maybe I should.

I will meet you half way and send you 1 dragon summoner and now you only need 1 more to get it to level 2 which will allow you to play level 3 commons and level 3 rares and level 2 epics and level 1 legendary.

You will enjoy that extra +1 melee attack using double sneaks!

See you on the battle field @steevc

That's very generous of you. I guess I have to buy at least one more now :) I'll see when I have some spare Steem as I've powered it all up for now. Many thanks

Try selling the crap that you get as rewards, its easy to do and I don't believe for a minute they are going up in value. 100's more are made every day, they will go down if anything.

They might go up in value, people are idiots.

I have set some new targets for me to enter Top 50 this season, no idea I will manage it but the girls are on vacation so maybe this is the chance.

Great news is that card delegations are now possible.

Card delegation could change things. I realise I'd need to invest a bit to improve my cards, but I'm just powering up for now. I wish you all the best with the game. Are you doing the tournaments?

Thanks mate - I did a lot tournaments in the beginning and was not too bad but then realized I have not the deck building skills as others so reduced them a bit - but I will invest a bit time this week to actually learn.
