Splinterlands End of season report for "Team Photo", & My goals for the upcoming season

Hello there Splinterlands community, this is the first time I post in this community and as this is a source of much prestige for the community. I would like to say, you are welcome! Now read my rant!

This season was the first one i really got "in to" Splinterlands, that is "got in to" it like I sometimes tend to do with things. Compulsivly, obbsessively, autisticly!

I try to be a down to earth investor person, but when I know, I know!

I was blessed enough last March to get that feeling about Hive, and also another great game on the Hive Blockchain, but patient growth and accumulation of "wealth" (by my standards) in that game now allow me more wiggle room than many to finance the growth of my Monster fighting team.

Which I have to say it's hard to name a sports team, as I was going for something scary like "The Raptors" or "Grizzlies" but also more "folksy" I eventually was trying out "The pedophiles" but my fiancé said I am not getting the concept right, neither "scary" nor "folksy" for that matter.

She might be right, so I have postponed naming the team, but ruling out altogether "The pedophiles". ... To be clear...

Like mentioned above, in a fury I sold my Splinterlands collection at the "Hive" peak (then), when 1 HIVE reached 1USD in value. I regretted it almost instantly and made some sort of post claiming i'd "reclaim my respect" in the Splinterlandsworld which at that time as well as of the time of this writing is absolutely non-existent.

Since i am not capable of finding my battle history at the moment due to intoxication and inherent lazy-ness, I will focus this post on the rebuilding efforts made for the team during this last season, rebuilding efforts that really are taking a number on my city and other assets.

I was starting to win consistently but was limited by collection power from reaching the silver, i however "bought" my way there by renting a couple of cards. I am also consistently winning on Silver III Now, so I will "rent" or buy my way back there if I have to. (i immediately after reaching silver, started renting out too many cards... yeah it's a fine balance, i currently lack some 2000-ish power to end this season Silver III).

For collection value, as well as renting out value i got the idea to try and hoard Gold Foiled cards, so i got fewer cards but they really fit my playstyle. Lets start of with this new great sexy Succubus warrior monster.

"Djinn Chwala"

Are you kidding me? This girl is not only boasting a 3 damage attack, it is also sturdy as a rock with it´s 5 shield 9 life, (strong even agains those blue magic) (although not being able to "Thorn" them).
Current market Value: 115$

"Nectar Queen"

*Another massive tank, also a "Bad Bitch"... ( That´s the name of my team, "Bad Bitches", Well at least that´s settled then. *).
Anyway, appealing grab for 25 ish $
Current Value: 30$

"Drake of Arnak"

Watching as cards grew in value during the season, especially the "utility" ones. This Drake of Arnak was a definite buy somewhere just about the 100$ Price tag, It's very useful for me since one of my favourite card is the amazing Legendary Dragon jumper.
Bought for 100$
Current market value 174$

"Spinebacked Wolf"

This quick guy here with an amazing 6 in "Speed" is an amazing addition behind every tank, both my new one's well as behind that annoying life generating Hippo. I snapped me one of those for a measly 58$
Current market value: 50$

These cards have risen steadily in value (except the wolf) since i bought them, as well as provided me with many great victories over my opponents.
I consider them a great investment, for fun and utility.

That being said, i am still lacking those 2000 Collection power to reach Silver, I do have some DEC, however i think my dCity state will be targeted once more for some extra cash. However todays budget being 30 to 50 $ -ish. So i am "off to the markets" to get me at least one more fighting card and that collection power before the end of the season.

Untill next time! Mr.Photo!
