Steem Monsters Gold

avatar

As most of my followers probably know, I do play Steem Monsters. I don't post on it often as SM can be monotonous and can lean toward self-aggrandizement. I try to make my posts things that most people can relate to. Today I felt like making an investment in Steem Monsters, and thought I'd share it since it's different than what I normally do.

I've not been one to buy many packs. I feel that I can accomplish more by purchasing specific cards that I need. Because of this, I haven't bought many promo orbs as I had been selling the DEC I've been earning and using the proceeds to power up Steem. I've made quite the jump in the last few months.

It used to be that you could send your DEC to Splinterlands and they would send you a vote back on your posts. It was a cool service and it provided even more uses for DEC rather than just to buy orbs. Now that 50/50 curation rewards are in, I don't know that it will be financially profitable to get votes rather than just selling the DEC. Therefore, I didn't know what I would be doing with my DEC in the immediate future.

Anyhow, long explanation out of the way, I decided to splurge and buy an orb. It contains 5 promo cards from the latest set. I figured the 2,450 DEC for one orb would be a fun treat. First step: buy the orb.

Look at the shiny blinky lights!

My five cards. It's the moment of truth. Did I strike it rich, or would it have been better to save the tokens? Let's flip them!

Booyah!!

After not getting any gold cards that I can recall in the last few weeks, I hit it big with a gold EPIC card. The cheapest one of these is listed on the market at almost $50. Granted peakmonsters doesn't indicate any sales in the last week, so there's not much liquidity, but still it's a nice card that I didn't have in my deck.

Sometimes you just get lucky, I guess. I'm glad it worked out this time. I'm planning to hold this card for a while as I think the values will go up over time as more people join and find they don't have easy access to these cards. I could be wrong, but it seems like a solid approach for now.

Are you investing in any crypto games?

Thank you! I like it. It would be nice if it had 2 magic, but some is better than nothing. Can't have to super OP. :D

I'm in a guild that is level 4. That gives me a small discount on shop purchases!
