Still playing Steemmonsters/Splinterlands
I keep trying to resist the pull of #Splinterlands (aka #SteemMonsters), but I keep getting dragged back in for 'one more battle'. Lately I have just been dipping in to do daily challenges, but that only gets me a few cards. The fact is that unless I pay to level up my summoners I will struggle to get to the higher leagues and I would rather spend the money on more Steem.
I am aware that levelling up your cards can be seen as a form of investment, but I am not worrying too much about what mine are worth for now. These were my winnings from last season where I got to Silver I. I rarely get to gold as it just gets too hard with what I have.
I was able to level up Naga Windmaster, but have not used it much yet. I won a Daria Dragonscale in a daily challenge, so cool to get another, but I do not use Dragon much. This was my first Boogeyman. Good to have a slowing card with some firepower. My second Furious Chicken may help at some point. I think most people throw it in if there is space to absorb a shot. I did not really need more of any of the others.
I understand that there are lots of new cards in the new Untamed sets, but I am just not buying for now. I am happy enough to just dabble with what I have. I have less than 1000 Dark Energy Crystals (DEC), so cannot afford to buy anything with those. That is okay.
I know this game has some depths, but it is just not my thing to get that into it. I play games for a bit of fun now and then. I see @slobberchops posting tips and strategies, but a lot of it goes over my head.
BTW I have a few cards leased out (for free), including a Ruler of the Seas, but I won another of those recently. I am prepared to lease more to sub-minnow accounts who want to play, but they still have to buy a starter pack first.
If I meet you in battle, go easy on me.

- I'll buy guitar picks for Steem.
- Get a Wirex Debit Card to spend your crypto.
- Get some passive income with Mannabase.
- Get paid to search at Presearch.
- Battle for cards on Steem Monsters and I will lease to small accounts.
- I have Steem accounts to give away to worthy people!

Iwish I levelled up my summoners when it was cheaper :( but maybe I'll be saying that again in 6 weeks if I don't do it soon!
Hindsight is wonderful. I bought a few cards ages ago, but just play for fun now. I know some people have spent a small fortune on it. I hope that pays off for them.
You can buy several cards with 1000 DEC, but it may be summoners that you need to level up and they ain't cheap!
I'd only really be looking to buy summoners. I could dump some of my other excess cards, but that may still not raise enough DEC right now.
I just opened 35 packs of the untamed cards this past weekend. I need to sit down and see what all I got. I know I had one that was worth about $23 USD at one point. I am sure the price has went down by now. They have added some new daily quests, so that is pretty awesome.
I know @slobberchops got a lot too. I hope the game can keep growing as it can bring more people to Steem. I'll just keep playing as long as it's fun.
It's really hard to figure out which cards to play now. There are so many choices!
