Steem Monsters is broken // I did not get any goldfoil cards this season end.

I just wanted to complain a bit more how unlucky i am lately when playing Steem Monsters.
Seemed like the thing to do.
I opened 50 damn cards and got barely a couple dollars worth. Its a disgrace! My card clicking finger is getting chopped off.

Did I ask too much? More than a lot? You gave me nothing, now it’s all I got.

Yes. You gave me rusty androids and Highland archers when all i want is a gold foil Ruler of the Seas!
Damn this game!

Fine. FINE! I still have Drug Snores. Almost at 0.4 STEEM per day right now. It will literally only take me 3000 years to earn myself a Lambo from playing this game. Did the math.. Lowest price of a Lamborghini Huracan is 200 000 USD.
I havent intended on living past 2500 but now it seems ill have to. Thats why i got in this game. For the hoes and the Lamboes.
And i aint quiting till i get them.

LOL. I just had no idea what to write about today. haha. So you get this nonsense.

Ill see you around. Keep on … 😀

Steem Monsters starting to show balancing faults

Almost every day now ive been completing my daily quests. Currently im sitting in gold league. Im basically stuck there and there is no way for me to push forward with the cards i have.
When picking my main deck i went with fire and it seems i made a mistake. Ive talked about this before but ill repeat it again, the fire splinter (at least at my levels) is underpowered and thus underutilized. If you check the TOP BATTLES tab there is almost no one using the fire splinter.

Out of the basic summoners the most used one seems to be the life splinter.
What ive noticed getting paired up with other decks my level is that i get swept.

Absolutely no chance of making a dent. If you run into life you cant get through the shields, water has shields at that level as well as massive damage output, death splinter 1 shoots your debuffer on round 1 and counters your summoner power, etc.
Even getting some rules like “monsters lose powers” means you can lose easily to life and water decks 2 levels below you.

This wasnt the case a month or two ago when the fire splinter was much stronger. The reward cards really messed up the balance since some splinters got some amazingly strong cards while the fire splinter mostly got trash cards in comparison.
Im usually not someone to complain about stuff like this but its getting super annoying doing dailys. I have another account with the main water splinter deck with cards that are 1 level lower then my fire deck and that deck does so much better.

Im just venting a bit but i still hope someone changes something. Problem is that when i bought those cards they were much stronger in-game then they are now.

Ill see you guys later. 😉

Steem Monsters season ending //

So another Steem monsters season is ending in approx. 8 hours. I think i can honestly say that im slowly starting to lag behind the other players, overall.

Ive probably mentioned it a million and one time already how i go about playing Steem monsters and what my “sale” tactics are.

Unfortunately i knew that i couldnt maintain my gains at the same levels indefinitely with minimal investment in my decks. Last few seasons i would regularly finish at Diamond 1, but i dont think i will manage to reach that rank this time around.

I would even do the dailies at higher ranks then this season which meant fewer cards every day. With all that i had a streak of bad luck this season so i barely managed to sell 10 STEEM worth of cards across both accounts. (Probably the worst ive done so far) And that includes rewards from the previous season end.

Ill try and push up a bit on the ladder to at least increase my rewards a bit for this season although i dont have high hopes pulling anything big. Been having diminishing luck ever since the legendary summoners drop that treated me very well, if i may say. 😛 hehe

Oh and one more thing to add for SM players. If you do pull something tomorrow dont sell it right away. You never sell cards when a large number of them reach player collections. The price drops really low, really fast and bounces back after a day or so. If youre selling, its best to sell after the initial card dump. And yes this IS card advice. 😛

Ill see you folks around and good luck to everyone with the draw.

Steem Monsters// Tournaments update// Thoughts

Those who know me know my position on Steem Monsters. That game is making me rich AF so i love it to death. hehe.
Today/Yesterday Steem monsters came out with an update which i think is probably the most significant one since the battles were introduced.

Tournaments.

Prior to the release of tournaments, Steem monsters did have tournaments that were organized for most part on off-chain sites (cant remember the name) and discord, but that made the whole experience tedious and annoying. You would have to shout out names in the discord chat, people wouldnt show up, then you would annoy @aggroed or @yabapmatt with questions and then theyd put timers on discord messages and then folks would mistakenly type in the wrong results, etc etc etc..

Can i please call this a win? Can i Aggroed, can i please? I waited for 20 mins already.

It was just supremely annoying and would take way too long. I played a couple tournaments but the waiting and not knowing when the next game will be was just boring and took away from the experience.
But now we have a pretty UI.

Screenshot (283).png

The look of the Tournaments tab i think is perfect.

  1. Shows all the necessary information.
  2. Looks slick.
  3. its extremely intuitive and you pick up how it works almost instantly.

The strongest part of this update is that you can simply jump in a tournament when ever you feel like when youre browsing your collection or doing your dailies. You just check the tournament list, see a tournament happening in 10-15 minutes, grab a glass of Whiskey (imperative) and just jump in.
I cant even describe how big of an improvement that is over having to jump between 10 screens, discord chat rooms, DMs, etc.

I was intending to try out a tournament today but i literally missed the check-in at 15:00 by less then 1 minute so all you get are a few screenshots this time.

Now that Steem Monsters has competition in the gaming department on the Steem blockchain i have a feeling that we will see a bit more innovation and quicker improvements which is always a good thing for the user base.

Side note: A birdie told me that some whales and investors arent really happy with some of the choices Aggroed and Matt made with Steem Monsters and a lot of them started looking towards DrugWars which could add some more urgency to the work Steem Monsters devs are doing.

Cant wait to see what happens next.

These last few days we are only getting good news. Hopefully Steem and BTS gain some more momentum in the market and my joy-meter will show FuLL. Then ill be able to treat myself with that bottle of Jack ive been eyeing on my neighborhood store shelf these last few days…

Ill see you around.

Steem Rallies 70+% on @steemit Full Power Down…EMBRACE THIS #crypto #blockchain

You can’t make this up folks. I have been saying this for months, in fact many have been saying this for a while. And now the MARKET has reacted to it. While EVERYONE (many) on Steem blockchain moan and groan about @steemit powering down, I am like…

Steem immediately went straight up over the next 6 days once @steemit started the full powerdown. The MARKET loves this. For a reaction of 70+%, you can’t argue with the price. If you have been around markets (all markets rhyme) then you know that PRICE is what matters. This news is positive, don’t let
