My Precious
Hi, Splinterians!
Never a boring day in SL.
My post yesterday is already totally outdated (more on that later).
I got the Earth quest again today
Easy now because of my strong deck (more on that later)
Rewards
What a draw!
I got cards worth $3 and 2000 DEC (about $14). The quest potion costs about $0,63. So far it has been very profitable, but it also makes playing more fun (also profitable).
Skin in the game
I read this intersting post by 
TLDR: Skins could be worh something.
Chris Roberts has also mentioned in a post that they could be worth more going forward: Have you checked out the Splinterlands SKINS?
As we now know, the developers are Keyser Sözes. I bought an epic skin set, which there are only 200 of. Since I missed the boat on land sale ++, I will have an opportunistic, butholistic approach going forward.
I critized the collection power system yesterday: Why do you need a certain amount of CP to progress?
Then I found out that you can rent gold cards cheap with a huge boost in in CP (making my arguments stronger or at least the point with CP weaker).
After that I found out that many gold cards for sale are decent buys right now!!
I bought a decent amount of maxed gold cards (monsters and summoners)
Here are the maxed summoners I bought:
As I sold all my cards, I really needed the summoners also. Gold give lots of airdrop points, meaning that the payback time is ridiculously short (all thinks equal).
I bought maxed gold Zintar Mortalis for only $1600
This could look expensive on the surface, but is a super steal.
It is estimated to be worth $8000 already, but it will be worh much more than that.
All this only took me some hrs. Now I need to generate some CF. But, I will also focus on buying maxed cards going forward. The mistake I did in 2018 was to buy more and more cards incrementally as I advanced, but this makes the average card price too high.
Better to buy maxed card you like and already in the lower leagues!!
The gold marked seem to be severally mispriced, even though it has been more balanced after my heavy spending on gold foils.
Because, of the CP system, I believe the rent prices will increase a lot, and also the cards. I also think that maxed cards are far too cheap in SPL. If you buy for example level 8 of 10 cards, you risk being squeezed and have to buy the rest cards at horrific price.
Imo maxed cards should come with a premium.
Here is an old post about SM
Never sell if you believe in something!
I break that rule constantly even though I wrote down what I think in post, diaries etc: How strange??
Here are some of my give aways @janusface/steemmonsters-booster-pack-giveaway-for-june-10-11
It was easier back then: @janusface/i-am-a-champion-iii
How rare is this?
@janusface/the-winner-of-janusface-vs-janusface-is-janusface
I bought some SM related art
@janusface/a-lonely-bird-i-a-love-story
Schwan by the German-Norwegian Rolf Nesch is still my favorite art work
@janusface/a-lonely-bird-ii-the-swan
From the post:
I also think an "ugly" swan could be a cool character in Steem Monsters.
For example, a mechanic swan spewing fire, an ice swan spewing piercing ice crystals or a death (half rotten) swan spewing chemicals.
I have a new idea for a card. Today I reflected on which animal that best reflect my temperament: The honey badger.
I never stop fighting!!
The card could be earth, low mana, have sneak, shield, retaliate and last stand??
And what about the gold card: A honey badger with golden honey??
That would have been a cool gold card!
Well, time to get back to my real job (neurodegenative disease and more). SPL could probably be a good for early Alzheimer patients: You really need to use a lots of domains (cognition, functional domains etc.).
See you on the turf!! Also, donation of maxed gold cards are welcomed.
