This project is to see what is possible from a starter deck only, with no investment other that what is earned in game. The project was started on 1/9/2019 and is still running strong.
Recap of prior season ending
TLDR
- Season Status: Gold 3 - the end of the season keeps sneaking up on me
- DEC Balance: 6500?
- Potions/Orbs: None
Daily Rewards from last season 68 cards
Highlights - High value cards
- LEGENDARY Lord Arianthus
- LEGENDARY Gold Dragon
- GOLD Wood Nymph
- 5 EPICS!!!!
Holy Smokes, two legendary and a Gold in the regular season. This is a massive hit for me and will really help now that my Lord A is a level 3! Harder to upgrade with the price increase! You can't find these for less than a dollar anymore! I killed it for 68 daily quest cards!
Season Rewards from 7/1/2019: 22 Cards
Highlights - High value cards
- LEGENDARY Ruler of the Seas
- GOLD Goblin Mech
- EPIC Divine Sorceress
My luck continued - another legendary and a gold foil. While the EPIC cards used to be a non even, they push about 1 STEEM these days and are great to sell for more beta cards.
Life Time Deck Hit Rate
Legendary rate is creeping up towards 1%! Gold rate is just under 2% - bring more on - and lets combine the two!
Sold Cards | 0 STEEM | 0 SBD
I didn't list or sell a card.... I already had more STEEM than a plan - and still do. My biggest struggle is with the new costs, where do I focus. I was going to be buying some of the rare beta cards that would help like Earth Elemental, but that would require to level up my summoner before I get heal...
Not selling for a few seasons leaves me with a lot of cards....
Purchased Cards 0
Like I mentioned above, I feel a bit lost... but I have a war chest of STEEM
Total Bought/Sold and Balances
- #Cards Sold:628 (back out SBD and DEC exchanges)
- STEEM Balance:19.56 (Missed a DEC exchange last season)
- SBD Balance: .676
- DEC Balance ~8500
Total Award Cards
- Cards 876
- Legendary 9
- Gold Foils 15
Dark Energy Crystals
DEC is giving me a tremendous amount of STEEM to upgrade with. This really shows just how much you can grow your deck or power up!!
Summary.
DEC keeps building, I am close to 8500 at the time of this post, that is about 24 STEEM ,and while cards have gone way up, I think I am still way ahead! This will give me over 40 STEEM to shop with... KA BOOM. Time to upgrade.
If you want me to write something about playing from a starter deck let me know.
If you know someone new to SM / Splinterlands feel free to show them this series to show what you can do over time to a deck if you focus on it.
This give me a deck with a value of around $100... plus over 40 STEEM liquid Not bad for a $10 investment and 6 months worth of grinding. The best part is as I play, it will just keep going up for now!
