Steem Monsters Beta Index and My Game Thoughts 2-8-2019
My first gold card of the season so very happy about that. Still disappointed with the lack of epic or legendary cards from the daily quest but there is still time.
.............................
My main 5 strategies:
#1 Buy and hold

#4 Tournaments
#5 Combination of all
Strategy #4: Tournaments. This can be a very nice strategy if you have a maxed set of cards or are very lucky. I have NO luck and don't have maxed cards. I was hoping to have played a few tournament by now but life has had a sneaky way to prevent me from playing in any tournaments. Well I did play one tournament and accidently hit the surrender button .... like I said i have no luck.
The key to this strategy is a maxed set of cards and a good grasp of the game. Winning one of the big tournaments or a couple of the smaller ones can go a long way to increase your Steem.
Not much more to say about this strategy since I have been unable to play in one.
Good luck!

My Game Thoughts
How have your daily quest rewards been? I'm in the gold league and I'm getting mainly commons with a few rares. My girlfriend who is in the silver league is getting a higher percentage of rares than me and together we have only gotten 1 epic/legendary between us. How has your reward cards been? Let me know in the comments.
Upcoming Giveaways
Giveaways start next season so keep on eye on this blog.

Each rarity level has their own index score and is calculated by taking the current value of all cards in the rarity level and dividing it by the total value of the rarity level on Jan 17th, 2019. The result is the percentage change of the rarity level from the index inception point.
Beta commons index 77.14 DOWN
Beta rare index 105.22 UP
Beta epic index 75.81 DOWN
Beta legendary index 90.49 DOWN
The market is still trending down with the exception of beta rares. The big question is why is the market down? Over the next few post this will be our main topic.
