Season 9 was nothing like the previous seasons. I've made some impulsive decisions, and I've decided to run another free giveaway

Season 9 Results

I published only one post during season 9, so in fact, I don't have any right to complain about running out of Steem. It's my own fault.

But, let me first start with the highlights of Season 9.

The most important thing I want to share with you is this one:

I made it into the Gold 3 league - for the very first time ever.

Because I reached Gold 3, I received no less than 22 rewards cards.

I had high hopes - 22 cards... it would be very bad luck if those didn't contain at least 1 great reward card.

Boy, was I wrong...

^Source

Rares, commones, more commons and more rares... Sigh!

Fortunately, the Gold Foil Mushroom saved the day.

After opening the rewards cards I really started wondering... was this what I worked so hard for this entire season?

But I assume there's no use crying over spilled milk. At least I could already sell the Gold Foil mushroom for 1.376 Steem, which makes up a bit for the fact that O was too lazy to publish more than one post this season.

Impulsive Decision 1: Summoners

During Season 9, I have made some impulsive decisions. Because the common reward cards kept coming, I decided to spend most of my money on extra summoners, so I could level them up to level 3.

I didn't have the money to level up all of them, so I decided to go for the summoners of my two favorite splinters:

Aren't they a cute couple?

So now I have one of those strange decks that don't have all the cards (I still don't have a single legendary), but does have at least two splinters with a level 3 summoner.

Impulsive Decision 2: Bye Bye, Life Splinter

Because my sources of income have dried up a little - the Steem Drugwars pays me is neglectable, and publishing only 1 post per seek was not really a great idea - I had to think of an other way to get some Steem.

In an impulse, I decided to sell MY ENTIRE LIFE SPLINTER.

I don't like the Life splinter, I don't play the Life Splinter, so I figure I could just as well SELL the Life Splinter.

I listed everything for sale, except the Tyrus Paladium summoner - just in case I want to rebuild the splinter again one day. I admit that it probably won't happen, but you never know.

Someday, I might figure out how to play them, and who knows I have some undiscovered Life Splinter talent...

😂

You probably know, life likes to play pranks. I don't believe in any God, but I thought I'd share with you one of my favorite Al Pacino quotes from the Devil's Advocate that is definitely in place here...

---

...let me give you
a little inside information about God.

God likes to watch.

He's a prankster.

Think about it.

He gives man... instincts.

He gives you this extraordinary gift,
and then what does He do?

I swear, for his own amusement...
...his own private, cosmic...gag reel...
...He sets the rules in opposition.

It's the goof of all time.

---

I assume you're wondering why this quote is in place here. I'll tell you:

One day after I sold almost all my Life Splinter cards, I received this reward card:

^Source

The only card of the Life Splinter I actually like... really like. Unfortunately, after the season in which they released the Sacred Unicorn, they made some changes to its stats so it would become less powerful. At level, it's by far not as strong anymore, so I had no problem parting with it. Another 2.250 Steem in the pocket.

For Sale

In case you do like the Life Splinter, I have two cards for sale left. You've got to hurry, though, because I've listed them for a price you simply can't refuse...

^Source

This is a deal of a lifetime!!!

My Current Deck

Here's what my deck looks like at this moment:

And this is how it reflects in the stats:

^Source

Although I have sold all my Life Splinter cards, my deck has gone up in value during the past week.

Last week: $25.26
This week: $31.57

Running Out Of Money

I spent the bigger part of my money buying those extra summoners.

*Since the referral bonuses at SleemSlotames have been deactivated, I don't get any extra Steem anymore from that

• Drugwars made a lot of promises, but if you do not invest, the daily income is neglectable.

This means I'm running low on Steem.

So, I'm looking for tips on how I can earn some extra free Steem.

Which brings me to the giveaway...
