Strategy the Austrianguy

I was fortunate enough to find @theaustrianguy post about Steem Monsters Strategy titled "The Ultimate Stratytorial part 1" (I haven't found part 2 yet) and read it through.

I skimmed some parts but was able to develop a new strategy as a result of reading.

At first I wasn't sure what I was doing and the "new strategy" conflicted with my old strategy. My old strategy consisted of doing the same silly things over and over while losing and expecting a different outcome, which by definition is a favorite quote of Albert Einstein:

Albert Einstein is widely credited with saying, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.”

As a result of @theaustrianguy I have a firmer grasp on one splinter in Steem Monsters (and maybe life itself).

My wins have been more consistent and my score is increasing faster.

The losses I have had are the result of 2 issues:

Rejecting the solution in hopes of a better solution.
When the game shuts down the splinter I am good at, offering a different splinter where I am not as strong I don't know what to do.
The second forces me to adlib tactics and lose.

I am only 25 points into silver 1 territory (which stretches from 1600 to 1899). After many (literally many) hours of gameplay, without further guidance, I have come to realize that continuing on would result in going back to silver 3 daily.

I may possibly go on a new quest if it is achievable for the 3 new cards but will most likely take the next 7 days 20 hours and some odd minutes off from my newly formed addiction and grasp the promised 18 new cards.

For now I will wind down and get some needed rest but will leave you with 2 thoughts.

I love unicorns generally but totally completely dislike the one shown in the image below!

He/she is not a nice unicorn at all! He/she is evil and offensive in not letting me win and constantly regenerating health. Instead of ice cream (like other unicorns) I bet his/her poop tastes just like poop or worse!!
