If you are new player you probably you dont have a lot of DEC so your first step should be earning some Dark Energy Crystals becouse you will need them for buying cards or being eligible for SPS airdrop. You can earn some dec for winnig battles but it's not very efective in low rankings.
I want to share with you strategy that I am doing myself to earn some additional dark energy crystals. Here you can see one of my recent flips.
Here you can see i bought Coral Wraith for 12.25$ thanks to Monstermarket
and then sold it for 25$ few minutes later. Thats a profit of over 2000 DEC
and its very easy all you have to do is to join monster market discord and then open market-feed channel and wait for great discounts like this one.
Then all you have to do is click to pay with dec or credits, confirm transaction with hivesigner and sell it for profit on cards market.
Additionaly monstermarket gives you 3% cashback on any purshase you make with them.
Older cards are more rare so there price is much higher but it doesnt mean they are better than new ones for example lets look on very useful and old card Flesh golem and a simillar new card Pelacor Mercenary
Altough Pelacor costs one more mana he has one dmg more and flying ability
Flesh golem has also 10 HP where our Pelacor has only 9 but that one armor can take whole hit so in my opinion thats way better than just flat 10 hp without any armor
Now lets compare costs of 6 lvl Pelacor and lvl 3 Golem
One card of Flesh golem will cost us 25$ to get him at lvl 3 we would need 5 cards so for lvl 3 golem we would pay 125$
To get a Pelacor at lvl 6 with heal we need at least 100 cards but one card costs only 0.1 $ so we could get a 6 LVL pelcor for only 10$ thats 12.5 times less than Flesh Golem
