Potions

I have been running the Brilliant Quest Potion for as long as I have been earning DEC. I have been enjoying the extra reward cards... but have recently been question it. My reward cards are all maxed to the level of my summoners.... beyond an extra 25 cards for a chance for gold I am struggling to see the point.

I did get really lucky with EPIC Gold Foils there a few weeks ago, and a few legendary recently, I don't know if this is the best way to spend my DEC. But at 2500 DEC - just about 6.5 STEEM at current prices.... for 25 cards... I am not sure the return at this point for me.

Cashing out.

I have sold a ~26k DEC for STEEM around 68 STEEM I think. I powered up 50 STEEM, to help offset some of the investments I have made, I am using the 13 STEEM to buy Beta cards I needed to upgrade

Promo cards

Holy Prices batman.... I have been facing a lot of promo cards lately, and they are annoying because they keep beating me.... and have a few abilities that are picking apart my go to lineups... so I think I should add a few, but several are like 1 steem each or more. Since I get 5 cards, I thought my return might be pretty good. While I am extracting DEC for STEEM to just buy cards... I don't want to pull out ALL the DEC... so I thought why not buy an ORB for 2500 DEC, at current prices, it is only about $2, so not too bad.

Here is my First

Love that - got a hit on the first day. Got to love the Magic plus snipe.. crazy good at times. - I might have to let my Reward Quest run out and buy more Orbs... I got lucky this time, but know that will run out. I am honestly torn on what to do... do I just take the 6.5 Steem every 5 days and buy the promo cards? Man, its a hard choice.. the thought of a Gold Foil Epic/Rare would be hitting the lottery!!
