It's about time to set some more @steemmonsters cards on fire, sorry android lovers!


A few weeks ago, @jrvacation started setting some of his cards alight (by gifting them to @null), and encouraged us to do the same.  In his most [recent update](https://steemit.com/steemmonsters/@jrvacation/steemmonsters-burn-cards-report-3-burn-cards-increase-to-usd1-20), he estimates that around 2000 cards, worth $40 have been burned.

#### Why burn?
####
- We got a lotta cards!
- Reducing supply could potentially increase the value of the cards being burned
- A chance of an up-vote - greater than the return you would get when selling your cards!

### This weeks card on fire

Is the generally unloved Rusty Android, again :)

Here he is:

106 Rusty Android base cards is hopefully in-keeping with the new burn cost requirement.

-------------------------------

In my last burn-post, there was actually some appreciation for the card in the comments, but yeah, I'm not a fan.  I've used it a few times, but seem to want to play it on rounds where the opponent is not using a mainly magic attack cards, and when that's the case it just looks over priced as far as mana.

Saying that though, I do now own a maxed out Rusty Android, just in case the devs decide to adjust the stats for the card, and actually make it a bit more playable.

### Game update
### 

This season has been my best for a while, and I've just recently reach 'Gold 1'.

There is still a day or so to go, and a chance to pick up a few more reward cards before the new season begins.  I have to say that I think I've been rather unlucky with the reward card prizes in recent seasons, and I'll be looking out for a nice gold/legendary this time (please!).

Over the past couple weeks I have been buying the odd card and trying to bring up a couple of splinters to a reasonable level.  When I first starting playing @steemmonsters, I spent most of my STEEM on fire splinter foil cards.  They do look nice and shiny, but foils are pretty expensive compared to the normal cards, which outside of tournament entry possibilities, seem to do the same thing.  I also leveled up 'Selenia Sky' to the max, which of course has no use when trying to collect the daily quest cards.

Recently, I've focused a little more on the the Earth splinter, leveling up the summoner 'Lyanna Natura' and 'Flesh Golem', who i've found to be a pretty solid tank - even at level 5.

I'm still nowhere in the overall table compared to the end of last year, I think my highest ranking was 50-60 - Champion League!  Since then though, my investment has been small (yeah food took priority), and so a ranking like that at the end of a season in the future is unlikely, for now.

Best of luck with your end of season rewards gamers, see you on the battlefield!
