STEEMMONSTERS "Investment" rational

I am really excited to study all those developments on the steemmonsters market.
So investment you ask? Why should I be interested.. I am only here to play this (hopefully) insanely great game...
However, it doesn't matter how you approach it... spend a ton of money... only a certain budget or no money at all apart from the starter pack...
you have to trade to get a team that will be able to match its opponents... as loosing is not so much fun as winning is..
so price development and crypto economics should concern every steemmonsterer.

What do you need to perform good at a steemmonsters contest?
You need wins over your opponents. What will bring you those wins? Besides good tactics a good starting line up.
"So its important what assets you deploy in the field.."
Its like in moneygame.. ...its hits per dollar payed.

So where do you get the best hits for your dollars?

This is atm a very tough thing to forecast because we do not now too much about the game mechanics yet.
( I am leaving gold cards here completely out as those have IMHO irrational price patterns)
So my best guess is to buy best abilities for minimal bucks.

And also I own selenia sky and a dragon as precaution... my strategy was a bit different.. I am fan of the "life tribe" so I looked to rebuilt same strength with less dollars compared to a dragon...
so as it turned out I was in for some surprises.. suddenly my divine healer got a the ability to strike after I leveled him up quite a bit... and so on it goes..

so my bet is it fight expensive dragons and other monsters with cheap but well trained knights and soldiers..

we will see how this plays out.. can't wait to start the fighting.. ;-)
