I just opened the 18 cards I received as a season reward, and I can't complain. This was a very nice pull!

Season 8
Looking back, I must admit season 8 hasn't been so bad at all.
I was lucky and managed to reach Silver 1 on the very last day. As a result, I received 18 extra reward cards. And except for the never-ending stream of Exploding Dwarfs, I have little to complain about. A Gold Foil Wood Nymph, 2 rares and 2 epics... I've seen way worse.

For Sale
Since everyone has only just received his season rewards, I know it won't be easy to sell any reward cards. Still, I listed a couple of them on the market.
I didn't have any issues with parting from the gold foil Wood Nymph, the Exploding Dwarfs or even the Crystal Werewolf, but it did hurt a little when I put the Manticore up for sale. I love the card, but since I have no Dragon Summoner, I can not play it, so there is no use keeping it.
While I was at it, I listed a couple of cards I already had for sale too. The Imp Bowman for example. I know I called the Exploding Dwarf a useless card in one of my previous posts, but I still haven't found a good use for the Imp Bowman either, so I decided to let it go.
I listed:
Gold foil Wood Nymph - Level 4 - $0.43
Exploding Dwarf - Level 2 - $0.08
Imp Bowman - Level 1 - $0.14
Sea Monster - Level 2 - $0.10
2 x Javelin Thrower - Level 1 - $0.14 each
Silvershield Warriors - Level 2 - $0.05(SOLD)Crystal Werewolf - Level 1 - $0.04(SOLD)Undead Minotaur - Level 2 - $0.05
Skeletal Warrior - Level 1 - $0.02(SOLD)Manticore - Level 1 - $0.27
Rusty Android - Level 2 - $0.03(SOLD)Frozen Soldier Alpha Edition - Level 1 - $0.10
Season 9 Kickoff
With the start of season 9, my account was reset to Silver 3. Initially, I had to complete my DQ with the Life splinter, but although I'm slowly leveling it up, it is still a lot weaker than the other ones.
So I requested a new one and was lucky to get the Water splinter instead. Completing the DQ was a breeze, in spite of the fact that it was clearly bot-time. But no better way to win against the annoying Life bots than using a lot of Magic. I love the Water splinter... :0)

The reward cards I received were okay. The Javelin Thrower made up for the Highland Archer ;0)

My Deck
This is how my deck looks at the start of season 9:

The cards that have been leveled up to the level of the summoner are highlighted in green.

Goals
During season 9, I hope to be able to grow my deck a little further by adding some of the missing cards - I really miss Naga Warrior, for example - and maybe level up the Life splinter, although that is definitely not my priority. I have never liked the Life splinter and I never will, so as long as I can avoid playing it it is the least of my problems.
I should really try and free up some more time to take part in giveaways, contests and @steem-bounty posts, and make a habit out of posting daily - I can definitely use the money.
For now, I'll leave you with a reminder that I have a giveway for the Haunted Spirit running. Don't miss out on that!

You don't have daria? She's a dragon summoner for manticore.. do you want me to send 1?
Thanks, @cicisaja, that's a sweet offer. However, the Manticore has already been sold 😊
You will get more manti later.. even the gold one @itisjustme 😉 I'll send you the summoner first😉.. level 2
@cicisaja, have I told you lately you were the best? Oh yes, I did, but I can not say it often enough :0)
Don't say it again @simplymike 😂 you scared me more than ever 😊 I want to make everything simply nice and fun on steemit with my present☺
You definitely do!!
You did well!! Gold, and a few epics!! I think the Crystal werewolf is great when you get it up to thorns! and magic reduce. I didn't do nearly that well, I should have a couple of posts up this weekend from both accounts. Similar results.
Thanks, @senstless.
I must admit I haven't found a use for the Werewolf yet - I've literally never played it, with any of my decks. I guess it's a bit like the Exploding Dwarf... only useful when the game rules allow Melee monsters to attack from whatever sport they're in...
