Splinterlands SPS Milestone Reached + Card Improvements

The price of SPS have moved up and down the last few months but this hasn't deterred me from staking and buying more. I have been using spare Hive on Hive-engine to get SPS when the price is low and slowly accumulating here and there. I always believe that accumulating slowly hurts less for the wallet than putting out a lump sum. Slowly but surely, the goal will be reached. The reason also why I am staking more is I do want to get more vouchers and hopefully get more packs for the next 2 million packs and get the next airdrop cards. In the past, the airdrop cards have been doing well therefore I will try at least get my hands on some if I can.

Apart from reaching my first SPS milestone by the end of the year, the other thing I have been looking at is to make my existing cards a little stronger, ie leveling them up hoping to get an extra ability for them. The card I have leveled up recently was Gargoya Devil. I love neutral cards as they can be used with any splinters so I try to find upgrade those ones first. I have leveled this card to level 4 so it activated the deathblow ability. I had a number of these single cards and with the current price at under 25c, I think its chance to level this card up.

The other one I upgraded was Pelacor Mercenary. Many people see this as a flesh golem replacement but personally, I still prefer using flesh golem in my lineup. With Pelacor Mercenary currently at around 7c, it is a great card for new players as flesh golem is pretty pricey at the moment. At level 6, you get heal ability therefore at around $7, you can get a card with two strong abilities. I've got mine up to level 7 so I can get a higher life hoping to keep it alive for another round. I'm in the process of leveling this to level 8 as my summoner can support it to this level hopefully get this done without buying anymore cards.
