There was a huge update that happened a few days ago in Steemmonsters, dark energy crystals were introduced. One of the ways to get these crystals is to burn cards and destroy them for good. I like this idea as it allows some cards that have been overproduced to leave the game and perhaps raise their value. This also now gives cards a base value based on their dark energy crystal conversion rates. There are a handful of uses for dark energy crystals ranging from the ability to buy orbs to open and some skins that change the appearance of the way a card looks. There's also a lot of potions that boost the percentage rate's of catching rare cards. This was definitely a huge update and has me excited to play.
I decided to try my luck and decided to burn some cards for crystals. My luck was fairly good as I opened two gold cards that were epic in rarity. The first one was a golden mermaid and the second was dwarven wizard. These cards were a nice haul as they had a good amount of value to them. I did end up buying a lot of orbs in the end and had a ton of fun opening them up
