Today I was reviewing my deck to understand which cards can be upgraded and which cards can be sold in the market. Every time I start this activity, I just end up working on upgrading only my Fire deck. The reason is that that is the deck that stands first when I open my cards. Today I'm planning to spend some more time upgrading my other cards and maintaining my other cards as well. 

But let me first start with my monkey story. Flame Monkey is one of the commonly available cards in the Untamed category. I have been receiving and seeing this card more frequently in the game. When there is a season end reward or a quest reward, I guess it is very common to see this card among the other cards that we receive. I'm not sure how usable this card is because it doesn't have an impressive attack as well as speed. Additionally, it cannot be even used anywhere other than the first position unless there is a super sneak rule or a rule where melee can attack from any position.

Later after exploring further, I did realize that this card may not be good for attacking but this card can hold good in doing a repair if upgraded to level 5. I also noticed that the card was also not very costly in the market. I happened to purchase a few cards in the price range of 0.016$ - 0.019$ from the market.

That makes my total number of cards to 60 making it eligible for a Level 5 upgrade. With this upgrade, I'm going to be getting repair ability for the card. I'm not sure if this is going to be a useful upgrade or not but I was always thinking of doing this. Let's see how it goes.
