SteemMonsters Suggestions

Hello to everyone still on Steemit... I know the last few months have caused many to abandon the platform for who-knows but for those still around, you have to get involved in steemMonsters - the collectable card game on the steem blockchain.

I joined about a month ago and have been playing quite often, picking up booster packs, and buying up the market to upgrade my cards - so I think I have good grasp on how the game is played.
First off, I like seeing the new card additions. I don't personally use them, but I see many users playing them and they seem to work well in some layouts. I am really looking forward to seeing new cards being added in future releases.
It's great to see the game change to keep players interested

I give the developers massive credit for creating this game. The entire process of buying and selling using steemconnect and utilizing a free blockchain is simply amazing! I'm shocked at how well everything works.
It's a great game, don't get me wrong on that, but I do have some ideas to help the flow.

My suggestion to improve gameplay

The constant change making each game unique through mana and splinter restrictions and along with the modifiers is a great addition. It forces all cards to have value at certain points.
But sometimes I think it's too restrictive...

• MANA ranges from 15-27.

This is one thing that I strongly believe is TOO LOW. I honestly think the majority of the games should be played using the max amount of cards as those games tend to be the most interesting. It's a big fight!Even at 27mana, it requires a player to choose between high cost and low cost cards. But When it's 15-19mana, I notice most people only use 3 cards (the same 3). Plus, with such a restriction it causes the high cost cards to have less value as they are very difficult to pair together.
My suggestion would be to have the mana range be 18-30. Just a slight change to make the battles bigger.

• Pre-game modifications

These are great to make each game unique. It forces you to consider all the cards. I think this is a great addition - but it is TOO MUCH TOO OFTEN. Paired with the restrictive mana, It's actually quite frustrating sometimes.
In my opinion, I think most games should be played using the "Normal Gameplay" mode with the modifiers being a toss-in to create some additional challenges.
For reference: None of these have the "Normal Mode" and all of these games are highly restrictive.

I understand this adds some challenge to game, but at some point it gets to be too restrictive and less of a challenge and more of an irritation. In addition, the Normal Mode should be a paramount way to play the game. My suggestion would be to have these game modifications involved at a rate of 25% to the current rate. In this way, there are still games with them but it isn't something every-single-game requires to build around.

Well that's about it with my thoughts on the game. I look forward to seeing the development upcoming this year.
