Steem Monsters - Alpha Weekly Card Analysis: Rare Cards, Combine Rates, and more!
Hello Steem Monster fans!
Welcome back to my weekly analysis of what is happening in the world of Steem Monster Alpha Cards for Regular Foil.
First, we will be breaking down total "out of the booster" alpha supply via this convenient table:
Regular Foil BCX | Sum of BCX 13/10/2018 | Sum of BCX 21/10/2018 | Sum of BCX 28/10/2018 |
---|---|---|---|
Fire | 296116 | 309883 | 310809 |
Earth | 295327 | 308974 | 309968 |
Life | 295336 | 308792 | 309829 |
Death | 294412 | 308626 | 309539 |
Water | 294992 | 308395 | 309334 |
Dragon | 6418 | 6664 | 6687 |
Grand Total | 1482601 | 1551334 | 1556166 |
Fire Cards remain the most plentiful in the game, as out of the box boosters go.
You can see that small increease in alpha cards that we had last week taper off as less unopned alpha boosters remain in existence:
What about the total number of cards that are available for each splinter? Here we take into consideration individual cards. These are cards that have been combined, whether by its two cards, or 389, for a full level Alpha common.
Splinter | Sum of Cards 13/10/2018 | Sum of Cards 21/10/2018 | Sum of Cards 28/10/2018 |
---|---|---|---|
Life | 191047 | 168831 | 148458 |
Earth | 185620 | 162769 | 143897 |
Death | 190925 | 166565 | 143708 |
Fire | 183165 | 158156 | 136572 |
Water | 185355 | 155162 | 130444 |
Dragon | 5207 | 4541 | 4300 |
Grand Total | 941319 | 816024 | 707379 |
Life and Earth are the most common individual cards, with Water the splinter people have been most keen to combine. Dragon, of course, being mainly Legendary cards (and the new, exclusive KickStarter cards - remains the rarest type of Splinter).
The reduction in individual card supply this week is remarkable, and while minuscule for the Dragon splinter, is pretty impressive given the fact that we're only three weeks into gameplay!
This graph helps to illustrate the decline in the number of individual cards:
Now onto our analysis of each card's rarity.

Great overview about the Steemmonsters cards, thank you!
Thanks for the analysis! Definitely demonstrates the push to combine cards to remain competitive at higher ranks! I think some of the activitowe saw this week was because the kickstarter packs were distributed. It will be interesting to see how this moves given the changes announced leading up to the new season.
