You wipe the blood of your enemies and tears of the vanquished off your axe. Your body vibrates as the roar of the crowd shakes it. You raise your axe high and they scream even louder. You are victorious. You are champion!

Rise of Tournaments

Season 4 saw the rise of tournament play along side of season play. It's lead to a fantastic start of sponsors coming along to help host tournaments. This gets them eyes and attention from our player base and it gets you money hidden in your cards and strategy. It's a great combo!

You can see the current list of tournaments Here!

Thanks to @berniesanders, @jarunik, @therealwolf, warriders.com, chib fighters, @hightouch, and a growing list of individuals, tokens, blockchains, games, and (d)apps that are pushing rewards up every day!

Season 4 Rewards

Season 4 rewards- We didn't announce anything as it wasn't clear what would be available at the time. We're still exploring what works best here, but for now you have 8 hours to win some beta booster packs!

  • 1st = 100 Beta edition booster packs
  • 2nd = 50 Beta edition booster packs
  • 3rd = 25 Beta edition booster packs
  • 4th-9th = 10 Beta edition booster packs
  • 10th = 5 Beta edition booster packs

Season 5 Updates

We've pushed some changes today already that have already gone into effect.

  • The winner/loser of battles will be hidden in the battle history table until the battle is viewed (or just click on battle details). This is good for people doing commentary on matches so they don't see who wins up-front.
  • If you submit a team and your opponent surrenders or flees, it will now count toward your quest (if the team you chose matches the quest splinter of course)
  • Gold cards will now show by default on team selection if they are higher level than the corresponding regular foil card
  • Reward cards from quests or season end will now show 10 at a time. Once you reveal 10 then if you have more there will be a "next" button to reveal the next set. If for whatever reason you don't get to reveal the cards (computer crashes, accidentally refresh the page, get chased from your computer by a runaway rexxie) then when you next log in to the site it will show a message allowing you to reveal the rest.

Season 5 Balance Adjustments

None at this time. Some card tweaks are coming, but not for this season. We are waiting for more of the new Reward edition cards to reach higher levels and see more play before making any adjustments to those. Similarly, we're waiting on more data and numbers before putting in hard caps of the number of specific rewards edition cards. Each card will be limited, but we're not setting a number just yet.


Thank You for your continued support!

Great game and much fun to play!
I noticed a few very small details that could be improved in my opinion:

  • There is no sound anymore when after the (sometimes rather long) search for an enemie finally an opponent has been found. Sometimes I am playing Steem Monsters beside doing other things, and thus unintentionally forget to start the match ... If there was a reminding sound, that would happen less often.
  • After I have clicked "Make Team" I don't see the name and the last teams of my opponent anymore, but sometimes I clicked too fast (or my memory is too weak) so that it would be really useful still to see the data of the opponent while building ones team.
  • If I have chosen a summoner and a splinter, but then decide to change the splinter, I cannot choose the same splinter together with this summoner again (first I must choose another splinter and then the old splinter again - which costs quite some time).
    Of course it sounds illogical to choose the same summoner and splinter again after one actually wanted to change it, but under time pressure it sometimes happens to change ones opinion several times. Then it can be annyoing (so time consuming) if not every option is available immediately.

I agree, when selecting our team we should be able to see our opponents last team, this will make our selection more competitive and fun.

Okay I am going to try this out finally.

The winner/loser of battles will be hidden in the battle history table until the battle is viewed (or just click on battle details). This is good for people doing commentary on matches so they don't see who wins up-front.

Awesome. This will really help @trang and I with our @monstertalk series where we analyze games and guess the winners. Side note: if anyone has an awesome battle for us to cover, leave the link.

Gold cards will now show by default on team selection if they are higher level than the corresponding regular foil card

Huge! Now I may actually consider leveling up gold cards.

This battle may be worth a look at, for the use the Vampire card. The Life Leech ability gets him up to 15 health before he gets to P1.

Ooh would love to cover life leach. Did you forget to include the battle link?

Interesting to watch! :)

What a battle! Thanks @sparkesy43 for the tip. We've analyzed this battle in a just released episode of Let's Talk Monsters, available at:

Nothing but impressed with how you have handled everything so far. Gives me even greater confidence for the future of this great game.

Awesome Season!!! Come join us for some fun tomorrow! 100 SBD Prize Pool! https://challonge.com/tournaments/signup/iFIJbfBLlZ

Season 4 has been a blast! I’m only about 50 points shy of champion 1. I gotta get it before the new season starts. Gonna improve my overall ranking by the end of season 5.

Good luck. I know you're a formidable competitor, but feel free to check out our tips in @monstertalk to see if they help you reach the most elite tier of the Champion league!

Thanks for the suggestion. I can always use more help with my gameplay and building teams. Have a wonderful day @dhimmel 👋😁

@steemmonsters I think you have also changed the scoring system - am I correct?

If you submit a team and your opponent surrenders or flees, it will now count toward your quest (if the team you chose matches the quest splinter of course)
Gold cards will now show by default on team selection if they are higher level than the corresponding regular foil card

I love the changes! Both of these things have been a minor annoyance for me, so it's great to see that this is a thing of the past. I'm more tempted to get more foil cards now that they are more easily usable (yes, I'm that lazy :P).

The Gold Foil update is very good. Really liking that new feature.

I don't have many golds but didn't have a clue about how to even try to load them, so have never played them. Lo and behold, very early this morning, one showed up when it was time to select a team. What???!!! GREAT change!

Thanks for all these wonderful Steemmonster updates. 2019 is already rocking. ;)
