Renting gold cards is as good as ever
Heads up! Stacking +10% DEC per alpha/gold card in your active team is a big deal. I'm getting 50 dec at only 1300 rating by having alphas and golds out on the field. 20 more DEC than the usual 30 I would get using a normal team. Renting these can quickly become very, very profitable. I can get some for less than 0.01 sbd a day.

I only own the Mech Goblin, Swamp Thing and Flame Imp
Steemmonsters market discoveries
After doing some math, it turns out 1 DEC has a floor price of $0.001 usd. This means every card who has it's price the same as it's converted DEC price is guaranteed to reap profit, since their upvote bot is up and running smoothly.
Considering how each card burns and how much DEC they are turned into, commons go for at least 0.015, rares for 0.06, epics for 0.30 and legendaries for 1.50. Double as much for alphas then multiply by 50 if it's a gold foil. This is why I bought my Swamp Thing for $15. It will be profitable no matter what.

Got it for $15
Truth be told, I'm holding on to that Swamp Thing until steem prices go down. Then I'll turn it into essence and buy an upvote from the sm bot. Meanwhile, I can try renting it for really cheap. It's a useful level 2 gold foil epic, so somebody should get it eventually.

Steemmonsters Duels
Development on it steadily continues, as reported by @smitop.
In reply to @tsnaks who asked me if you'll be able to choose what card cap you want to use so a bronze collection doesn't battle a diamond collection, the answer is: we'll start with bronze cap only first then add options. Your duels will count only if they are set to bronze rating .

Still looks the same, but does actual matchmaking now
My entry on a gold Steemmonsters tournament
There was a challenge coming up for silver goild foil cards which I wanted to try. I've rented a few earth splinter cards from peakmonsters, but failed miserably, basically because I didn't rent enough cards.
The second match in my qualifiers had a 25 mana no-melee match. My team for it was like 4 critters meeting 17 mana. Terrible. Better prepare ahead next time instead of leaving it for the last minute.

Was it always this slow or does it pick up the pace every weekend?
Steemmonsters balance update

They say +2 HP is too dominant. I wouldn't know, this card is too expensive. I did rent one of these this one time though and it really did seem very strong. Too bad for the holders, but I'm extremely glad to see the team really does care about gameplay balance. official post
Steemmonsters game jam
The results for the 2nd game jam is out. First place got 1000 steem! I want to try my hand for their next jam. Expect me to be a participant. official post
https://steemmonsters.club
The site slowed down only for a few days. I'm trying to get my head around a lot of new details across many business areas I've covered myself with.
This is a tough and lenghty process. I always feel like a butterfly coming out of it's cicada when this phase of mine is done. It's very refreshing. Exhausting, but refreshing.
SM Guilds
Are you a community leader? How about reserving a guild spot on their official Discord? The new feature should be out very soon, since the main dev is remining people about it and getting their chat ready.

Maybe I'll make one for steemmonsters.club...

To get DEC or to not get DEC? Just get it.
Neglect for everything non-steemmonsters
I got really hyped with all the SM-related stuff I've been doing, but this made me slack off in every other area.
Where is Reign of Evil? My game industry news, including opinions, releases and reviews? What ever happened to my Mega Man classic runs? I can only say haven't forgotten about any of these. Don't lose hope!

Regarding the value of DEC. I think that this is somethink worth having an eye on in the future.
The new features like the Guild System will definitely attract more players and therefore drive the demand of DEC.
Bull ahead?
It is usd-pegged to $0.001 because of their upvote bot. It's price can go upwards, but certainly not downwards. Bull? Maybe, but the major DEC holders stll own a lot of it.
thank you. I wanted to include the fact that it is usd-pegged to $0.001, but somehow couldn't find a good source for that info.
It is on the official announcement for their upvote bot.

Yeah it's a good idea to start with bronze league only, since that is affordable to pretty much all the players.
Yes, but better than novice cap too so it actually offers a challenge and an initial card buying incentive.

Thanks for the giveaway. Great summary of what's going on. I need to reread what you've posted about the investment figures when I feel less tired. I'm still trying to understand that aspect of the game.
It's all incredibly interesting.

I haven't tried renting yet, I didn't even know about it yet actually. That could be really interesting for when I have a quest that I struggle to make any progress in. Thanks!
True, also renting alpha golds is awesome for the DEC gains. Do you want to join my new contest? https://steemit.com/steemmonsters/@felipejoys/how-to-play-steemmonsters-without-buying-a-starter-pack-and-earn-steem-5-sbi-giveaway
You win 1sbi!
Thank you!
whoaa so you're saying that I can rent some cheap(ish) gold/alpha cards, and just by using them I get more dec? I didn't realize that was a benefit of renting... I assumed it was just for higher level tournaments. Do you only do your dailies with them to earn positive dec?
I treat "completing dailies" and "earning DEC" as separate things. They're easier to focus on this way. Do you want to join my new contest? https://steemit.com/steemmonsters/@felipejoys/how-to-play-steemmonsters-without-buying-a-starter-pack-and-earn-steem-5-sbi-giveaway
Telegram Initiative is sounds effective and for efforts some recognition is important and hope that DEC giveaways will play the role of Recognition.@felipejoys, In my opinion
And hope that you will get effective returns from your cards. Stay blessed.
