I like how much thought you've put into this; and I think it would likely get rid of a heap of bot activity.
Minimising the impact of bots can be tackled two ways. By getting rid of the bots, or by beating them.
Intuitively it feels like knowing in advance which team your opponent is playing should be sufficient to win.
I'd like to see a This guy's a bot button on the Battle results popup.
So the loser can hold those ranking points to ransom; with the winner given 1 min to complete a captcha. If he does, he gets the points, and a little extra for the bother.
If he doesn't, the account loses the points, the win toward his daily quest, and any win streak bonus.
Using the button maliciously would backfire, as a human opponent would get bonus points for completing the captcha, perhaps followed by a one hour immunity period. .

Yeah I made comment in the post about creating a bot blacklist and letting the player know it's a bot, with some possible deck solutions.
But I like this idea as it goes one step further. :-D
A captcha is something i don’t want to see in steem monsters. This guy's a bot button is a better idea - delegating bot hunting to the community is a solutions/strategy that will benefit gamers and the house.

A mandatory captcha at the start of each battle would be a terrible idea; but being occasionally challenged on it, with a small bonus for your trouble, wouldn't be a deal breaker.
