Welp it seems like SteemMonsters has another huge update coming (or is it already implemented?) and as always the new update has it's ups and downs.

First the "ups": Kudos to whoever thought of adding a Daily Update Popup into the game as I think I'm not the only one here who regularly visit the @steemmonsters account.

I think the last time I visited that account was when they first released the DEC tokens. There were so many changes at that time so reading the official announcement from the SteemMonsters helped me understand those changes and additions on the game. (I just hoped they would not add those fantasy story and other contests on the daily pop-up though. XDv and would only feature important things)

Second "up" would be the new reward edition cards. I think I'm not the only one almost sick of the usual reward edition cards we are getting so having the chance to pull something new is quite nice to look forward to.

Also, this card is daebak!. A zero mana cost monster card! I think this card would really suit well in the Life Splinter because the summoner armor buff would help this card survive for at least 2 turns (would be kinda helpful to tank for a turn or two). If we add monster cards with "protect" ability then they might survive for another turn as long as it's not a magic monster card that hits them.

Or rules like "melee monsters can attack anywhere" or "melee monsters all have sneak abilities", I think when paired with summoners like Daria or monsters with "Inspire" ability, a +1 melee attack is already helpful in getting rid of enemies armor. XD So yeah, I think this card would be fun to play with.

As for the "downs": as a small player playing the game I'm really disappointed that almost every update the one who is being hurt are the small players in the game. T_T It seems like the new update would again reduce rewards from players in the Silver league tiers and the first two tiers of the Gold league.

While I somewhat understand the need for this, I don't understand why not make it for ALL leagues and not just the lower leagues. Those at the higher leagues most if not all of them already have their reward edition cards at max so they most likely will just sell it immediately on the market or convert them to DEC while those at the lower leagues need those reward cards to progress. So I personally think instead of reducing only the lower leagues it would be fair to reduce ALL leagues.

I also am not sure if Paid Starter Sets Will No Longer Give Cards change is a good idea. I understand why the need to pay for $10 to play ranked matches before but paying $10 just to "unlock" ranked matches and then another $$$'s to buy summoners and monster cards would surely discourage new people to play the game.

On average, summoners already cost $1+USD, so a new player already has to pay $6+ USD just for the summoners (level 1 summoners to boot). Not to mention you need monster cards as well so that's another $$$. (So many $$$$$$$!)

To the people living in first-world countries I know a dollar isn't worth much but for third-world countries IT IS!. A lot of new Steemians came from third-world countries and if they know that SteemMonsters needs a lot of investing before one can fully enjoy the game, I think they would be discouraged to try the game. (not that Steem has many people lately but just in case we suddenly get a new influx of new users). XDv

I really love how Steemmonsters is running their development, it's rare to be able to have some trust in a team. I pretty much like everything about this update as they explained all the valid reasons for doing so.

As for the "you no longer get cards", they will be leased out to you. It was indeed a flaw that it was more profitable to buy starter packs and dump the cards on the market.

As for the
