I put off buying a Steem Monsters Starter Kit for a long time. I've been in penny pinching mode for a while with crypto so far down. BUT when I saw that they were doing a Kickstarter for Steem Monsters, I decided to go ahead and back them. Unfortunately though, despite being really fucking sure that the Kickstarter said I was getting alpha cards, they seem to actually be a beta deck. Additionally, I didn't get an extra account, despite the Kickstarter saying I would get one. Guess you only get one if you aren't logged into Steem Monsters.

I feel a little jipped TBH.

Edit: I checked, and the starter pack did not say Alpha. Only the booster packs said Alpha. So, hopefully those will be Alphas. I'll likely be doing more giveaways with further posts when I get those.

BUT I did get a Feral Spirit, which is possibly my favorite Steem Monsters card!

That's pretty cool.

I also got some other pretty cool looking cards.

I like how the Elven Cutthroat kinda looks like a character out of Zelda or a similar old school RPG or JRPG.

The Stonesplitter Orc looks pretty badass!
