I hope everyone is having fun on the battlefield and getting great reward cards.

As you may or not know my purpose for playing Steem Monsters is financial gain and have a little fun while doing it. So what's a good way to make money with Steem Monsters? My best 5 ways in order of easiest to hardest are:

#1 Buy and hold

#2 Daily quest reward cards

#3 Buy/Sell

#4 Tournaments

#5 Combination of all

The most common way is the #5 way as it doesn't limit you as much but this also makes it the hardest cause you really need to be a jack of all trades. I personally use the #5 way though my decks are not very good for tournament play as I currently only have level 5 summoners.

Over the next few posts I will be discussing some of my strategies for each of the 5 ways. Just remember your mileage may very.

COMING SOON

I will be bringing back the giveaways in a few weeks as well as some fun little contests for all the Steem Monster players out their.

Each rarity level has their own index score and is calculated by taking the current value of all cards in the rarity level and dividing it by the total value of the rarity level on Jan 17th, 2019. The result is the percentage change of the rarity level from the index inception point.

Beta commons index 110.95

Beta rare index 107.60

Beta epic index 93.07

Beta legendary index 95.91
