On 2/1/2020 I announced a small experiment I was planning on running. That experiment was putting the BETA starterset monsters in a war vs the UNTAMED starterset monsters to see which starterset would come out victorious more often than not.

Before starting the experiment I first put up a poll to see what starterset all the Monster Maniacs thought would come out victorious. The results of that poll can be seen below.

The poll ended up with 24 votes. 19 of those votes were in favor of the BETA starterset vs. 5 who were in favor of the UNTAMED starterset. Those are some interesting numbers with heavy favouritism towards BETA being precieved as the stronger set of starterset cards.

The Experiment

There's a number of ways this can be done but I went with simplicity. Ten random games were played one after the other with one account having nothing but the Beta starterset cards in it and the other nothing but the UNTAMED starterset cards in it. The ruleset for each battle and the results can be seen below.

Game Mode	Winner	Link To Watch Battle
Healed Out/ Odd Ones Out	UNTAMED	Watch Batte
Close Range/ Even Stevens	UNTAMED	Watch Batte
Silent Summoners	UNTAMED	Watch Batte
Target Practice	BETA	Watch Batte
Aim True/ Odd Ones Out	UNTAMED	Watch Batte
Armored Up/ Healed Out	UNTAMED	Watch Batte
Close Range/ Melee Attack	BETA	Watch Batte
Fog Of War/ Odd Ones Out	UNTAMED	Watch Batte
Lost Magic	UNTAMED	Watch Batte
Lost Magic	BETA	Watch Batte

BETA WINS	UNTAMED WINS	Starer Set War Winner
3	7	UNTAMED

BATTLE Notes

Out of ten random battles UNTAMED won Seven and Beta three. I played both the UNTAMED and BETA accounts. I had very little experience with playing UNTAMED cards before this experiment. Due to those facts this experiment is slightly flawed. Its also important to note that 10 games isn't a very big sample size. I also made a blunder in the very first battle when I picked a healing monster in a healed out game mode. I decided to keep the battle in the experiment as to take in account human error. All battles were played at the novice level (level one cards).

At first glance it looks like the UNTAMED starterset kicks the BETA startersets ass which is very surprising to me and looking at the results of the poll I would guess its likely very surprising to you as well.

This war of STARTER SETS has only just started so tune in next time to see the results of the next 10 BATTLES. In Part two I intend on playing only one account while another Monster Maniac plays the other. Will this change the outcome, I have no clue but there's only one way to find out .....

To Be Continued .......
