Hello everyone! About a month ago, I decided to get into Steem Monsters in order to dip my toe into the game. I bought a starter pack and 2 alpha booster packs. I recorded the cards that I got, as well as their market value at the time. Today, the new Beta Booster Packs were released, so I decided to buy 5 packs and open them. In this post, I will show what I got (as well as my overall "portfolio"). But first, I want to list the best card I got:
Chromatic Dragon
How fitting is it that my first legendary card have the word chromatic in its name? I was quite excited to get this card! It is currently the most valuable card I own at 4 dollars. I have a feeling that this card will prove to be useful when battling is eventually released.
Beta Pack 1
Here is what I got in the first booster pack I opened:
The best card of this pack is definitely the Zintar Mortalis, which is a Death Summoner currently worth around 24 cents.
Beta Pack 2
Here is what I got in the second booster pack I opened:
The best of these cards is likely the Stone Golem, an Earth Monster currently worth around 6 cents.
Beta Pack 3
Here is what I got in the third booster pack I opened:
The best of these cards is almost certainly Marlic Inferno, which is a Fire Summoner worth around 20 cents.
Beta Pack 4
Here is what I got in the fourth booster pack I opened:
I will say that the sound effect it made when I got the legendary card was pretty cool!
Beta Pack 5
Here is what I got in the fifth booster pack I opened:
The best card from this pack is probably Tyrus Paladium, which is a Light Summoner currently worth around 20 cents.

Thanks for reading this! One question I have is what combining duplicates does. If anyone could let me know if it's beneficial or not, that would be great! I also want to make it known that I will invest all liquid rewards of this post into new packs. See you later!
