Another Steemmonsters season has ended. In spite of all my efforts, I didn't make it into the top 50 this time. Good news, though: the SEED campaign tokens have been released.

Competition Is Tough!
After making it into the top 50 for the first time last season, maybe my expectations were too high...
I've spent the last hours of the season trying. I climbed from 68th place in the ranking up to 56th, but competition is simply too tough to get any higher.
I still lack the skills and insight to beat the top players. I try to learn, but they learn too, and I simply can't catch up.
No booster packs for me this season....
Interesting Season
It has been an interesting Steemmonsters season, though. The introduction of Dark Energy Crystals has really spiced up the game. New cards, potions and DEC rewards made ranked play more interesting again.
Personally, I still have to see the proof that the legendary and alchemy potions really make a difference. I'll let you know when I find out.
So far, the mystery rewards haven't been in my favor. A couple of reward cards (like I don't have truckloads already), and 1 booster pack without any world-rocking card.
SEED Tokens
The good news is that the tokens from the SEED campaign have been released... at last.
@steemmonsters published the post Redeem Your SeedGerminator Campaign Reward Tokens Now! earlier today, but in my opinion, they are a little vague about how exactly to redeem your tokens.
I managed to redeem my tokens for 1 account, but the account linked to my mobile Tron wallet doesn't even show the 'Redeem Tokens' link. (Due to some confusion while sending out the Seed, I had to create a second Tron wallet and link it to my other Steemmonsters account.)
Something I still have to figure out.
Anyway, If you're looking for the way to redeem your tokens, simply log into your Tron wallet. Once you're logged in, the Steemmonsters website will give you the option to redeem your tokens. You don't need to send anything to the given address to redeem your tokens. All you need to do is make sure you are logged in to your Tron wallet!
Once you click the 'Redeem' button, you will be shown your promo cards or you'll be redirected to the pack opening screen.
I haven't checked yet, but I assume getting 2 legendary cards and a gold foil card isn't such a bad thing.
I have 300 more in the other account, but like I said... I still need to find a way to get my hands on them.
Delwyn Dragonscale Giveaway
Meanwhile, I'm giving away a free Delwyn Dragonscale card.
Delwyn Dragonscale is a common dragon summoner that gives a Magic boost.

Thanks for this explanation @simplymike. I was thinking about asking you how to do this so this is perfect.
One question . . . If I do as described above where do the beta packs end up? Same place as any others?
I ask because I'm saving up for some potions and don't want to open the packs until I have the potions in place.
Thanks for you help.
Looks like you picked up some nice cards for yourself. 😊

Blimey that took a bit of working out but I got there in the end. And after all that I ended up with 5 of the same common cards. 😢
I'll wait to open the beta packs until I have the potions.

Just open Steemmonsters and make sure your account is linked to your Tron wallet.
Then log in to your Tron wallet.
Go back to Steemmonsters site and click your profile in the top right corner. You should be able to select 'Redeem Tokens'. If not, try logging out and in again, or use a different browser.
Normally you see a scren like the one in the post, with 2 'Redeem' buttons. Just click them to redeem your tokens.
If not, you should see an address. Copy that address, go into your Tron wallet and click 'Send'. Select the tokens you want to send (for example 'booster packs') and the number you want to send. Enter the address you copied from the SM site. Click 'Send' (or 'Transfer', depending on the wallet you're using).
Normally you will be asked to enter your password. Do so, and click the button to start the transfer.
You'll need to have a little bit of TRX to pay for the transaction, or it won't work. If you don't have any, send me your wallet address through Discord DM and i'll transfer some TRX to your wallet.

Nice hit on getting two legendary cards. I hit one in 150 tokens, 5 gold foil summoners were my other highlights.
Most that use the increased chance at drop rates potions seem to be happy with it. Myself I'm hoarding all my DEC for the time being.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

5 gold foil summoners... that's not such a bad deal, imo 😉
I'm still not sure about the potions. After spending a lot of DEC on the Orbs, I'm now doubting whether I should keep on buying Orbs (I would love to max a couple of those cards) or if I should save up my DEC.
Would you mind sharing your motivation to do that? It might help to make up my mind... 😉
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

There's a post here somewhere on steemit showing the ROI of using the potions vs. not using them. I will see if I can find it for you and come back and post you the link.
Sure, I have multiple reasons. (1) I know that guilds are on the way and it will introduce another DEC sink. Adding another sink gives the potential for DEC price to rise. (2) I want to get the most value out of my DEC spending. Doing this means I need to have at least 295,000 DEC before I spend any. Enough for 100 Orbs (to get the +10 orbs) and the gold/legendary drop rate potions. (3) I am a gambler/hoarder and for some reason got it stuck in my head that I want 1 Million DEC (it wouldn't surprise me if there was incentives for holding such an amount sometime in the future but that is just pure speculation on my part).
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

I'm definitely going to save my DEC until I can get the 100% legendary and 100% alchemy potions.
I saw a comment by aggy that you have a 2% chance on getting a legendary/gold card.
If my calculation is correct (no guarantees on that' lol), you have only 2.5% chance if you're using the basic potions. The max potions would give you 4% chance... which is still not a whole lot' but at least double.
Thing is' I have bought Orbs in the beginning' and now I have some cards up to level 5 or 6. But I can't learn to use them when playing my maxed deck... I'm dying to unleash them at full power.
But it's one or the other...
And at my winning rate, it's going to take ages before I have saved up enough DEC...🙄

With a maxed deck you should be earning a decent amount of DEC. I seen some players getting 700 DEC in a single match. Sadly I am mostly invested in BETA and we BETA holders kinda got screwed in this DEC deal. We get much less DEC per win then our alpha counter parts and get much less for burning our cards.
I did look for that link I mentioned but I couldn't find it.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

True! My deck is beta too. I have a level 3/4 gold foil deck with a lot of alpha's (most of them leased), but the DEC rewards are so low in Silver league... And my alpha deck is complete, but only level 1, so that's of no use either.
I don't win enough in Diamond 1 to get those high rewards... I mean, I'm lucky to get 3 wins in a row - it doesn't really add up.

If you loved the sight from up there in champ 3, I think it is worth maxing out. That view isn't something everybody gets.

I got two decks up to summoner level 6, and I had made peace with the fact that I would never get any further, because maxing would be so expensive.
Eventually, I got frustrated. I knew the limit of my cards, but not the limit of my abilities. Then, delegations came out, and 2 people promised me that I could use their maxed deck. Both of them backed out, while I was looking forward to it so badly. :0(
So I started combining all decks I had (which were quite a lot) and did spend some more money. There are a couple of cards I simply can't afford, but those I lease from others.

personally it didnt work well for me either. I got 3 legs and no golds in the promos.

@blockurator, if you're not playing them, why don't you let someone else play your deck? Or put the cards on the lease market?
(If you let a talented player with low-level cards play your deck, you can split the rewards with that player - that way it's not collecting dust, and you can make some profit at the same time.)

The lease market has been really slow from the start. Last week, there seemed to be a rush. I had cards on the lease market from the beginning, but no one seemed to want them. Now, almost all of them are leased out. Maybe it's because of the DEC-thing? Idk.
