So this is it guys and gals. This is the end of the BETA packs! With just over 3k packs left to be sold, and I'm sure they'll be gone by the end of day, the FOMO once again jumped up and bit me on the ass....

I love playing #steemmonster and although my cards are mediocre, I do think I can hold my own, and sometime even out perform most player at my level. 

Since the introduction of DEC (dark energy crystal) and now that  you can now use it to purchase cards, I've slowly been building up a stronger deck to play with. I've managed to level up a few summoners from lvl 3 to lvl 4 and this has helped me to compete at a higher level.

**SO WHY NOT JUST BUY THE CARDS YOU NEED?**

Well that is the million dollar question.... 

Once again it goes back to the "fear of missing out"!!!

It takes me a full day/day and a half to generate enough DEC to buy one card, usually a summoner. I've been doing this for a while now and it's slowly having an effect. The difference between simply buying the cards direct and buying the BETA packs is, the BETA packs have a lot more excitement when opening them.

YOU JUST SIMPLY DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO GET.

Will I pull 5 cards totalling less than $1?? Or will I pull a gold foil legendary worth $500+??

The thrill of the reveal as well as the FOMO of not being able to buy these decks anymore forced me to burn through my steem and pick up a few extra packs. 

Let's see what I got:

So that's 25 more cards that no one else will ever get, unless they pay me a Kings ransom for them. 

Once these final packs have sold out, be prepared to see prices on some of the rarer card sky rocket and players still try to "max-out" their playing cards. 

Once the epics and legendary cards are all gone be prepared to see the commons and rare card prices start to climb as investors mop them all up. 

I plan on HODLing these as well as everythimg else I have. The future for SM still looks very promising, and as new players are introduced to the game, they'll want a piece of the cards I own.

I can always earn more steem/steempower but once these cards are sold out, there will never been any more. So buy them NOW and don't miss out. 

**#FOMO**
