Here is my Proof of Battle (POB :-)

- Final Battle / Strategy / Tactics:

And the Final Battle for the 1st. Place against @tradingideas was quite special since I haven't played this kind of rules before.
I needed to loose 2 matches out of 3 and stay within the Mana Cap - 2 Mana. So the best idea was to place your weakest cards in the worst positions possible. I wasn't prepared for that and so I just randomly placed the cards.
And @tradingideas he exactly knew what to do he even got his Lvl. 1 cards on the hand (which I don't have anymore) to minimize his overall card power. He truly deserves the victory and should be considered a real Steemmonster Veteran...watch out for this guy!!!

Overall, I have to say that tournaments are really the main exciting part about Steemmonsters. Right now, the tournaments are organized by great Steemmonsters Veterans like @theaustrianguy, @therealwolf, @carrieallen, @crystalhuman, @clayboyn, @bountywolf and @clove71, but this going to be upgraded in January 2019 to a fully automated Tournament system.

The prize pools are going to be sponsored by private individuals, companies (thru advertisement) and the official Steemmonsters Account.Tournaments will be around for all different kinds of Monster Levels (Leagues) and Rarity (Gold or non-Gold).

There is a lot of things to be excited about Steemmonsters, and its not a payed to win only Game! Strategy, Tactics and good opponent research in advance makes the difference!

So, go get your Game-On as soon as possible, so you can learn and gain experience with the Steemmonsters Battle-System.

I wish you all a lot of fun playing Steemmonsters and hope to see you soon on the Battle Field!

Happy New Year 2019,

yours @masterthematrix
