DAY 1

Yesterday I anounced that I would bring daily updates about the new rewards system. Well it didn't start of well. I guess I did not read the update properly as I said I wanted to be in Gold for the rewards. However, last season I ended up in Diamond, meaning I am stuck on diamond chests. I would've rented out some more cards to end up in gold instead of diamond if i read properly. Then I also had to complete my old quests of 5 wins before I could start earning for my daily focus. This rewarded me only 1 chest for the first day.

The reward: 96 DEC
End of season chest count: 2

DAY 2

A little more confidence on day 2. I made the decision to rent some great cards to be a little more competitive. For the daily focus I got Death. I don't think people consider this the strongest deck for Silver, but I really like it. Especially because a lot of people spam magic and Thaddius counters magic. Cards like Ancient Lich and Cthulhu are also really strong, therefor I rented them. I stopped at 3 daily chest I am now at 98% ECR so I can start the new day strong again. I ended the season in Gold III so I grew some rating today.

The rewards: 32 DEC, Legendary Potion & Merdhampir
End of season chest count: 5

DAY 3

Day 3 we got assigned the life splinter. Even though General Sloan is the cheapest CL summoner it has always been one of my favourites. Combine it with Peacebringer and Air elemental and you have some high speed high damage dealers. These are some of my guaranteed life rentals, however the Lorna Shine Sneak attack team can make some trouble. A combination of those two decks brought me a 10 game win streak. Giving my 4 daily chests. The highest amount yet. I ended in Gold II with 98% ECR still. I will start for day 4 now. Lets see if we can match the daily chests in day 4.

The rewards: 96 DEC, Pelacor Mercenary, Pelacor Conjurer &Gold Potion

DAY 4

Today was my best day yet, I got a total of 6 daily chests and was winning a decent amount of games. I started of in Silver II and I am getting a decent amount of points per win. This is making the experience more pleasing. I used to have to win 4/5 games for a chest and now it is a little over 2 wins. This way we can generate more chests and it shows. I am also constantly keeping my ECR at 90%+ and play my games spread over the day. This also helps. I am slowly perfecting the way to earn chests. Today it was obviously saturday, and saturdays are for the boys ;). I opened my Daily focus at 23:00 local time and now I can't open the chests tonight, because I will likely already be sleeping. This isn't perfect but it will have to do. On day 4 I had the death splinter again, unlike last time I rented some more and better cards and that resulted in more wins. I still think renting is the way to go, but because I have not been lucky in DEC rewards yet. I haven't profited a lot from the daily chests. I am hoping that the season chests and average will make up for these rentals some day. I see bronze and silver players outperform me for now. That is not fun to see as I own a decent amount of assets in the game and rentals deliver me close to nothing anymore. Anyway, I am slowly getting more excited about the rewards.

The rewards: 240 DEC, Merdhampir, Gargoya Lion, Twilight Basilisk, Exploding Rats
End of season chest count: 15

DAY 5

So today was the day I realized I was a little impatient at the start. The start of the season was just tougher because everyone gets dropped in rating. Currently I am playing in Gold I and my Points are really decent working towards diamond chests. I got 7 chests today and that is equal to the amount of chests I was getting before. I have to do a little more work to get them though, but the higher level of play makes the game more fun as well. I now know that I can rent way more aggressive as the DEC rewards from Diamond chests are great. This way I can get a good deck for some extra DEC and still profit daily. The season chests aren't even included in the profit analysis. Today we got 7 chests and we got 672 DEC in those chests and my rental costs are between 100-200 DEC daily. It took some time to find the right balance between earning and playing. Also I see my ROI on the cards I rent out has increased. More people are picking up on that renting better cards is essential for more chests.

The rewards: 672 DEC, Pack, Tide Biter, Gargoya Lion & Pelacor Conjurer
End of season chest count: 21

DAY 6

Today I got to play with the Earth splinter. Which in my opinion is also one of the stronger splinters. U immediately notice that rentals for the earth splinter are much more expensive than for instance Life or Death. That is why I went with Lyanna instead of obsidian to save some rental costs, but also to become less predictable. Obsidian is too easy to counter with anti-magic. I got a good amount of wins and this brought me to another 7 chests today while my ECR is at 99% again at this moment. 6 days in and I like the game officially more than before. The game is more competitive and more pleasing to win. Today I got my first Gold Foil Epic card as a reward as well.

The rewards: 80 DEC, 2 Gold Potions, Pelacor Deceiver, Merdhampir & Gold Foil Lava Launcher
End of season chest count: 27

DAY 7

Today we got the death splinter again. Before I was able to get quite some wins with that splinter. I struggled a little bit at the start and winning less games, but got on a streak later on to end the day with 8 chests. This morning I had to play 2 more games, because I still had an hour left and my ECR was almost at 100% and didn't want to waste any. I believe 8 is a record ,but now I stole 4 games from my new splinter so I might get a little less packs today. We shall see. The pack made today another succesfull rewards day :). Also the season chests are slowing down.

The rewards: 304 DEC, Pack, Pelacor Mercenary, Pelacor Deceiver, Gargoya Lion, Blood Maker & Ever-Hungry Skull
End of season chest count: 32

DAY 8

I wasn't able to post day 8 solo because I had a lot to do yesterday, but I will be able to write something. I had the dragon chest that lead to 8 new chests. Dragon is really weird. You either stomp the enemy or you get stomped depending on the rulesets and mana. I only rented dragon cards and used my own cards from other decks so I didn't have maxed cards. Therefor I did not expect to get that many cards.

The rewards: 384 DEC, Gold Potion, Legendary Potion, Pelacor Bandit, 2 Merdhampir, Vulguine
End of season chest count: 37

DAY 9

At first we got the fire splinter and I doubted to rent Yodin but didn't go through with it. This was a wrong decision. I couldn't buy a win if my life depended on it. Therefor I changed it after an hour and got dragon again. This means today was my first day of struggling. Maybe it is because I was at ~3K rating, which means I could advance to Diamond again, however I have decided to stay in Gold I. I think this is better for my rewards and we will see next season as I will prepare for another series but in Gold this time. This will make a great comparison and I can decide at the end of next season if Gold or Diamond is the play for me. I do personally think High Gold is better than Low Diamond.

The rewards: 400 DEC, Harklaw, Gold Foil Merdhampir
End of season chest count: 39

DAY 10

Another Earth Splinter, which is a splinter that I like a lot. I've noticed that the rental prices had gone up a little bit already for gold level cards. I've noticed I struggle a little bit more now that I am high on the Gold leaderboard. I have stopped getting some real winstreaks and also more losses. This hurts my daily chests. I also noticed that for some reason a lot of people have the death deck as their daily splinter. And they have mad many counters for the earth cards I rented. Making it really hard for me to win against the death deck. Anyway we still got 6 chests, but the season chests are not growing that much anymore. 4 more days and we will start earning Gold chests I am excited.

The rewards: 1632 DEC, Djinn Biljka, Venari Heatsmith, Legendary Potion
End of season chest count: 43

DAY 11

Day 11 and I got my favorite splinter to play with. I really like death at the moment because they have so many nerfs for the enemy team. minus attack, magic and range. Now that everyone plays their daily splinter, they use mainly the same strategies. With the Death team you can easily nerf if they played a lot of for instance magic the last 5 games. That way they have almost no damage and you have an easy win. Today was saterday and I had to go to a festival. Therefor in the morning I had some to get all my games in. At some point I was just entering a team and just skipping the battle. Just to get as many games in as possible. This lead to a record 9 daily chests.

The rewards: 528 DEC, Pack, Legendary Potion, 3 Gargoya Lion, Pelacor Deceiver
End of season chest count: 48

DAY 12

Day 12 was the dragon splinter again. I went a little more aggressive in the renting strategy as I notice the Diamond chests pay out a lot of DEC. It is hard to make a loss on the day. Even without the monthly rewards. Therefor I started trying to just win as much games as possible. The rewards today were not great. We got a total of 7 daily chests. I have yet to get a really big DEC reward. Even though the price is down I would probably like a big reward the most to eventually after the airdrop buy some packs.

The rewards: 384 DEC, 2 Gold Potion, Blood Maker, Pelacor Bandit
