After discovering last season that one could opt for the "Do not use potions for Reward Cards" in the SteemMonsters site settings, I have been saving the potions that I have gotten on my daily quest rewards to be used only on opening the Essence Orbs that I have also gotten on my daily quests rewards.

I'm going to copy this strategy. I've been getting nothing but garbage cards on my daily quests chests. Going to save up my potions and use it only on orbs.
