that's true. i bout all the cards from bronze to Silver II. (46k CP), took $1.1k . im pretty happy with these cards, in fact- all good fighting power cards (a lot of them reaching the ceiling lvl of Silver league. ).

when you say the fun starts at gold league, that's really scary. it means it will be few more times of investment of Silver II.

however by reading your article, i think it's really a good suggestion for the summoner's lvl. but the point im wondering more is what if i'm planning a long stay and organic growth with what i invested so far, what summoner lvl will be good enough for the land? i just bought 1 plot with the price you mentioned (prob planning another one - waiting the hive to drop more.) and currently hv lvl4 summoner for water, fire, earth, life and lvl2 Quix

With the cards, land and sps stake, it probably touches my limit of investing in a game ever. really dont want to dump in more money for no returns.

thx for any suggestions.
