Until now, I had always played exclusively in Modern mode; looking at my performance over the last few seasons, I typically hovered between Silver League Tier 2 and Gold League Tier 2. This is the first season I鈥檝e started exploring Frontier. Initially, I only switched to Frontier for entertainment when I ran low on energy in Modern, but that was just the beginning. Take today, for instance: I鈥檝e played perhaps only one or two battles in Modern mode鈥攄espite having plenty of energy left鈥攚hereas I鈥檝e played over two dozen battles in Frontier since this morning. It has a unique appeal! Just two minutes ago, I unlocked Bronze League Tier 1 in this mode for the first time鈥攁nd I did it using only those basic cards. It鈥檚 truly an achievement, and with this milestone, I received a total of 10 chests as "welcome loot," which is significantly more than what one gets in Modern.
Just a short while ago, I had secured five daily wins twice, earning '2+2' cards and '1+1' Frontier entries as rewards; shortly after that, I unlocked this tier. Since this was my first time unlocking a tier, I had no idea what kind or quantity of rewards to expect, so these ten chests came as a surprise to me as well. Inside, apart from three Frontier energies, I received a Legendary item and an Alchemy potion, along with five cards鈥攁ll of common rarity. I already have some copies of these cards in my deck, and with these new additions, one of them鈥攖he Fire-element melee attack card 'Frankarsgard'鈥攊s now just one copy away from being upgraded to Level 2. If I win more copies of this card in the future, it will become the first card from the Foundation Set in my deck鈥攁fter 'Archon Marlai Singariel'鈥攖o be upgraded to Level 2.
My main target for this season is to unlock the Silver League. I am currently ranked 720, so I need to climb 280 ranks to reach that milestone. There are eight days left in the season; while a good win rate could make this a one-day task, it would require me to play Frontier Battles with absolute focus. I might also need some better cards, as none of the Foundation cards in my current deck are above Level 1. I haven't fully decided yet, but I might explore some new cards; battles will get tougher at this rank, so I鈥檒l need to tweak my strategy to achieve my goal. Well, I鈥檒l share more about my strategy in the coming days, so stay tuned.
