It has been just two days since the new season began, and I have already cleared the Silver League milestone and unlocked the Gold League. This is a significant achievement; however, with it, the difficulty level of the game also escalates. The reason is that the higher the league you play in, the more you have to face professional players—and these pros come equipped not only with superior cards but also with a deeper understanding of those cards and more sophisticated strategies. Thus, reaching the higher leagues is one thing, but maintaining your position within them and consistently advancing further is quite another matter entirely.
Furthermore, with every rising tier, you receive "Welcome Loot," which consists of Minor, Major, and Ultimate chests—typically filled with various rewards. I am currently in the Gold Tier, and for as long as I remain here, I will receive only Minor and Major chests, as the Ultimate chests are reserved for the Welcome Loot of the Diamond League. Thus, in the Gold Tier 3 loot, I received 7 Minor and 4 Major chests; for these—and for the first time after numerous previous disappointments—I opted not to use Legendary Potions, relying solely on Alchemy Potions instead.
And—I don't know if this was some kind of hack, or if it just happened purely by chance and sheer luck—but for the very first time, in a tier-based Welcome Loot drop, I received not just one or two, but seven cards! Seven cards, one of which is even a Rare one—wow! This is, without a doubt, my best loot haul to date. I didn't receive rewards this good even back when I purchased an Ultimate Chest from the Rewards Shop (though, admittedly, that was actually my worst experience ever). Furthermore, even when I unlocked Gold Tier 2 last season, I didn't get anything remotely close to this—let alone anything half as good. And the best part of all is that these are precisely the cards I frequently use in my battles. I had just upgraded this Rare card—the Torrent Sniper—to Level 3 last season by purchasing 14 copies; the Thornmaw Berserker is also already upgraded to Level 2 in my collection; and likewise, the Palimpsest Prophet is also upgraded to Level 2. Incidentally, that last card is incredibly useful in battles involving the "Low Mana" rule set, and with these three additional copies, it will hopefully now be upgradable to Level 3! You can imagine what an incredible boost in motivation this provides—I actually received the very cards I actively use in real battles! From the perspective of a Welcome Loot drop, this is hands down the best haul I've ever had. Now, my absolute priority for this season will be to unlock Gold League Tier 1. That will be an incredibly difficult challenge, but if I manage to pull it off, it will be a major victory—and I will definitely be sure to tell you all about it!🔥
