My Alric rental every season is definitely a net positive in the way it makes my season a lot easier and also helps me get the extra rewards chests earlier than I would too. And all for 3 or 4 Dec per day. Very nice.
This was my last quest of the season and with 14 or so more hours to the end of the season and 22 hours till my next quest, this is it. I have finished the season in Silver I. Quite easy with Alric.
Alric plus Djin Oshannus and Ruler of the Seas is a deadly combo. Somehow with the other water summoners, these legendary cards become very ordinary and can be even beaten with start pack cards. Never underestimate the power of a good summoner. Especially one that complements your cards.
