I did it. Made the new account starting with $150 dollars some of it was for Hive Power, then 10 packs to open for a chance for a quick return, and then the rest to buy cards to start playing the game. This will be a running series for some more info you can watch the video. It already has over 200 views which are pretty good for me in this down market.
If you watch feel free to give some feedback on what I should focus on and you can check out the first post on the new account here
