Greetings!
Welcome to the weekly edition of my "Daily Grind" series of blogs. This is my follow-up blog regarding my previous blog "Trying Out Lootrush - Does it Worth the Rental Fee?" which I posted last week. In this blog, I am glad to report that my rental is a success. To be specific, I only rented three cards and I am only playing a single deck which is "Food Chain Nature". By the way, I also stumbled upon "[8M]CopperPitch" and I was lucky to win against his "Olympian Light" deck.
I am saying it is a success because before I rented the three cards I was only able to stay at Midnight Shadow but after my rental, I am now able to stay at Solar Gold for five consecutive days (until now). And in today's Daily Play & Earn, I won five out of ten games enough to make me stay at Solar Gold.
My "Daily Play & Earn" performance during my rental period
To be honest, my main goal is to breach Auric Gold and stay from there, but to my surprise, the deck is performing well, and was able to stay at Solar Gold for five days now which is my best performance so far in the game. Below is my daily play & earn record in those five days.
Difference in gameplay between Midnight Shadow and Solar Gold
Here's what I noticed on my matches at Solar Gold, most are "race to draw combo cards or win condition cards". The first to complete his/her combo cards will be the likely winner. Whereas in Midnight Shadow skill with some luck is the way the game played. I cannot determine the play style at Auric Gold because I only stayed there for several games.
Featured Match
This featured match is against a Midrange Magic deck. I am expecting a loss against this magic but I was glad that I got away with the win.
