Welcome to the weekly edition of my "Daily Grind" series of blogs.

Last February 1, 2024, I decided to rent cards that I think are the missing piece in my Food Chain Nature. I ended up renting three cards, which are two Underbrush Boar and one Wind-up Roller. On my first daily play & earn using the cards that I rented it brought me up to Solar Gold and one win away to Ethereal Diamond if not for the lucky draw of my opponent.

For five straight days, I was able to stay at Solar Gold but on the sixth day, most of my opponents were able to complete their combo ahead of me. With that being said, I was relegated to Midnight Shadow. Feeling that the meta has shifted once again I tried to make some changes to my Food Chain nature deck until I settled on the deck that I used today. It won 5-1 in Midnight Shadow and 2-2 in Auric Gold. Let's see if this new deck will lead me to Solar Gold once again.

In this featured match I am up against an Aggro Nature. In any match, I am always looking for my combo cards with an exception against war. If I am against War I am more into looking for my "draw card" cards that can do damage in order to keep the creatures of War at bay until I complete my combo.

I aggressively looked for my combo (any card in the combo)

My opponent played Wild Boar. I played Lootable Corpse.

My opponent played Black Jaguar, I attacked using Lootable Corpse, and I played Vow of Champions (I chose to Draw a card).

My opponent played Overgrown Rhino. I played Bladefly to slow my opponent down.

My opponent killed all my Bladefly. My opponent played Shield Maiden and Wild Hog. I played Iron-tooth Goblin. I used my God Power.

My opponent went face and left the confused Badger on my board. At this time my opponent got five creatures on the board. I played my first Food Chain Combo and gave me Finnian Fruitbearer, Starving Sabretooth, two Shredder, Frost Giant Deadshot, and Rabid Bear. I killed Shiedl Maiden with one Shredder. I killed Overgrown Rhino with the other Shredder.

My opponent killed Shredder with Ranger Firstbow. My opponent killed Shredder with Lupine Elemental. My opponent played played Shield Maiden and went face with Wild Boar. I killed Shield Maiden with Frost Giant Deadshot. I killed Wild Board with Rabid Bear. I went face with Finnian Fruitbearer. I played Zaskia. I played Lootable corpse from the Sanctum.

My opponent played a Hoplite and Bladefly. I attacked Hoplite with Lootable Corpse. I attacked Hoplite with Frost Giant Deadshot Vibrant. I killed one Bladefly with Rabid Bear. I attack one Bladefly with Vibrant Fruit and buffed Zaskia to 14/11. I killed one Bladefly with Canopy Barrage. I killed the remaining creature of my opponent with Finnian Fruitbearer. I went face with 14/11 Zaski reducing my opponent's HP to 14. I played The Trial Begins. I played Gleamweaver from the Sanctum.

My opponent played Oppalised Roots, I went face with 14/11 Zaskia and it is GG.

That is all for now guys, catch you up with the next one. Wishing you all safety, good health, and abundance.
