WOW!!
THIS was by far my best multiple Gladius case opening since I've been in Splinterlands these last few years:
https://splinterlands.com/mana-well?t=f9535fc342a7584bac4699b75be2095728a68db2&ref=guyman
I made sure to spend Merits on 40 Blood Stones and 40 Power Stones before buying and then opening 8 gladius cases containing 5 cards each (40 in total).
The result?:
3 Legendary cards; 1 of these was a gold foil
2 Epic cards
8 Rare cards, including 2 gold rare cards
27 Common cards, including 2 gold cards
In total I got 5 gold cards.
My goal is to acquire at least one max level summoner that can call on a gladiator card in Wild, but until then renting them might be my best bet. Helios Matriarch is likely my favourite choice, being a Dragon Summoner that can then summon another splinter as well. Anyone willing to send one my way, do get in touch :D :D.
Cheers.
