Buying EPIC Draw from Reward Shop

Hello Splinterlands and Hive Fam!

I hope life is treating you well wherever you are in this part of the world, and that the weekend is going great.

My Splinterlands Game account is - FinPulse9.

Every season, I try to buy some of the cards from the reward shop, and this way I try to utilise the glint that I earned in day-to-day battles as well as after the season ends. I mean to say that Glint is the token that we earn through each battle that we win, and also once the season ends, a bunch of tokens are rewarded to all the players based on different categories and parameters. This number can be different every season even if you end the season in the same league, because there are multiple parameters based on which the end-of-season reward is distributed.

Now, when the season is about to end in the next few days, I thought I should be using this opportunity to utilise some balance of Glint tokens and buy the cards, so I decided to enter the reward shop marketplace. I am going to buy epic draw cards, and the maximum I can buy is 25. The cost of one card is 15,000 tokens, and since I'm going for 25 cards in total, which is the maximum limit, I need to pay 375K tokens for this purchase.

I just need to confirm the purchase, and once I do that, this will be a successful transaction. After that, I will be getting the option to see what sort of card I have received out of 25. Everyone expects to get some gold foil cards and powerful cards, but not every time we get them because it is a random process where you may be lucky enough to get them or maybe not.

I was expecting that I would be getting a Gold Card, but sadly I did not receive one, which is fine. As I mentioned earlier, the process is completely random, and I do not have any say in it, so I could not use it, but that's fine again since it's an automated process. There have been instances when I got a couple of gold cards out of the purchase, and I was obviously very happy, so today I did not get anything in terms of a gold card, so I am OK with this as well, and maybe next time when I try buying something from the marketplace I will get better cards. All the cards that I have purchased today will be in my game account because ultimately I am trying to grow my card collection as much as I can and will reach a point where I am dependent on my own cards rather than taking cards on rental.

Rental is a cost for me that I need to pay every season, so technically I pay two times for the rental in a month, and once I build my deck in such a way that I can play my game without any dependency on the rental market, then my cost of the rental will be gone, and I hope that to happen soon. Thank you.
