At the very beginning of this season, I guess, I reached the Bronze 1 tier on the second day. After that, in the Bronze 1 loot, I received the two cards shown in the screenshot above. Both were new to my deck, meaning I didn't already have copies of these cards. To be honest, both of these cards significantly helped my strategy. I really missed a card with a flank ability in the Water element, behind which I could safely place my Commander Slade or the newly added Blue Wyrm Travesty, and this second card could have played a good tank role in the Death element. Overall, these two cards obtained in the Bronze 1 loot were very useful, and it was a good thing that I reached this level so early in the season. But then, I don't know what happened, and I got stuck between the 800 and 900 rankings. I played over two dozen battles, but I couldn't sustain above 900. I even tried to add many other cards to my deck, but it felt like the game was conspiring against me. But yesterday, I finally held onto a ranking above 900, and then just a little while ago, I won the battle shown in the screenshot below, and managed to reach Tier 3 Silver.🔥

And as usual, upon unlocking the Silver tier, I received Silver 3 loot as a welcome gift, which included 4+1=5 chests. While using potions doesn't actually give me any benefits, I still try my luck with them every now and then because if they ever work in this part of the game, I can win some pretty good cards. So, not only did I use Alchemy, but I also used Legendary potions to open these chests. This is also because recently, after the arrival of the Arcana set, I won a gold card for the first time, but it is not from the Arcana set but from the Gladiator set, which cannot be unbound. But after that one win, I have again become hopeful that maybe I will get gold or legendary cards among the cards of the Arcana set as well.

But perhaps my luck is a little weak in this regard, as once again, my potions were wasted, and I didn't get any Gold or Legendary cards. Apart from some 400 merits, I also got two Common cards that I've used extensively so far this season, and I'd recommend them to you as well, because with their flank and sneak abilities and good other stats, both perform very well in their respective elements. Although both of these cards were already part of my deck, more copies of these would be helpful in getting them to Level 2 quickly, so I'm somewhat satisfied. And now in the remaining days of this season, I wish to reach Silver 2 and Silver 1 as well because playing in higher tiers will increase my in-game rewards, which will ultimately help me in making my deck more powerful.

Great progress reaching Silver 3! 🔥 Climbing from Bronze and getting stuck around the 800–900 rating happens to many of us, so it’s nice to see persistence paying off. Those early Bronze 1 cards can really change a strategy, especially when they fill gaps like flank or sneak positions. Even if the potions didn’t bring a gold or legendary this time, extra copies are still valuable for leveling up the cards faster. Keep pushing for Silver 2 and Silver 1 — the better rewards will definitely help strengthen your deck. Good luck in the rest of the season and keep sharing your journey! 💪🎮
