Today, I leveled up two more Arcana cards. Looking at the changes, you’ll agree that the upgrade was truly worthwhile, as both cards received improvements that exceeded expectations—changes that will be instrumental in boosting my in-game ranking.

The first is the Earth element melee attack card, "Mad Gearhead." Previously, I held this card at Level 1, where it possessed 1 melee attack power, 5 health points, and 2 speed, along with the "Reach" ability. Typically, common cards see only a single stat change during early-level upgrades, but "Mad Gearhead" gained two improvements upon reaching Level 2: its health increased by +1, and its melee attack power also rose by +1, bringing it to 2. While the health boost is significant, the increase in melee attack power makes it much more likely that I’ll field this card in future battles; a 6-mana card with only 1 melee attack power rarely fits into a strong lineup, but now, it could prove highly effective in battles with moderate mana caps or specific rulesets.

Today's second card is another massive melee attack card from the Fire element: the Grove Doomblade. I have been using this card since Level 1 because its 'Sneak' ability helps flank the opponent's team from the rear; furthermore, thanks to its impressive melee attack power, it usually knocks out enemies in just two hits. While those were its Level 1 capabilities, upgrading to Level 2 has brought two changes: first, its armor has increased from 2 to 3; and second, it has gained a new ability called 'Ferocity,' which allows it to deal double damage to enemy cards possessing the 'Taunt' ability. Just consider the impact of this—it already has a melee attack power of 5, which effectively becomes 10 (5 x 2) against an enemy with 'Taunt.'
