Mid season update, Blast is so strong

A full team of gold cards against my 1 cc army, and that heal form Xenith Monk can be hard to deal with. Until the last couple cards I thought it was a loss, but that blast and sneak were working his backline over.

Battle
I seem to have forgotten how to have the battle play in a post.

I got beat down in my first brawl due to a lack of cards, but still got a few free wins at least.
That pushed me over 2k Merits for another gladius case that will get opened in a couple days when my guild join timer is up. It should be just in time for the next brawl.

With about 4 days left I managed to pass last seasons glint total of about 4800 already, and have been pulling minor chests along the way in hopes of some new unique cards. Sadly nothing of note yet. I am planning on pulling all of the glint as normal chests at the end of the season as well, unless there is a better way. Please let me know how you plan to spend your glint this season.

I will keep pushing to see if in can get to Silver 1, but should I tank my rating the last day to try to get the bronze and silver chests next season?

(edit)
Card pulls so far:
Ujurak Elder
Chaos Evoker
Halaran Huntress
Chaos Evoker
Broke Earth Thing
Drybone hobgoblin
