Another week has flown by, and time really does fly when you’re having fun, doesn’t it?

Current state of the presale:

We’re already past 1 billion DEC in spending — yep, that’s correct!
To be exact, 1,052,208,000 DEC has been committed so far.
Which is roughly $1 million USD. Insane! 😱

And with 9 days still left, I think we’re going to see a strong push at the end of the presale.

Wouldn’t be surprised if that number climbs way higher.

My Current Position

Right now, I'm sitting at rank 185...

Not gonna lie — I’m getting a little nervous! The cutoff for the title reward is position 250, and I really want to stay in the top to grab one. That extra title would be super helpful for the land phase, especially since I’m going all-in on self-sufficiency.

Alpha Leaks from The People's Guild

Some spicy alpha was dropped this week by @bjangles and @thepeoplesguild — definitely go check them out if you haven’t yet:

These previews show how insanely powerful some of these new cards might be. The more I see, the more hyped I get.

Let's Talk About New Abilities

In my last post, I said I’d either cover new abilities or cards...
Honestly, it’s tough to give final opinions until we’ve had a chance to play with them — but here’s my take so far:

Favorite Ability?

I'm all in on Bloodline Dominion. This one lets Archons summon units of the same Bloodline type — and the combinations are going to be wild. Like this combo:

Imagine this Archon summoning an orc-type like the Warborn Chieftain from the Earth splinter:

This isn’t just good for Modern — it’s going to create mind-blowing combos in Wild too. Seriously, unthinkable stuff!

Favorite Archon and Unit – Pre-release Picks

This was a hard one. I kept going back and forth...

First off, @nateaguila and the team — hats off. The artwork is stunning.
If I had to pick my favorite card just based on art, it has to be Gorgug the Endless.
That pose screams: “I own this battlefield.”

But for stats and strategy, I’m currently loving Zargul.
This unit deals damage to your own team — which might sound risky — but it plays into Painforge, its own ability.

To make the most of it, you’ll want to pair Zargul with these guys:

Runic Skychonk

Archer Koi

Thragha (if you’re running a Bloodline Archon)

There’s potential for some seriously nasty synergy here. Can’t wait to experiment!

Pack Opening Dilemma...

I have 200 packs lined up for launch.
But here’s the issue... I’m only making 2 Midnight Potions per day.
That means:

• 200 packs × 5 potions = 1,000 potions needed
• 1,000 ÷ 2 per day = 500 days 😅

Yeah... I cannot wait that long.
So now I’m wondering — should I:

• Open without potions?
• Buy a bunch of potions?
• Or just wait?

Honestly leaning toward opening them raw — the bonuses for standard packs are not the interesting, and I want to play ASAP.

Closing notes...

Anyway, that’s all from me this week. Just wanted to share some thoughts and get the hype going!

Thanks for reading my ramblings. Hope you all enjoyed it — see you on the battlefield 🛡️

The countdown to release is on, and the excitement is only growing. Whether you're stacking potions, climbing the leaderboard, or just here for the amazing art — there's something in this set for everyone. Let me know what you're most excited about, and may your packs be full of gold foils/black foils or even arcane foils!
