The end of the 17th season of the new rewards system has come and the 2nd full season of the new Soul Bound Reward Cards set (43 cards). Here's what I got from my 51 Diamond chests (Expected Value: $7.19 --> Actual Value: $7.81):
  • 51 Alchemy Potions;
  • 109 Legendary Potions;
  • 27.98 SPS;
  • a total of 74 cards - 1 Legendar7; 1 Epic; 13 Summoners; 1 GF Common;
  • 1943 merits;
  • 3 packs;
I am really pleased with the rewards I got even though the AV of the chests is lower than projected due to the fact that I have received a lot of really nice reward cards which currently have no value (since they cannot be traded right now) but have huge value for my collection which is what matters the most to me.
This is my 13th complete season in Gold league (with a jump into Diamond III/II/I) and I am pleased with the amount of chests I earned, especially having in mind that I was earning Diamond Season chests in Gold, however, this time around I got into Diamond as soon as I had enough rating to do so. I am still unsure if that is the best strategy for chest optimization or not.

I've opened the 3 packs I received, and I got lucky on the third one:

I was really hoping for a GF Lily but what I got was:

That was actually still good enough cause I needed just 1 more copy to max out my Carnage Titan and now I am finally done with it.

And here's the summary for the whole season - 108 Diamond Chests and 37 Gold Chests (total value: $23.09):

  • 7 packs;
  • 113.42 SPS;
  • 230 cards - 2 Epics; 3 Legendaries; 14 Summoners; 11 GF Commons;
  • 3,859 Merits;
  • 127 Alchemy Potions;
  • 227 Legendary Potions;
  • 130.34 SPS from Battles; (EV: $3.67)
Considering again the huge amount of SB Cards I have received, I am really pleased with the fact that I am just $5 over the EV for the Season. Hopefully I will keep getting so many cards as there are really a lot of cards to collect and level.

I have gotten a bit tired of trying to compete in Diamond league for a fairly large part of the season with my Gold-level deck so I have actually decided to take a leap of faith and start upgrading my deck to a Diamond level. I sold all my RW summoners and managed to fund a fair bit of upgrades with those. I'm also investing everything I get from blogging as well as fiat to speed things up. I don't think that's visible with my current win rate but I hope things will improve drastically sooner rather than later.

I did sign up for as many tourneys as possible, however, when I switched to Gold most of the silver tourneys and all of the bronze ones became unplayable for me due to the restrictive pricing for Gold level players. I had a few good placements this season.

Decent earnings for the amount of tourneys I have entered.

I've received a total of 221 cards - a lot more than last season.

I got 7 packs this season which was pretty good.

I've earned a decent amount of SPS. It's unfortunate that I can't maintain a 50%+ win rate throughout the season. That would definitely help on this front.

The SPS report for this season is decent. It doesn't look as good as the last one but as I have already mentioned, it's all about luck and luck is not sustainable.

The renting tool I use is Splex.gg. However, due to the fact that I have begun maxing out my CL deck, I have had to pull all my rentals down, and I also pulled any RW duplicates I had due to the anticipation of the new posting fee for rentals of 1 DEC. I want to see how the market reacts to that first and what cards I can put up for rent, and I will then re-enable them. I think that putting them up for seasonal renting will be the way to go.

Let's see how the new system treats the poor ol'ex-Bronze players or in this case my poor ex-Bronze now more-so Silver/Gold-farming alt account.😁 Here's the breakdown of the screenshot containing 39 Gold Chests (EV: $5.46 -> AV: $1.08):
  • 111 Legendary Potions;
  • 10 Alchemy Potions;
  • 38.35 SPS;
  • a total of 98 cards; 3 Legendaries; 1 Epic; 11 Summoners
  • 768 Merits;
I didn't get any packs this time so that's the main reason I am so much below the EV. However, I am really glad with the amount of cards I got so I don't really care about the AV right now. This was also my first attempt to earn Diamond chests with my silver-level alt deck, and I actually earned just 12 chests less than my main account. I think I'm either very good with my alt account or I do really poorly with my main, or it could be both..

Let's have a look at my total earnings for the whole season on this account for 45 Diamond, 87 Gold chests and 11 Silver for a total of $10.80.

  • 84.371 SPS;
  • 243 cards - 3 Legendaries; 4 Epics; 34 Summoners;
  • 1,106 Merits;
  • 254 Legendary potions;
  • 106 Alchemy potions;
  • 3 packs;
  • 57.01 SPS from Battles (AV: $1.60)
Again the EV for this amount of chests is $12.61 and I am a bit lower than that but that does not matter considering the fact that I've received a total of 243 cards for the season --> more than what I got on my main account. ;)

I basically started playing in Silver and I jumped into Gold III as soon as possible. You can tell that by the fact that my win rate is below 50% on this account as well. I managed to get into Diamond territory rating this season again and this time I took the leap just to get Diamond chests next season. It's the quantity of soulbound cards in the Diamond chests that is so lucrative for me.

I have participated in 1 Gold tourney this season, and I actually got 15 SPS with the entry fee of 2 SPS I paid.

Here are a bit more details related to the breakdown of the cards I got.

Not too bad for a self-played Silver-ish alt account:
