Could a noob make it? the answer is YES!!! For some exciting news after my last post and revealed that I got a reward chest of just a Potion, My next reward was:

Man was I stoked about this. A very good life card and epic to boot. But I was only able to manage one chest.
four days ago I ended up with another potion (does it matter which?).
but 3 days ago I got this >>>

I'm just glad I was able to get 3 chests and one was a card, but more importantly I was able to get some DEC. DEC that I needed to rent some more cards. and then I earned:

At this point, I was running low and barely able to rent one more time. This time I rented some level 2 cards. Now this is important. Because at Level 2 summoner you can have higher than Level 1 cards and level 2 cards common are very cheap to rent. In fact in most cases it's same price as level 1 (TIP #1)

Was this move risky or worth it? Here's the next reward; 9 CHESTS!!!

I'd say it was worth it. A bit of luck too, getting 64 dec out of that chest. Now i'm able to rent at least for a few days and with End of Season I'm looking forward to opening >>>>

27 CHESTS!!!!

Man this went better than I expected. I wasn't able to do anything without renting cards, but now my cp is starting to increase and my cards are getting better. I will continue to buy and accumulate cards where I can and continue to rent. I don't know what next season will bring. Heck I'm not sure if I'll get anything good from the EOS rewards. Odds are pretty good in my favor.

So tip#1: rent level 2 summoner and some level 2 cards that will help you.
Tip#2: rent for 24 hours
Tip#3: Stay within a reasonable budget for daily renting
Tip#4: Check the gold card rentals. Some are very cheap and give you bonuses for wins when using them and They are already level 2 or higher because they're gold.

I hope this helps. And please follow me on my journey:
From Dust to Diamond!
