First time Diamond!

Wow, here is a sight that I didn't think I would ever see... At least not without spending a bit more on better cards! This is the first time I have ever hit Diamond tier, with most seasons finishing in Gold 3.

Honestly, I would love to say that I made it to Diamond with a combination of skill and card cunning... But it was more due to stupid blind luck... The great equaliser! I started the morning about 150 points under the diamond tier cut off, which is my usual end of season finish... Then I started on a streak (so double points for wind). Next thing I know it... The next three or four games were surrenders or absent... Which meant I got some huge points for doing nothing... Boosting me safely into the Diamond tier.

The only decision now was whether or not to chase the daily quest and risk the Diamond rating. Seeing as I had a bit of a buffer and the daily quest was with one of my stronger splinters (Earth)... I went greedy and had a crack at the daily quest as well!

... My luck held out, and I got the daily quest. With an Enhanced Quest Potion that is a total of 12 Reward cards to flip over... But this is where my luck ran out.. Nothing shaky or gold in there! Still... Diamond!

Congratulations. At least my loss wasn't for nothing.

Just great!
I am still trying to get into Diamond.Still need 79 points at the moment. But it is going up and down! It could be that I will slip toward 2600 again. My energy capture rate is none existing anymore. So I do hope that I can reach it!
Cheers,
Peter

Congrats, I made it to Diamond III as well. There's nothing now going upward besides death, so savour it and grab the booty!

Congrats, I understand that it is special ... because I don't really understand anything!
I look with astonishment and admiration at those like you who manage to find time for such pleasures.

Ah... it is nice to find time for some idle pleasures! Not too much... but not too little!

Gratz on making it into diamond! It is quite hard to get there these days.

My daily rewards have not been to great most time I don't even try for them. I'm not balanced on all splinter so there only a couple of them I can even do once I get to far up in the season.

I've only started to balance my splinters... they aren't killers but now I can manage to hold my own pretty decently regardless of what the daily is. However, my newly levelled Lord Arianthus is making me rethink my line ups.
