Final Rank: 80 - My FIRST EVER T1!!! Final Score: 14.68 million

Deck Power (Pre/Begining/End/Post): 43k / 138k at the height during the event / 64k

Money Spent (and currency): $20 (bought some chains at the end)

Coins Spent: 2,500 (bought 15 chains at the end)

Battle Cubes: - 600

Energon Cubes: - 300

Chains: - 35

Nets: who cares

Ruby Pulls: got a  couple deaths early. Then pulled a few weapons. 1 flash light. 2 porn novels. a couple miniature bikes.

Medals: Pulled quite a few Draths (maybe 6?) and 2 Old Snakes

Liked: My first ever T1. Liked that the r6 and r7 rewards actually compete with the other r6 and r7 cards - making the campaign event worthwhile for the first time ever

Disliked: Its my first t1. I have a MTM galvy from TVT and a Dirge from T2 in the raid, so I am not a deck of r6 and r7. Having said that, I don't like the MEM r5 UM being equal to those r6s. Its a mistake and I think they nerf all the r5s and give people a bunch of chains and TM for the wasted upgrades. Seems the only sensible solution to me - more on that later.

Other:  Was busy at work and basically missed day 1 on this. Somehow on day 2 I raced through and pulled an old snake and drath on pull 1. Also snagged some r5 UM and once I upgraded that, realised it was a way to upgrade my deck. Went hard from there on the r5s and once I had a 100k+ deck ran through H8 a few times and added to MEM r6 UMs.

Managed another Old Snake on day 3 and now at 140k deck (2 MEM r6. Old Snake (x2), MEM Drath, the rest r5 MEM UM) and staying around the 60 - 80 rank. I committed at that point to t1 for my first ever and went hard. Did OK with the medals, but the only thing nets got me in this campaign was 2 r5 UM - wasn't lucky with nets.

I was surprised at the amount of points needed in the last couple hours. Probably added around 4 mill on the last morning, hence the need for the extra 15 chains. I did that by burning through H10 and chaining the boss at the end. That is where the BC burn kicks in. Even with a 140k deck, 3 cubes wouldn't beat the mobs, so I just wasted 1 cube each time (15) and then it took around 30 cubes to beat the boss. At a 350k point return, the final day alone (10 x H10 bosses) was -450 cubes!

As I mentioned above, I think they will nerf the r5 UMs, it was just too easy to add more than 20K to my standard deck power. No way they let that ride. For that reason alone, I am sitting on enough r6 UM cards to MEM another 4 UMs (meaning 6 UMs in total). I am too scared to get rid of them. I also got my first even full r7 - which is maxed out and looks GOOOOOOD.
