This Weeks Draw

My usual 3 "Sorry!" again this week, really hope the luckiest longshot card gets added into frontier too!

A few facts on the frontier draws

  • @andrealion becomes the first account to win 5 draws out of 14 possible, congratulations!
  • 264 of the 566 players who have played every week have won at least once.
  • over 7000 accounts have played in Frontier.
  • 17 Lite accounts in this weeks winners - most in one week so far.

By the way, not saying Andrealion is lucky, they are having good luck, but it is only 1 in 3,002 chance according to ChatGPT, so really its not as far out as people (including me, think)

Deck Completion Challenge

As we continue to play 3 accounts in frontier and work towards building 3 complete decks (1 gold foil, 2 regular foil) through playing the game I have broken my own rule of just through play, its just so hard when you have a couple of pennies left in credits not to pick up something from the market! As an example I picked up 3 plots of land and with the leftover credits I picked up a couple of gold foil Frontier commons, they are unbelievably cheap! but none the less we are mainly sticking to our guns and building the decks from play.

Gold foil legendries are very elusive in the packs I'm opening, but we have managed to max out a few rares.

Finally got an A'lan Musketeer on this account and have 4 legendries maxed out, the 2 "new" frontier cards Dire Bear and Moros Malik are proving to be the most difficult to complete in the commons and rares.

Slowly but surely on the 3rd account, nothing maxed but 2 of the Archons are up to level 3 and 2 more 66% of the way there, my least used Archon, Incessant Sage, is the one stuck at level 2.

Sort:  

Every Monday, idk if I want to try harder or give up. I usually don't play much on Mondays because I'm kind of burned out on it.

I bought the black foil arcane that the 5x winner pulled! I may never pull one myself, but at least other people are selling them for pretty cheap. I've bought quite a few black foil Foundations cards already, but even if I add up the cost of all of them, I've still paid considerably more for a single card in the game before.

The least lucky thing about their 5 wins is that they got the same card two weeks in a row.

I know the feeling, I play frontier as a relaxing grind after work, ranked takes a lot more thinking so I save that for later, but sometimes i think i may just be better spending my time on modern.

I notice you have picked up quite a few black foils, i probably should have just done the same..
