With the season almost over, I poured a lot of time into Modern format battles to earn more Glint. I fought hard, but as usual, I was often matched against stronger players. At one point, I even dropped back to Bronze I… lucky me, right? 😂
😅 The Struggle Is Real
Tried to climb but constantly faced tougher lineups
Learned that renting too many cards out of frustration isn’t always the answer
Letting emotions dictate card rentals last season wasted both DEC and Glint
My leaderboard goal (Top 20) didn’t happen this time—I ended at Rank 133
No leaderboard Glint for me this season. Unlike last season, where I actually earned some from finishing Top 20, this one was a humbling experience.
🎁 The Fun Part: Opening 73 Major Chests!
Despite the grind and frustrations, here’s where things got exciting—I opened 73 Major Chests at the end of the season:
✨ 1 Epic Card
🟦 Several Rares
🟩 Plenty of Commons
🧪 A pile of Potions
⚡ Energy Points (much needed!)
🎖️ A few Merits
Not the jackpot I was hoping for, but still better than nothing. At least I’ve got more cards to slowly build and combine.
🧠 Lessons Learned This Season
Don’t let emotions dictate card rentals—you’ll overspend with little return.
Focus on building consistent lineups instead of chasing meta cards.
The leaderboard is a marathon, not a sprint—patience is key.
Rewards might feel random, but card accumulation matters long-term.
🚀 My Goal for Next Season
Play more consistently in Modern without tilting
Rent smart, not out of frustration
Aim for steady Glint gains, not just leaderboard ranking
Share chest openings and rental strategies as I go
