Thanks monstermother,
I'll definitely have to check out your @itisjustme blog for those tips and tricks!
I've been wanting to do this for a while but never wanted to dive in too deep. I think this will be a fun experiment in the long run. Having some experience in the game is very helpful in my day 1/ day 1.5 progression in the game.
The DEC and SPT introduction while keeping the daily quest rewards the same have definitely made me push towards trying this as a somewhat free to play player. With so many rewards that can be exchanged to cards to eventually earn more seems like a nice little cycle for anyone to be able to keep progressing in this game!
