Hey folks.

This is sort of a follow up on my firs post I did on how to complete 3 daily quests with 1 day worth of renting.
This is going to be short and sweet.

Ok. So there I was ... on the "first day of the renting cycle" on which I wasn't renting. It was a snipe quest and I only managed to complete 3 out of 5 wins. I wasn't getting any good match ups with mana or splinters so instead of wasting ECR I decided it was going to be all or nothing on the second day.

My goal for renting is when I rent for power I also rent a card that I'm actually going to use so I usually end up paying a bit more. This time it was a Golden Byzantine Kitty and a Halfling Alchemist to get me to Gold 3.

I was crushing it on day 2. I didn't get anything interesting out of the 2 quest then but I was having so much fun I didn't realize that I got my ECR down to 20%. I recouped my rent with a bit of DEC to spare. I checked when exactly on the 3-rd day I'd have to complete the 3-rd quest knowing full well that I was going to be cutting it close with some luck on my side.

I had 20 minutes to complete the quest (Sneak) before the rent was over. I had 3 matches in a row a loss and on the 4-th I had a call from work which ate 6 precious minutes of rent time. Back on track I was starting go give up hope, I either had no dragon splinter available in the battle or a low mana match where I couldn't use kitty. In the span of the last 10 games I managed to secure victory with 60 seconds left on the clock. The kitty came through for me. I see why people praise it so much but damn is it expensive.

So as a bonus the chest gave nothing special but a gold foil none the less.

Thanks for reading. Talk to you guys soon.
