At the novice league the max level is 1bcx, here is where you can find it:
So, you'll only need one copy of the card.
- Another tip: At higher league which the max level is higher is common that epic cards (puple circle) and legendary cards (yellow) are used at level 1. That means, if you get one of those cards you'll be able to use it in higer leagues without the need to combine/level up it.
