Yeah, that's true - until gold level, you earn a little DEC. But honestly, I did not pay much attention to the DEC I earned during this experiment, I mainly wanted to get the best place as soon as possible. Especially that I thought that I would not earn too much DEC total, because my ECR will quickly fall to a very low level ;-)
Rental market is pretty busy right now, which means it's getting harder to rent a card that we are interested (especially neutrals) haha :D
Neutrals, or the level 4 Rennyn, lol
I love experiments like that. I'm glad to hear yours was successful.
A couple of months ago, I started one to see how far I could get without spending anything else than what I could earn on Steem and the dApps.
I could't get my deck to level 4 summoners... maybe I could have, but it would have required a lot of time, effort and patience.
But that was before DEC was introduced. Sometimes I wonder if I should try it again and see if things would turn out different this time... 😉
