After buying the spellbook and a couple of untamed packs to get me started I was supposed to not spend any more money on the game, at least for a while... Well that failed.

A couple of weeks ago I got delegated a Yodin Zaku and I have been using him a lot since then. I'm even pretty sure that I was only able to make it to gold because of him. Most of my summoners and monsters are still level 1, but by using Yodin I made it to gold pretty easily.
Currently, using Yodin is by far my strongest option. Not only does he help me a lot with climbing the ladder, I also feel like he will go up in value in the upcoming months/years. At least, that's what I told myself when I decided to break my own rules and spend more money on splintelands.
Anyway, now I can use Yodin to earn enough DEC to buy a second land plot.
