Another week has flown by, and time really does fly when you’re having fun, doesn’t it?
Current state of the presale:
We’re already past 1 billion DEC in spending — yep, that’s correct!
To be exact, 1,052,208,000 DEC has been committed so far.
Which is roughly $1 million USD. Insane! 😱
And with 9 days still left, I think we’re going to see a strong push at the end of the presale.
Wouldn’t be surprised if that number climbs way higher.
My Current Position
Right now, I'm sitting at rank 185...
Not gonna lie — I’m getting a little nervous! The cutoff for the title reward is position 250, and I really want to stay in the top to grab one. That extra title would be super helpful for the land phase, especially since I’m going all-in on self-sufficiency.
Alpha Leaks from The People's Guild

These previews show how insanely powerful some of these new cards might be. The more I see, the more hyped I get.
Let's Talk About New Abilities
In my last post, I said I’d either cover new abilities or cards...
Honestly, it’s tough to give final opinions until we’ve had a chance to play with them — but here’s my take so far:
Favorite Ability?
I'm all in on Bloodline Dominion. This one lets Archons summon units of the same Bloodline type — and the combinations are going to be wild. Like this combo:
Imagine this Archon summoning an orc-type like the Warborn Chieftain from the Earth splinter:
This isn’t just good for Modern — it’s going to create mind-blowing combos in Wild too. Seriously, unthinkable stuff!
Favorite Archon and Unit – Pre-release Picks
This was a hard one. I kept going back and forth...
First off, @nateaguila and the team — hats off. The artwork is stunning.
If I had to pick my favorite card just based on art, it has to be Gorgug the Endless.
That pose screams: “I own this battlefield.”
But for stats and strategy, I’m currently loving Zargul.
This unit deals damage to your own team — which might sound risky — but it plays into Painforge, its own ability.
To make the most of it, you’ll want to pair Zargul with these guys:
Runic Skychonk
Archer Koi
Thragha (if you’re running a Bloodline Archon)
There’s potential for some seriously nasty synergy here. Can’t wait to experiment!
Pack Opening Dilemma...
I have 200 packs lined up for launch.
But here’s the issue... I’m only making 2 Midnight Potions per day.
That means:
- 200 packs × 5 potions = 1,000 potions needed
- 1,000 ÷ 2 per day = 500 days 😅
Yeah... I cannot wait that long.
So now I’m wondering — should I:
- Open without potions?
- Buy a bunch of potions?
- Or just wait?
Honestly leaning toward opening them raw — the bonuses for standard packs are not the interesting, and I want to play ASAP.
Closing notes...
Anyway, that’s all from me this week. Just wanted to share some thoughts and get the hype going!
