Strategy 1 - WITHOUT DEPOSITING MONEY
This strategy assumes you have bought the Spellbook and have about 100DEC available and let's face it, it takes a while to earn that. If you are in Bronze 2 you can do it. Of course, it's easier if you're already in Bronze 1.
It's important to understand exactly how I'm going to do this.
I don't buy any more cards until I have about 11-12$. All cards are at level 1 and I leave them at level 1. You only get frequent cards in these leagues if at all and they are worth 4-9 cents. I don't level these cards or don't level them further for the following reasons:
1. it is unnecessary to level cards if you don't have the corresponding hero.
In addition, you could argue that you can rent the cards - you can save that, because for such cards in levels 1,2, or 3 you get 0.1DEC or very little more per rental. With the DEC earned by selling such low-value cards, you will reach your goal faster to have enough DEC available to rent good cards.
- Most cards you can keep once so you have them but anything beyond that is unnecessary. If you need a low-value card you can rent it for 0.1DEC. If you want to have them to collect, wait until you generate a good cash flow and the cards are worth less than a day's revenue to you.
When you rent cards you often have the option to rent higher-level cards. I would advise against this unless they are cheaper than level 1 cards. I don't mean in relation to the strength but really cheaper than level 1 cards. However, this does not happen very often.
It is more effective to rent good cards, i.e. legendary cards, which are cheaper than leveled cards and a leveled hero. The cards in level 2 or level 3 usually cost twice as much as if you rent 5 or 6 times the card in level 1.
I only buy cards that cost about $11 or more with this strategy so that I have good rental income from these cards myself when I am not active.
Feel free to let me know what you think in the comments, so far it's working out pretty well.
