Usually, events like this are strictly for the benefit of the top players. This event had something for everyone. As a result, everyone could point to something they didn't like about it... and we have heard from some of them. I thought it was the best event I have experience during my time playing Smutstone. My deck is comparatively weak and I resisted the temptation to 'invest' in event cards that would never have a lasting place in my deck. Instead, I used the coffers to garner duplicates to improve my existing deck from 3.4k to 5.4k in the course of placing in two daily tournaments. My improved deck meant that I could battle Hank longer and get more of the enduring gold of this event: the artifacts. Even the final week had some value for a weak player like me. Just the normal business of opening duel chests gave me a couple spins of the machine that provided the cookies I needed to make a run at level 7 Hank. I required 15 battles to defeat him but spent only 80 rubies to complete the task thanks to the extra cookies. The previous event offered nothing for me to do while waiting for the return to normalcy. The developers have not been receiving much love here. I just wanted to them to know that some of us do appreciate how this event was run. Thank you.
