Tournament is over, so my personal summary of this event:

First vaccines.

If they were only for this event, its fine. Even without aiming for the Magic Apparatus (MA), just by doing the event (opening the boxes), I was easily able to get them and so i was well protected from nasty enemy attacks. Yes it sucks that I dont have them on max lvl and that I cant put them to any card (without paying for removing current skill - which will also mean loosing such skill in battle), but again, if it was just for this week, its fine and it helped me quite a lot to get further in battles.

If they will use it in future (new skill for enemy cards in possible new maps, dungeon or in further events)  I will not be happy that I didnt focus on the MA little bit more (in case they will not give us chance to get those vaccines again). But I cant imagine that they will make it major part of game (like in this event). More likely they will only give the skill to few enemy cards, so it will be only annoying and not worth of effort of maxing those vaccines. Protection is assured even on lvl1 and the boost is only one time anyway. Yes, it can be pain (cards with other skills dont have protection at all and those with vaccine lose their skills - for nothing if they are not hit by it) and I dont have resources to make fully seduced/leveled deck just with vaccines (or switching artifacts every time they bring event), but I really dont think they will use it in future on so many cards as in this event.

Second cards.

They dont have set bonus (as expected from only one week event), but they have (compare to other dark cards) quite good stats (high attack) so I was happy to collect them. And that bonus card is awesome for hard fights (dungeon or event bosses). Even if the card is weak, the skill can ruin enemy team like nothing (I suppose once the devs realize this, they will nerf it - weaker effect of infection or not spreading etc).

Third boss campaign (thus the core of the event).

The first bosses were easy to kill and the later ones didnt give too much more spice (lvl6 about 100, lvl30 about 300) so it was for sure easy even for weaker players. Yes, those will miss first kill bonus from later bosses which was huge, but it will still give them chance to play the event (and achieve something). Also farming silver spice on first few bosses (where 1 fight = kill, which returns the invested energy) was like unlimited source of silver coffers (which was in turn good for epic and legendary cards and for MA).

The illness was real pain in the fights, but I think it was well balanced (compare to mechanics in other events) so it didnt ruin the event.

There was good chance to get the cards for those who needed them (like me) although maxing them was not so easy and was still based on luck (like in all other events).

Summary.

Last year, during the long dark event, I spent 1k gems and 4mil gold. Never had chance in marathon (tournament on hooligapps is insane in events) so never had chance for full set, and even from the remaining cards I got only 5 (no luck at all when opening coffers) and not all of them are even on 5 stars. So as deck its useless. Even if I put effort in it, it was more pain than fun.

This time, its only one week long event, but I was (little bit luck shared with some farming) able to get all cards and all of them at 5 stars (so even the bonus one). Yes, it was not for sure till the last minute (literally - was missing 4 spies and 1 dark knight till the last coffer) and it cost me again 1k gems (was inpatient so half of it went to energy replenish and half to quite useless repeats in MA, was really not needed to spend so much) but only 2mil gold and result is much more better. I can build decent dungeon set now and even with some good skill in it. And even for those who were not able to get the cards at 5 stars, I think some of the cards will do good job in dungeon.

Thus I am very happy for this event. This time good job devs
