Has this happened to you?

I'm playing Platinum level in the arena, defeat my first opponent, but I don't get too excited. I mean, only a third of the way there, you know?

Second opponent seems plagued by bad draws, only gets three werewolves out, unable to use the special ability. I win again. Starting to get a little cautiously optimistic that I shot at a special, double-bonus, rock and roll, good time spin...

Third opponent also plagued by bad draws, duo deck only getting mono towers. I manage to win again! Awesome! Maybe I'll get another of the elusive shards I hate playing against so much!

The special reels start spinning... First one stops... Second one stops... Third one stops...

And I win an Arctic Octopus.

Lulz.

Same thing has happened to me, except with a Pharaoh, which seems to be even more common. XD

Cool story bro.

Also yes this happened to me too a few times, nothing wrong with this actually, you can win a rare before even respinning.

You won an upped card! Don't complain! (Besides, Arctic Octopuses are awesome ) I actually have more SoSes and SoSas than Arctics anyway. PvP has its advantages

Duh...wha?

You must already have a decent card collection then. XD

Thought I recognized that name. *facepalm*

I should have guessed you had everything! I guess your reputation doesn't precede you in all cases, Jenkar. XD

Oh, and thanks for Stompy. That was you, right?

Never mind...I don't know who that was. I just recognize your name from SOMEWHERE!

Note : separe forum and game abilities. Being awesome at the game doesn't mean you'll get positions, and reverse is true too.

One thing to note : till you have 12 of it, every rare is to be cherished.

Relics aren't rare ?

[mesaprotector]

Relics aren't rare ?

I protest this! Relics should have four bands on each card!

Unfortunately, I can confirm that this is true.

This seems to happen to me every time I get a Plat (or any league) spin - one of the reasons why I stopped farming the Arena, and for my consequent lack of rares.
