I bet I cast her green hundreds of times and I cast imhb black 0 times. but in 6 months I bet I throw away several storm greens and have a total of 1-2 imhb blacks, so t50 it is... Storm is given out more than any other character. It is ridiculous. Daredevil comes in a close second. For some reason, every four star release they decide to make them the top 50+ reward.

I'd love to take my foot off the pedal but really don't want to risk dropping. I could probably stop right now and still get t150 but the vets that waited until Monday morning to join all want imhb so gotta keep it up.

Lots of familiar names here. I wouldn't be trying so hard except that the red cover is the only one I missed during Ultron so I needs it.

Lots of familiar names here. I wouldn't be trying so hard except that the red cover is the only one I missed during Ultron so I needs it. I'm in the same bracket and - even though only about 200 people were able to catch the first sub in it, top 50 is not going to be a cakewalk. I've been hovering roughly around 20th (though I got into the top ten briefly this morning) and I've had to play it closer to optimally than I was expecting to get there. I don't think I'm going to do Slice 4 again, though. If it ended an hour earlier it would be okay, but it's affecting my sleep. They need to run slices every 3-4 hours, not with 6 hours of separation. Anytime 7-10 would be fine for me.
