Spoiler for those who haven't checked an oceanic server yet: House of Cards is the next event, starting August 31st, and they changed the cost of Hecate from 4 ace of hearts to 4 ace of spades. Master of Poker remains unchanged and still only gives Ace of hearts (at 30K points), so unless they introduce an ace swapping feature, Hecate has become a medium/heavy-casher-only hero.
Before, a patient player could slowly work their way towards Hecate, hitting 30K in Master of Poker repeatedly over several months. It required something like 150K HOC points over four Main HOCs, but it was possible if you planned properly. Ace of Spades has no comparable method of acquisition for free players: if you want them, you need to spend diamonds.
I really hope that there is going to be some sort of ace swapping hot event that just hasn't been started yet, cause right now it feels like even the smart free players have been kicked in the face on this one.
Even as a casher I'm rather upset at this: last HOC I dumped more diamonds than I should have trying to get Hecate. I ended up 1 ace of hearts short, and got 5 ace of spades in the process. I was hoping to get the Ace of Hearts from Master of Poker this time for Hecate and try to pick up ES next month with the spades, but now I'm stuck choosing between Hecate and ES, or spending even more diamonds to get both.
