Get an extra Castle Natrhia pack with the mysterious Legendary Quest

Today a mysterious Legendary Quest rolled out upon logging in. “A Taste of Anima” requires you to play 5 Infuse Cards, the new Castle Nathria mechanic. There was no prior notice that this was coming, and some think it is something that should have happened last week with the expansion launch.
