the problem is the amount of time its required to raise 50 scs as a free player , and the timing of your needs. For example , it just happens that i need at this time to start expanding my baracks , becasue i can't hadle the amount of fodder (for awakening ) and spirits and general fodder , without combining as soon as i get them...which is obvious not that good (i'd preffer to keep some fodders and some spirits for a later time). It also happens that i actually need a good duelist on 1 of my accounts , and a barbarian with a skill that gives 100% attack and 100% defense on top of their already high base hp looks like a pretty good prospect.
