Waiting for the platinum priest event ended up getting me an extra 58 platinum tickets once you count all of the "sacrifice generals to get tickets, then sacrifice the generals you get from those tickets to get more" and so forth. That was good for a Lion of Sagama, a Master Strategist, and a few thousand souls.

So now I've got a lot more four star generals to level up, including yet another Takeda Shingen of Kai. Because you can never have too many Takeda Shingen of Kai.
