As of writing Price/BCX vary from $0.22 to $0.30.This card is a Common Chaos Legion Card. It is a good card. I don't see any jump in the price of this card in near future. You can check price yourself in the in-game Market Link.
Anyways Let's get into the battle. Here's the line up :
Bottom right is me
Super Sneak - All melee monsters have sneak ability.
Mana - 20
Splinters Allowed - Water and Earth.
As expected Opponent went melee heavy team and even buffed it's monster using Mylor which provides Thorns to every enemy monsters.
Thankfully I had an mixed team which gave me an advantage. Mycelic Morphoid did it's job and died in one hit from enemy which allowed it to apply it's thorns ability.
My team placement was good so everything was going to plan.
Managed to get rid of Enemy's main damage dealers (Venari Knifer and Supply Runner) in Second round .
Sadly one of main damage dealer (Venari knifer) also died but it did it's job.
Enemy can not win form here because it lacks damge to kill my monster.
Enemy's last damage dealer also died.
Now only Chaos agent is left which should be easily killed in next round.
In first place I placed Mycelic Morphoid which has Thorns ability. I placed it in first place as an soft tank/ Place holder for Regal Peryton. It is a real good card against Melee teams because of the thorns. Also it's a 2 mana card so it's fits well in low mana matches like this one.
In second place we have Regal Peryton. This card was my main damage dealer. I buffed it's stat with Obsidian so now it can do 3 magic damage per turn which is a lot in these kinda matchups. It costs only 5 mana and has High speed with flying ability, good health. So this card is a nightmare for typical slow melee damage cards.
At third place I have Our themed card of the Week Xenith Archer. I placed it here cause i wanted to protect it a bit from sneak attacks. This is a good card in low mana matches. It's archery damage makes it a effective against Monsters with Thorns ability. For a 2 mana this card has good enough stats.
At fourth position we have Acid Shooter. I chose this card because it's low mana with good health and 3 speed. It also has scattershot ability which was a plus point. I placed it here because I didnt want it at last plce because Super sneak ruleset.
At fifth place we have Venari Knifer. This card is very good in this ruleset because of it's thorns ability. Just place it at last place enemy melee monsters will kill themselves by attacking it. This was one of the key cards in this line up along with Regal peryton.
Did your strategy work? What will you try differently next time?
Yep it did work out fine this time. Well that will depends on Ruleset
Do you like the (monster)? Why or why not?
This is a good card in my opinion. In certain ruleset or when paired with Suitable summoners like General Sloan this card becomes very good. It has low mana cost as well. Tho it lacks ability but you can not get everything in one card. It is more of a support card than a carry card and does it's job well. Also it's an neutral card which makes it worth to buy and max it out for your current league because of it's versatility.
