The rewards in this season have not been bad at all, logically I have not obtained anything that cost even 10$, but unlike past seasons, at least in general this season for me has been better in rewards, they have been a little more balanced and more satisfactory. Anyway, a new week and a new Splinterlands challenge, this time using the card: Djinn Apprentice, which is a card that I really do not like very much and I have not used it much in my battles, in fact, I almost do not use the FIRE deck because of all my collection is my worst deck. Also, to be able to complete the battles using that card was a bit difficult to achieve, since, besides the game itself has become more competitive, also the RNG of Splinterlands is something quite disgusting, but that's another topic. These are the battles using Djinn Apprentice:
In this first battle I had at my disposal to use 25 mana points, so it was a quite acceptable range to be able to place good cards in formation, therefore a greater possibility of using cards and this was my formation: In first position, I placed a card that if I remember correctly some time ago I had it in LVL 3 in my collection, but at some point I sold it, since some years ago I sold all my FIRE deck because I didn't use it, I never really liked that deck, but anyway, in first position I placed: Living Magma, a very good defensive card, perfect to place it in first position, although it has very little speed, just 1 point of speed. Due to that low speed in second position I placed a card that will help a little those cards with few points of speed, a card with the ability "Swiftness" and that card is, of course, the classic: Spirit Miner, a card that I use a lot in my strategies. In third position is the protagonist card of this week's challenge: Djinn Apprentice, a Magic attack card, which despite not being in my favorite cards, in fact, I don't even like this card, I have to admit that it has decent Stats. In fourth position, a card with the "Sneak" ability that I also use a lot in my strategies (I think I should update my gameplay), that card is: Uraeus. And in last position, a classic of classics: Furious Chicken.
This second battle is the proof that many times it is not worth that your formation is 100% integrated with legendary cards, that a good formation and also some luck makes the difference. At first I thought I was going to lose this battle, but a few seconds after starting the battle and seeing how my cards developed, I realized that my victory was assured. As in the first battle, in the first positions I used the same strategy: Living Magma in first position, Spirit Miner in second position and the main card of the challenge: Djinn Apprentice in third position, exactly like the previous battle, but the following cards in formation are different: I thought of using cards with the ability "Snipe", because I assumed that they would be very useful and so it was, those cards are: Lava Spider in fourth position and Centaur in penultimate position. While: Chaos Agent occupies the last position since I had 2 mana points left over and I didn't have many options to use, so I used that card.
