This week's battle challenge card is the Sand Worm, a 9 mana hard-hitting sneak-attacking beast. It is a Reward edition card that I think is an essential card to have in their deck. Even with high mana, it is sometimes worth it put behind a single tank and let it wreak havoc in the backline of your opponent. I believe it is still in print.
My deck:
Torhilo the Frozen: tank
Captain's Ghost: beefy HP magic card with Affliction and Oppress ability
Sand Worm: the STAR of the show! I placed in third position instead of last so that it is less vulnerable to enemy sneak attacks
Mermaid Healer: backline healing
Poseidon: heavy hitting ranged attack tank
Sniping Narwhal: snipe, probably should have switched with Poseidon
Enemy Deck:
Almo Cambio: tank
Haunted Spirit: a hefty healing melee attacker
Undead Rexx: strong melee, but won't be able to attack until it is on the frontline
Sand Worm: they also placed their Sand Worm in their back middle position
Ancient Lich: slow magic caster with Life Leech ability
Magi Sphinx: another strong magic caster
Right off the bat, my Bortus summoner reduces the strength of my opponent's magic attack. In combination with Torhilo's Void shield ability he's only taking 1 damage per hit.
Then the enemy Sand Worm one-shots my Narwhal...
My Sand Worm returns the favor and wipes out their Sphinx.
Poseidon takes a blow from their worm. The Captain's Ghost destroys Almo Cambio thanks to his Oppress ability which multiplied his damage by x2 since Almo has no attack!
My worm takes their Lich and it is the beginning of the end for my opponent.
For the final blow, my worm takes his worm.
