Lore from Splinterlands

In the first position of this confrontation, Clay Golem was my main tank, this 6 mana monster has void as an ability, which allowed him to resist quite well to the magic offensive he faced. Adding to that the healing of Venari CrystalSmith, he was able to stand for a while, however, the magic present was enough so he did not resist during the whole battle.

I overcame the earthquake condition by using the Splinter dragon summoner that grants Flying to all monsters, so instead of being an unfavorable condition, it turned out to be a support to my team, since it weakened the rival lines.

In the second position Luminous Eagle was my chosen card, with "Reach" he could attack from his place, although the condition "thorns" on the battlefield, made him lose a lot of life, like Clay Golem, so when it was his turn to be in front he did not last long defending. In the rival field Mycelic Morphoid was the card to defeat, this at level 1 does not have much to offer but if it serves as a mini tank, this managed to give a blow to Clay Golem but fell by the thorns of the battle condition.

For the third position Temporal Master, the protagonist of the week's challenge, was present. With his ability "Recharge", he charges an attack that applies triple the base damage he has. He managed to hit the dangerous Regal Peryton, but it was not enough with his x3 (1x3=3) so he fell later at the hands of Regal Peryton. Regal Peryton also gave the finishing blow to the Clay Golem but was defeated by Venari CrystalSmith.

Thunderbird was my fourth monster in the battle, he has little damage but 4 life points that helped a lot when he was in the first position. In enemy territory, Magi of Chaos, with its boosted power was wreaking havoc on my lines. It is an epic card that should not be underestimated.

In the rear Venari CrystalSmith was my key healer for the victory and Furious Chicken as minitank, but the latter didn't do much, given the lack of opportunists or Sneak carriers.

The complete alineation was:

Curious fact:

The battle almost ended in defeat for me, but thanks to the fact that we had a healer and an epic card with not so low life points, we held on to win.

The phrase that is in the lore of the master of time, seems to be a reference to the movie "Back to the future", when the doctor says: Roads? Where we are going we don't need roads

My opinion:
Personally I don't like the card because of the low life it has, which makes it fall before it can even make an attack, but in conditions like "equalizer", combining it with the splinter dragon summoner that increases the magic power, would cause it to become a destroyer with 6 attack points because of its "recharge" ability. Clearly it is subject to the slowness of recharging its attack but it should not be underestimated for this reason.
