Hi SplinterMates,
This is for the first time, I'm taking part in the Weekly Challenge Post under the theme SPARK PIXIE for the Amazing Gaming Platform Splinterlands.
I've been playing the game since November 2018 and since then have been a great fan of the game. I've been playing the game daily without fail and have been collecting various reward cards by completing the daily quest. Also have been buying cards from the monstersmarket as and when required.
Lately, due to the hardfork of STEEM and the emergence of HIVE Blockchain, I was able to get a long time awaited cards at a cheaper price. Some of them being from the Water & Dragon Splinters. I picked up - "Rulers of the Sea" so that I could reach Level 3 of the card and on the other hand, I was able to Max the level of the card - "Lightning Dragon" to get its blast ability as well along with other powers.
Coming back to the main topic of the Weekly Challenge and this time the theme being SPARK PIXIES; sadly in my collection of cards I've Spark Pixies at Level - 1 but still I somehow managed to give a tough fight to my opponent at the Champion III League. Battles at the Champion League really gets difficult as both the parties have a strong collection of cards and to WIN battle you definitely need to have a strategy by placing the cards at their right position. So before we get into my line up and the strategy I played with here are few pointers to keep in mind when you battle with having SPARK PIXIES.
====================={{{{{{{{{{}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}=====================
As, I mentioned earlier that when you are in the Champion League - It really gets difficult as both the parties have very strong cards. Keeping these things in mind you need to place cards in their right position. So without any further delay, I'll share my Line up cards. The battle was of 13 Mana and the Rule was - Monsters lose all the abilities along with Close Range.
Furious Chicken to Go First - Since I thought the opponent would definitely place a stronger card at the front. And unfortunately, he did fall into my trap. Frankly, in my previous battles, I have also been fallen prey to the Furious Chicken being placed first in the battle.. LOL
Serpent of the Flame was placed second - I was totally relying on the flame in this battle because of its protection and high-speed power to give a chance to attack first.
SPARK PIXIE Finally gave me the win by attacking up close in the battle rule. Had this rule of Up close not been there I would have lost the battle. So it's right to be said that SPARK PIXIE high-speed ability makes it a perfect card to play on with when you have the battle rule as Up Close.
Foremost, I loved playing the game and especially when the battle is with having the Fire Summoner. Yes, my strategy did work at times but when facing an extremely strong opponent who has cards at the MAX level the strategy didn't work. The times it worked out are mainly due to the support of healing ability of Beetle Queen my favorite at level 5.
Overall I was happy with my strategy of placing SPARK PIXIE towards the end line to gain the maximum benefit that I could get out from a level 1 card.
Frankly speaking, since I do not have this card at a higher level, which means that I'm not able to leverage SPARK PIXIES Spun ability which is at level 5, so I do not use it so often. Though, I'm planning to increase the level of the card as I get the opportunity. The thing is that I normally do not trade cards and prefer to keep all the cards I get and mainly use DEC or STEEM to buy new cards. So in near future, I do plan to raise the level of SPARK PIXIES in my card collection.
