Hello @splinterlands community's friends. How are you all? Hope you are doing well. Today I am here with a review of Withered Old Sage, an amazing Rare monster from Fire Splinter. This 6 mana cost Drakoshan card can turn the tide of any battle with its powerful magic attack and some amazing abilities. In today's post, I will briefly outline the evolution of this card's status from level 1 to 8 and its effectiveness on the battlefield. Let's get started.

Withered Old Sage is one of the most powerful rare fire monster cards in the Conclave Arcana Edition of Splinterlands, known for its Draconian bloodline. If you want to strengthen and consolidate your fire deck with magic attacks, I think this 6 mana cost card can be a great addition to your lineup. Looking at the base stats of the card at level 1, it has 2 magic attack, 2 speed, 1 armor, and 2 health, which makes it quite balanced at the beginning, and its magic attack can directly bypass the enemy's armor and hit health. The biggest advantage is that it comes with the Void ability from the first level, which greatly reduces any magic damage it receives and makes it an excellent defensive option against magic-dependent opponents.

As the card is upgraded or leveled up, its effectiveness and usefulness increase manifold. For example, when it reaches level 4, its magic attack increases to 3 and its health becomes 3. When the card is upgraded to level 6 with a combination of 11 cards, its armor increases to 2 and it unlocks a very important second ability or Weaken Ability. This ability reduces the health of all enemy monsters by 1 as soon as it enters the battlefield, making it easier for your entire team to defeat the opponent quickly. Finally, when the maximum level 8 is combined with 22 cards, it takes on a monstrous form of 3 magic attack, 4 speed, 3 armor and 5 health, as well as gaining the Amplify Ability. This special ability further increases the damage of counter attacks such as Magic Reflect Thorns and Return Fire on your team.

Overall, Withered Old Sage not only deals good damage on its own, but its combination abilities greatly increase the chances of the entire fire squad winning. So, using this card correctly to surprise your opponent in high mana or magic ruleset matches will greatly advance your gameplay.
