Hello again, my coffee loving friends. Starting today, I'll be focusing solely on Wild instead of Modern and Wild Ranked. I was really bummed out of the recent news from Splinterlands that they were planning to remove the Untamed from Modern. I love the cards from Untamed specifically Yodin Zaku and Scarred Llama Mage. Those two summoners saved me a lot so if they would remove it from Modern, then it would be better to move on from Modern Ranked Myself.
Doing this expanded my wings a lot. I never realized that there's a lot of strong units from the previous set. I've taken a special liking to The Kraken, Crustaceean King, Wood Nymph and Creeping Ooze and started using Taunt-based strategies so you may see a lot of these in the future.
Right now, if you visit my Splinterlands profile, I'm spamming The Kraken like crazy and even got to Silver. Once I got the rewards for my post later, I will be using the same strategy with Life and Earth using Shieldbearer and Mycelic Slipspawn. I've thought of really strong ideas with these and even found FOUR units that can Tank Heal for Earth. If given the opportunity, I might even try Agor Longtooth but I had bad memories when I used him before so I hope there would be a change since I have more cards to support.
There's still a lot of problems here and there so once I finalized them, I'll probably start doing a more serious run in Silver Wild Ranked and planning to go try Gold soon. For now, the plan is to see how my new strategies would fare against Silver but seeing the leaderboards, I have a feeling that I can get a pretty high rank there.

STRATEGY
Use The Kraken's Taunt to redirect all the attacks to him while having units with Tank Heal his armor. Possibilus the Wise is added for two reasons: the +2 health in order to increase the Tank Heals and Trample for The Kraken's high attack to infinitely trigger with Stampede rule set.
Alternative Strategy: In Silver, you can also use Rexxe level 4, Undead Rexx level 5 and Desert Dragon level 1 to fully abuse the Stampede rule set if Water cannot be used during Stampede rule set.

In this battle, I used the summoner, Possibilus the Wise, and units, The Kraken, Venator Kinjo, Furious Chicken, and Crustacean King. .
