Hello Splinters, I'm Lagnarok, Welcome to my Weekly Battle Challenge. The latest competition is too brutal with Black Pearls Technology involved, so to avoid it, Death Faction and Dragon Faction decided to ban the usage of Gun Powder in their upcoming Weekly Faction War. They have decided to uphold the Up Close & Personal rule, in which only monsters with melee attacks are able to join the battles.
The Story of Agor Longtail
Twice each year, on the equinox, a host of Dragonborn visits the lair of Agor to pay homage to her. They bring tributes, and Agor offers wisdom—a small fraction of her eternal knowledge. On the summer solstice, she leaves the comfort of her mountainous lair and takes to the skies, raining death upon any who have dared to wrong her disciples. On the winter solstice, she visits the Suam, leader of the naga and the Gloridax, to offer counsel regarding governance, economics, the military, and other matters of state. There is no mistaking, however, that Agor could destroy the Grand Consul of the Gloridax with one flaming breath if she so chose. After the Chaos Legion’s invasion, most dragonborn gave up their pilgrimage to Agor and those who attempted it were killed. At first, Agor thought they had forsaken her, and the great dragon fell into a dark brooding. She became angry with herself for letting these simple mortals affect her. She was a dragon, and they were insects—insignificant snippets of life that meant nothing.
Agor Longtail the Cunning Dragon
The Battle happened within A Wild Silver League in a Ranked Match battle. The battle between Death and Dragon Faction will happen this week, and Both Faction decided to hold this time Weekly Faction War only for monsters with a melee attack or Up Close & Personal Ruleset with 56 mana allocation and witnessed by a Fire Faction representative.
With 56 Mana caps, I decided to use Dragon Splinter, which has very powerful Monsters but consumes a good amount of mana mostly, and with my Strategy, both Agor Longtail and War Chaang will be Star tonight.

Battle Preparation & Strategy
| Card | Ability | Plans |
|---|---|---|
| +2 Speed, True Strike, Tank Heal | Byzantine Kitty is a Legendary Summoner from the Untamed expansion pack. With a +2 Speed buff from Kitty, all my monsters will be speedy, and with this, the first round should be opened by my team. I hope my monsters are able to kill some of the enemy's monsters. | |
| Taunt, Dodge, Phase | Coeurl Lurker is a Legendary Monster from the Riftwatcher expansion pack; Coeurl Lurker has Taunt ability; with this, Coeurl Lurker will be everyone's targets but combined with Dodge, high-speed status, and Tank Heal, the enemy will have a hard time to kill this Sly Fox. | |
| Reach, Double Strike | Carnage Titan is a Legendary Monster from the Chaos Legion expansion pack. Carnage Titan has the greatest damage for a monster that could strike the enemy from the second position with Reach Ability. I hope to sweep the enemy Main Tank in 1 turn with this beast. | |
| Slow | Creeping Ooze is a Common Monster from the Reward Series. Creeping Ooze's Slow Ability will hold the enemy's ankle, which makes the enemy's speed drop by 1 point. | |
| Sneak, Double Strike | Dhampir Infiltrator is a Rare Monster from the Reward Series. Actually, I have plenty of monsters with sneak abilities. Still, Dhampir Infiltrator is the best Low Mana monster because it's Double Strike, and with Carnage Titan there, I have scored so many chances to attack the enemy. | |
| Retaliate | War Chaang is an Epic Monster from the Untamed expansion pack. I decided to put this War Elephant on the backline because it could strike the enemy far away with its ranged-type attack. War Chaang has 2 kinds types of attacks: Melee and Ranged-type. | |
| Flying, Taunt, Void Armor | Agor Longtail is a Legendary Monster from the Riftwatcher expansion pack. The reason is pretty similar to the usage of War Chaang. Agor Longtail has 2 kinds types of attacks: Melee and Magic-type. With Agor Longtail present, it could attack enemies from far away without touching them. |

A Single Piece of Video is worth more than a thousand words.
Did My Strategy Work?
Fortunately, My Strategy Works with minimal margin. The unexpected enemy would be using double Demoralized Ability in most of my monster's attacks, being neutralized by his Shield. While Coeurl Lurker showed astonishing performance in avoiding and dodging so many incoming attacks, Agor Longtail took care of the enemy one by one with his magic-type attack.
