It all started when I was challenged with a Rule set of 13 Mana. With such constraint as it may be, you can either only use one big mana card or few small ones because your summoner already takes away a minimum of 3. In this battle, mine was 4 leaving me with 9.

The summoner I used is known as FernHert of the Earth Splinter, it is a Riftwatcher set and it gives an extra life to friendly monsters and costs $38 at this time with a CP of 2500 for the gold foil. Not a bad summoner at all if you ask me.
Based on the fact that I’ve been challenged with similar rule sets in the past, I could imaginatively anticipate the move that is most likely to counter my opponent’s move even before seeing the opponent’s card. And what exactly did I do?
I filled the first two slots by placing my two 0 mana cards in them, the ever handy chicken and the Fungus Fiend legendary card, then I followed it by putting a 1 mana card which was the Creeping Ooze, intentionally!…
….My intention was that the Creeping Ooze will help slow down the opponent’s cards however powerful they may be. The idea is to make every move with the mind of gaining an upper hand and the interesting thing is that you don’t have all the time in the world to make your choice lol.
So my final blow was this Goblin Psychic monster with a tank heal and two damage points, quite famous around Earth Splinter, I conveniently took my opponent out based on experience. If you don’t play a lot or get your ass kicked often, you might not get some strategies that improves one’s chances at winning.
That was what this game was about for me today. Sometimes in life, winning comes through experience, one important factor that can give anyone a competitive advantage in life is experience. Google announced that they would be running Solana validator nodes sometime last week, many people jumped at SOL to buy it, but experience has thought others that such news are not a buy signal as the price of Solana tanked afterwards following FTX crash. Also, experience has thought many to be weary of CEX’s and they easily avoided being caught up in the web of FTX’s destruction. Experience really is a great teacher.
Thanks for reading. Battle till you drop!
