It has been an exciting week so far! BTC crossing 50k has sparked a new hope for crypto realm. Even though this price surge was expected but it is even more merrier to watch it go live! Well, another day and the grinding goes on! I participated in a tournament in Splinterlands and so far I was able to reserve a winning list. Not among the top but it was great to win something with playing the OG players!
I was honestly looking for a sweet post in the tournament. But as it seems with all the players who are packed up with monstrous cards it is literally difficult to come in front of them. As these players have literally dedicated their time in this game and they have created a standard for themselves. Which is they have made a significant play ground for themselves. Without much of an approach it is quite difficult to handle them in the battle field. And I must say, their dedication is serving them well. I literally want to reach that standard myself. Although, it will require much more time and effort and investment to reach to that certain level. Let me keep on walking and see where it takes me. Lets move on to the battle field for the day!
Healed outEqual opportunityTaking sidesWith the above rules and 22 mana I came up with the most efficient set of my Splinter. Death Splinter! Since it was only 22 mana I wanted to give the best line up of my grasp. I wanted speed, ranged and magic attacks in my line up. Which I got from the game.
With my line up, I wanted Cursed Windeku as tank. As it has 11 health and also Thorns ability would come in real handy. Which it did within the game. That being said, I wanted a monsters which can tackle the second position even if my tank gets taken out in the battle field. Which is why Shadow snicth with 7 health and reach ability. Also not to forget it has 3 melee attack to hit the enemy in each round. Corpse Fiend was to follow after Shadow snitch. As with 0 mana, I wanted it to take the third position. As this was a sweet spot from both frond and back side. As I was expecting magic attach from my enemy and this card would act as a perfect decoy. Sine its ability is to reduce magic attack by 1. But seems like my intention was not well served after all. As my opponent was thinking other wise due to the opportunity rule set.
Well, now that I am in the last side of my line up, I wanted to make some health damage to my opponent. Which is why, I came up with Life sapper in my line up. With 2 magic attack, life leech and redemption ability she seemed perfect for me in the line up. Now some ranged attack damage. Soul strangler with 4 range attack and poison ability sounds pretty good to me. And in last Weirding warrior with 2 range attack and few other abilities as well. Shatter is one of them and following rust ability which will reduce the armor of opponent by 2. Which was quite helpful for me in the battle.
Speed is a crucial aspect in a battle! In addition, every card used in this sort of rule set where opportunity is one of them, better to have cards which will have an impact even if they die (redemption, poison etc). Well, it was an exciting battle to watch.
