Hello to all and welcome to this weeks Battle Challenge. Again our theme is Dragons. I'm still fairly new at this, so my deck doesn't contain too many Dragon cards. So I elected a fairly easy one to come by. My dragon challenge will be looking at "Twilight Basilisk".
This card starts off with the "Reach" ability. This ability will allow the card to attack from the second position in the lineup, even though it is a melee attack.

In my battle it was more of a benefit that this card has such high speed. If you watch my battle link you'll see the enemy set a non-attacking unit up front. Followed by the intended tank, a melee attacker. Hoping that I would catch damage from the "Reflect" ability of the non-attacking unit. However, this only made the enemies fastest card have to wait out the first round. And luckily nobody in my team was using magic, therefore the "Reflect" ability helped with nothing. You'll have to watch closely at the sequence of attacks, noting what cards turn is next based on their speed and you'll see why it plays such a big difference in the match. I'm not going to type out a play by play of the entire match, so take the time to follow my link and see how everything unfolds. The "Twilight Basilisk" is a great secondary hit to back up your tank. Thanks for reading my post, all upvotes and follows will be returned with the same support.
Don't forget the link, watch the Battle unfold.
