Just yesterday, I added the legendary Archon Elowen Sylphie from the Conclave Arcana set to my deck, and today I played my first battle with her. I provided detailed information about this Archon in yesterday's post, so you can read that as well.
Regarding this battle, choosing this 7-mana cost Archon with only 27 mana available wasn't an easy decision. Initially, I chose Kaylia Silverleaf, but then I remembered that her bloodline cards didn't have very good health or other stats. So, even in a low-mana battle, I decided it was better to choose Elowen Sylphie. However, after using 7 mana on the Archon out of the 27 available, I only had 20 mana left. With that, I could either choose fewer but stronger cards or more but slightly weaker cards. I opted for the first option and chose two heavy tanks along with another melee card (all three from the same Archon's bloodline) so that the Archon's bloodline powers would benefit all the cards in the team. Above, you can see the scene after the power distribution by the Archon.
In the two screenshots above, you can see how my tank was first knocked out by the enemy's heavy magic attacks, and then, thanks to the Resurgence ability, it reappeared and dealt 1 physical damage to every card on the battlefield. This damage obviously affected both the enemy's and my own cards, but the Resurgence ability allowed this card to reappear with all of its 100% stats after being knocked out, which is enough to deliver a significant blow to the enemy in the game. And imagine having two cards with this ability thanks to this legendary Archon!🔥
However, that card was knocked out again because the enemy's abilities had also impacted my cards' speed, reducing it by -1, giving the enemy the chance to attack first. But my second line of defense was also equipped with the Resurgence ability, as well as the Trample ability. So, when it was my turn to attack, as soon as I knocked out the enemy's card, the Trample ability activated, and my Grey Pallus performed an equally powerful attack on the enemy's next card with the same force, the impact of which you can see in the screenshots above.
In reality, it was these two abilities – Resurgence and Trample – that ultimately secured my victory in this battle, a victory that seemed unimaginable after the first round. Not only did the enemy outnumber me, but they also possessed superior attack power, including magical abilities, and, above all, the way they decimated my cards in the first round made it seem impossible that I could win this battle. But all of this was possible because I had a Conclave Arcana Legendary Archon and my strategic understanding.🔥
