Hello Hive gaming community! My Splinterlands game continues to progress in a good way. My cards continue to increase and I got two new epic in the Death and Earth element.

⚔️🛡️ New Epic Card: Lenore Nevermore 🛡️⚔️

I have many new cards but one stands out is the new epic card Lenore Nevermore. It's a card that has two attacks and six mana. It has a higher attack than Moros Malik who is also a six mana card with range attack. Lenore will replace Moros in my team.

⚔️🛡️ New Epic Card: Glimmermancer 🛡️⚔️

The other new epic card is Glimmermancer. It's a magic card that has two attacks and six mana. Earth is more on high mana melee units and ranged units. I haven't had a chance to try Glimmermancer yet.

⚔️🛡️ New Guild: Pizza A Slice of Madness 🛡️⚔️

I transferred to a new guild that I found on Splinterlands discord. My new guild is Pizza A Slice of Madness. They are also linked to the other game I play, Moon.

The great thing about my new guild is they allow me to join brawls. The leader assigned me to fray 1 and I have just started my first brawl. It's exciting to join and I'm hoping to not disappoint.

⚔️🛡️ Matches 🛡️⚔️

I will complete this post with some matches I recently played.

⚔️🛡️ 28 Mana 🛡️⚔️

I copied the strategy from an opponent I fought before. This is about using a card's ability more than its attacking power. The star in this match is Scales of Justice. It has no attack but it made me win the match.

Featured Cards

Scales of Justice has no attack. It is fast and has a high chance to dodge attacks. I put it in first position.
Spellmonger also no attack. It can do damage if attacked by melee with its Thorns ability.
Ember Roast Sow has one attack for four mana.
Echelon also has one attack for four mana.
Ash Archer has two attack for five mana.

My team is made up of units with low mana so I had five units. My opponent has higher level cards but I had the better strategy and more cards. Scales of Justice dodged attacks many times and Spellmonger took out the opponent's Vengeful Monk.

⚔️🛡️ More Mana Does Not Guarantee a Win 🛡️⚔️

The match has a very high mana of 95. It looks good to put the higher mana cards to maximize the mana usage but it's not so. I learned from losing matches that lower mana cards can be used for better strategy. I have many opponents who use the same strategy and I copied from them.

Featured Cards

Frankarsgard the tank. It has good stats of two attack, armor, eight health and two speed.
Chaos Furybringer is a good partner for Frankarsgard. It can reach and attack from behind.
Great Bear Druid has two attacks of magic and melee.
Lunaki Howler has one magic attack.
Vengeful Monk has two attack and opportunity ability.
Spellmonger no attack but has Thorns.

We have the same cards except that my opponent used New Beluroc Aegis who has eight mana and I used Spellmonger who has only four mana and no attack. My strategy was to defeat the opponent's Vengeful Monk while I keep mine. He will have one less unit that has an attack of two. I did not maximize the mana usage but my strategy (that I copied) won the match.
