Good day gamers! It’s that time of the week again where I share my weekly battle challenge. This weeks theme card is THE DIEMON SHARK. We’re off to the water splint!
Now this is a card I’m not so familiar with but great thing is that the water splint is one of my favorite splints.
THE DIEMON SHARK
The Diemonshark travels alone throughout the stars looking for prey and territory. They are fearsome beasts with lightning-fast reflexes. Diemonsharks are also extremely territorial and tends to attack any creature that encroaches on their land. The Chaos Legion has trained them as transports for equipment. Since they can travel by air, ground, or sea, they are ideally suited for this task.

BATTLE LINK
Below is a link to this battle:
Did your strategy work?
Yes it did. Even though I felt like it wasn’t much of a fight because of my enemy’s weak lineup.
What will you try differently next time?
Nothing actually. I think I had a pretty good lineup and strategy
Do you like Diemon shark?
Yes I do
Why?
This card has good stats. I mean seven health points, six armors, x2 melee attack and x4 speed for just eight mana cost. It doesn’t get better than this.
