Theme: Dragons
Edition: ANY
Rarity: ANY
Element: Dragon + ANY
Attack: ANY
Abilities: ANY
It's important to study your battles at the start of the match to figure out what cards you may want to play. In this case I had the following.
Earthquake: Non-flying monsters take 2 Melee damage at the end of each round
Super Sneak: All Melee attack monsters have the sneak ability
In this case I knew I wanted all flying cards or one with healing so I could heal up from the damage the earthquake was going to do. It's a brutal play if you don't add these types of cards to this type of battle. As for the sneak I didn't care too much for it. Sure I could go all melee and attack from the back to front but in this case this battle was all about making sure I had flight first.
The Summoner
Originally I had picked Selena Sky for +1 range damage but ended up not going that path as it's normally my go to. Instead I had two great choices. Either Add flight too all my cards with or add melee damage which is what I went with using summoner Daria Dragonscale. It's not a fully maxed out card but it still does good work for the level it's at.
The Battle Deck
Next we move into the battle deck. Remember I wanted flight for my cards for sure but also maybe some melee in there to take advantage of the +1 melee attack I get from my summoner. Also I wanted to be sure in this battle to use the unique dragon cards I'm able to use now because of using a dragon summoner which is one of the cool perks of dragon.
Melee in the front I went with Dragon Jumper which has flight and Opportunity. Dishing out 3 melee but a bonus of +1 from the summoner meant this front line card could pack a 4 damage and take 6 damage itself.
Next I added in Fire Spitter with 3 range damage and flight. Again that flight for this battle is key!
and last but not least Black Dragon a legendary card while not upgraded very high it packs some huge perks with it! Of course we have flight but we also get Life Leech that allows me to stack it's health as it damages from the back, Slow which reduces the speed of all enemy cards which may help in giving me first strike when needed the most and last Strengthen which increases health across all of my monster cards.
After that I always drop in my 0 mana cards if their's room as a little buffer on the back. In this case I used Scorch Fiend and of course a golden Chicken to get some bonus rewards at the end of the battle. While these don't do much what they do, do for me is block an attack or two from the back in the first round which might give me the advantage.
Results
We came out on top on this one as the enemy didn't account for earthquake and ended up taking nearly 6+ damage from it in itself! Which quickly withered away their HP values along with a few of my hard strike cards.
This gained 6,610 RP and 0.257SPS in battle rewards! We are now one step closer to hitting Gold level reward chests most likely tomorrow.
