Head on with Dragons

For this weeks battle share, let's see how a full deck (well, kinda) of Dragons holds up against a death team.

For this week's challenge i used the following scaled friends in my Silver league battle...

These are the battle rules for this battle:

• 56 Mana cap
• Reverse Speed: With an average speed of 3 and their high stats, dragons can be used here. If it where a lower capped mana game, i should've used some "slower" cards.
• Melee Mayhem: Because melee monsters can attack from any position, this is a great rule-set to unleash all of their power.

So, after these rules, here are my contenders:

Drake of Arnak

The well known summoner which is in the basic deck. Granting an additional 1 defense to all monsters.

Djinn Chwala

Also in the starter deck, this great tank can be found. Due to the Thorns, this is a great tank to tank out those pesky melee attackers.

Carrion Shade

The flying bird of Death. I use this all the time. Because of it's low mana costs and flying a great filler card the give some space for the remaining monsters

Carnage Titan

This great 2nd place titan deserves a spot on your team playing in high mana battles. With it's high defense and health, and reach in combination with double strike it can really deal a blow to your opponents team.

Reach & Double Strike	11 mana cost

Robo-Dragon Knight

This card is a great tank due to it's stats even against magic teams. But because of this battle's rule-set Melee Mayhem and 56 mana to spend, i used it behind the Carnage Titan to due some damage.

Desert Dragon

Another great tank which can stand up against waters Diemonshark. With it's high attack and trample, it can really take out several opponents at once

Chaos Dragon

The final dragon from this battle, the mighty Chaos Dragon. This is a great closer card, but it will only fit the high mana cap games.

Link to the full battle

Did my line-up work?

As you can see in the replay, that despite my attacks got lowered by the Desintegrators Demoralize and Deaths lowering of magic, the dragons managed to wipe out the team in 3 rounds.

So for this particular rule-set i think the setup was great. But if it were just normal rules, i would changed the position of the carnage titan to second place, replace the robo-dragon knight and the desert dragon for something like the void dragon and the dragon jumper.

Would you these cards it again?

Yes, despite that they all have there own use-case, for this rule-set and mana cap they work perfectly together.
