It's Just Little Ol' Me, Underdog
In my favorite Battle Of The Day today my gold level team faced an opposing team that was all max level cards. Fighting my way up the ranking ladder all season long means that as I get into the higher levels I'm often the underdog in these battles. I don't mind especially when the battle ends up as this one did.
At the start of the match both teams rained down attacks on the opposing tanks. The tanks didn't stand a chance with all that firepower targeting them and both were gone before the end of the round.
Round 2 started with Fineas Rage striking quickly to take out the opposing Skeleton Assassin. A little healing from the Beetle Queen and Fineas was as good as new. That's when the cracks started showing in my opponents battle plan. His Twisted Jester did what twisted jesters do and continuously sniped my secondary. This took some of the pressure off my Fineas Rage and allowed him to survive the round.
As Round 3 began, Fineas succumbed to the poison he was inflicted with in Round 2, but he had done his job well and protected my ranged attackers. Sleep well Fineas you've earned a rest until you are summoned again. Once more the Twisted Jester attempted to Snipe my Fire Elemental, but missed the faster monster and a chance to at least reach a stalemate. My Ettin sealed the matches fate by striking down my opponents Dark Astronomer.
Even though Round 4 started with my Ettin expiring from poison, I still had the advantage since the Twisted Jester was no longer able to attack. And while it would take two more round before I could finish it off, Victory was mine!
Victory was mine!

Hulk Smash
Someday I hope there is a Hulk like monster in Splinterlands. Or better yet, when Splinterlands reaches $10 Billion market cap, maybe Disney will approach @aggroed about licensing the entire Marvel Universe as a Booster pack set. Marvel vs. Chaos Legion! We could even stream tournaments on Disney+.
Interesting battle- you and your opponent had identical number of melee, magic and ranged monsters.
Didn't notice that until you mentioned it. But now that you did, I noticed that all positions also had identical type and power of attack except for the magic attack.
Fineas Rage is awesome cards... good combination of melee attack and speed...

And lots of health. He's a great second tank.
I can't imagine playing in the higher leagues. I'm still kinda new to this game and I have a difficult time defeating my opponents who have higher-level cards.
Great win btw! You owned your opponent hehe
Experience definitely helps. But then so does luck. One well timed miss can change the outcome of a match.
That's really true. I can relate with the luck and misses I happened to lose a lot of battles because of a miss.
