A little bit of Dragon, a little bit of Death

It has been a while since I've joined the fun on the SHARE YOUR BATTLE weekly challenge! More often than not, I don't have the featured cards, but this week's theme made it easy:DRAGONS!

Buying a maxed Selenia Sky was one of my best in-game decisions (the only dumb thing was not going for the alpha version, that only costed around 20$ more than this beta version). Dragons are a pretty versatile bunch, and the +1 ranged from Selenia is one of my favourite picks for playing dragon mode.

In this battle, I paired them with a Splinter I don't usually play, but does wonders when debuffs fit the ruleset: DEATH Splinter.

Rulesets:

• Fog of War: monsters lose the sneak and snipe abilities

• Lost Magic: monsters with magical attacks can't be used

Strategy:

In a lost magic ruleset, armor and ranged units are even more important. Using opportunity monsters is also a great way to target those weaker units, bypassing the fog of war rule! So I chose a couple of opportunity monsters, a very strong tank and some support and firepower to finish the lineup:

• Selenia Sky as the summoner, for the +1 ranged

• Harklaw as my tank: the shield ability provided
  extra resistance in these rulesets, and demoralise was also handy to reduce the melee damage.

• The Vigilator as my offtank: attacking with ranged and poison from second position, and ready to attack with melee + thorns in case Harklaw would fall

• Scale Doctor as my main supporter: getting rid of the opponent's armour, repairing my own armor, and triage in case my opponent caused some damage to the backrow, made it an essencial card here.

Next, two Opportunity damage dealers:

• Dragon Jumper: very fast card, and powerful melee attack

• Lira the Dark: also very fast card, powerful ranged (even more with the Selenia buff), and increased speed for the rest of the team

And to close the lineup,

• Octopider: another good ranged damage dealer, and with with added bonus of demoralise, that stacked with Harklaw's one, and blind, for an increased change of dodging enemy attacks.

Battle time!

When I saw Yodin in the opposite team, I thougt my chances were low; but seeing some slow cards in the lineup, I hoped my team's speed would give me an edge.

Speed made Lira finish Spark Pixies before he had a chance to strike; and at he beginning of round 2, she also landed the killing blow in my opponent's tank.

The Scale Doctor was able to keep the Vigilator alive with the triage, although only one HP remaining, and restoring Harkaw's armor was also crucial. Cornealus managed to kill the Vigilator with the return fire ability on this round.

But the opportunity cards did their jobs well, and in the 4th round, when Cornealus fell, the card that replaced it only had 1 HP left. With only Cyclops left in the first position, the battle was won!

A fun battle, against one of the best summoners in the game, which made it an even sweeter victory.
