This is the 7th edition and in this edition, I'll discuss a Legendary card from the Dragon splinter, the CARNAGE TITAN.
I'll explain the best rulesets to use Carnage Titan effectively.
I'll also share the best battle I fought and won using Carnage Titan as the main card of the team.
So without further ado, let's start.
THE LORE
He was called Holicrai the Magnificent and without doubt, he was the finest Gloridax guardian in the history of the land. He was as feared as some of the dragons that lived on Dragon’s Roost. The people of Draykh-Nahka would sing songs about him, and the ancient scholars would say that the sagas told about him didn’t do him justice. When he passed to the other side, they took his armor and displayed it in the Warrior’s Hall, deep within the Centrum. His bones were laid to rest in the Guardian’s Chapel on the far side of the city, a shrine open to the people so they might pay their respects for all he had done.
It cost Morloth, the crazed tinker, not a single penny to acquire the armor. The Chaos Legion had brought it to him, together with a long, thick bone from the chapel’s tomb – probably the femur he guessed. He didn’t ask them how they’d come by it, and the strange man that conveyed the delivery was most peculiar indeed. He wore a long black coat and top hat, with a bizarre beaked mask and shimmering green amulet about his neck, carrying a lantern that pierced the night. He spoke to himself as much as he did to Morloth, and by the end of their conversation, the tinker wasn’t sure who he was more afraid of, the entire Chaos Legion that had descended upon the land, or this one strange man that was standing before him.
Using the green crystals that he’d fuelled the Disintegrator with, Morloth set to work hammering away at the pieces of armor and fusing parts of the bone to the metal. Night passed into morning, as he sharpened its metal fingers into deadly claws, each one as long as his forearm. Then daylight came and went, the cycle repeating until he had lost complete track of time. He took sips of water from the various flasks that littered his workshop, and when the paltry reserves of food ran out, he chewed upon the green crystals themselves, sucking the energy from them. Partway through his labors, Morloth had to drag his creation from the workshop and set a canvas tent outside to continue, so big was the masterpiece. When it was time to attach the head, he rolled the lump of metal across the ground and fused it to the shoulders. Finally, he started work on the impressive helm that would conceal the giant green crystal that fuelled the creation’s mind and body.
When finished, Morloth collapsed in a state of complete exhaustion. He awoke later to find that his creation was gone. The terrible Carnage Titan had come to life and left him whilst he slept. He never did learn where his golem had gone, but then, nor did he discover how fortunate he was that it didn’t tear him to pieces before it left.
BATTLE STATS AND ABILITIES OF THE CARNAGE TITAN
The Carnage Titan is a Legendary Dragon unit card from the Chaos Legion edition.
This melee attack card costs 11 mana to use in the battle which makes this card a high-mana-cost card.
Talking about the abilities, this monster has some incredible abilities. In levels 1 and 2, it has 'reach', and 'double strike' abilities
The next ability, 'shield' applies in level 3.

The Best Ways To Use Carnage Titan Effectively
Well, this card is a powerful back-row hitter especially useful in melee attack-based battles. The Carnage Titan has good speed and attack power that can destroy the enemy tank in a round or two.
In the high mana cap battles, it is a must-use card along with the Djinn Chwala as a tank.
In the rulesets like 'melee mayhem', 'super sneak', 'up, close and personal', 'equal opportunity', and especially in the 'unprotected' ruleset, the Carnage Titan can be a game changer.
You can further maximize its attack power by using the summoner Daria Dragonscale.
THE BATTLE
RULESET
Mana Cap: 37
Rulesets:
Lost Magic: Monsters with Magic attack may not be used in battles.
Reverse Speed: Monsters with the lowest Speed attack first and have the highest chance of evading attacks.
Active Splinters: Fire, Water, Earth, Dragon.
My Strategy and Team Setup
SUMMONER
Daria Dragonscale
Daria Dragonscale is the perfect summoner for melee attack-based battles as she buffs his allies with a +1 melee attack.
Team Setup
As one of the rulesets was 'lost magic', it was perfect to use the Carnage Titan in this battle. Though I was a bit anxious to use this high-speed monster in the 'reverse speed' ruleset.
Anyway, I used the Terraceous Grunt as a tank because of its 'dodge' ability and a good amount of HP. Next, there's the Carnage Titan, the main attacker of the team.
The Goblin Thief with the sneak ability and the Venari Scout with the 'opportunity' ability was in the third and fourth position respectively.
The Scale Doctor in the fifth position, might be low in attack, but it has two unique abilities 'strengthen' and, 'triage'.
In the last position, there was the Earth Elemental with the 'heal' ability, which was perfect for sneak attacks.
Now that my team is ready, let's charge into the battle.

Analysis Of The Battle And The Key Factors
My summoner and monsters were high levels than the enemy, so that was an advantage. But the enemy monsters were low in speed, so it was his advantage in the 'reverse speed' ruleset.
My team is full of melee attack power and destroyed the enemy team with a few blows.
Carnage Titan did some good damage with his 'double strike'. It was a good strategy that brings home winning.
And that's all for today, guys.
