Friends, who regularly play Splinterlands, you know how exciting the 'Guild Brawl' is for us. After a long wait, our Guild Brawl has finally started. This season, I got the opportunity to participate in a total of 6 battles. But the most exciting thing is that I tasted victory in the first battle I played after the Brawl started. The joy of that moment when I won after my opponent submitted his cards is indescribable. This is a huge achievement for me.
In today's blog, I will share with you what strategies worked behind my victory in that battle, which summoner, and why I chose which cards.
My opponent in this match was YOKIWORLD, who was playing for the 'PeakMonsters Landlubbers' guild. On the other hand, I represent my favorite guild,d YGG Brawlers (NiĆ°avellir). The battlefield was set for 41 Mana, with two rulesets: Super Sneak (all melee cards will attack from behind) and Heavy Hitters (double damage if anyone is stunned).
I chose the powerful summoner of the Dragon element, NIDHOGGR, for this fight. Although this summoner is quite expensive, it has some great advantages. It reduces the armor (-1 Armor) and health (-1 Health) of all the opponent's cards. This was one of my tricks to reduce the opponent's strength early in the 41 Mana match.
On the other hand, my opponent used RAZI CLANKTRAP, whose special ability gives all cards the 'Close Range' advantage. The fight was evenly matched.
I arranged my cards in a way that it could take advantage of the Super Sneak ruleset and also maintain defense. My lineup was as follows:
When the battle started, I was a bit worried because the opponent's cards were also quite strong. But the opponent's health decreased due to the effect of my Summoner Nidhoggr, which made the task easier for me.

First Round: The two sides exchanged intense attacks at the beginning. Due to my 'Demoralize' ability, the opponent's melee attacks were not able to do much damage.
Second Round: The match turned around in this round. My Witch of Warwick started to crush the opponent's cards with her magical attacks. After 'Bloodlust' was activated, she became even more dangerous.
Third Round: The opponent failed to break my defense. One by one, their cards started to leave the field. In the end, my team snatched victory from Akshat.
Winning the first match of the first Brawl gave me a lot of mental confidence. When the big 'VICTORY' appeared on the screen at the end of the battle, I felt that my correct card selection and strategy had paid off. Only 1 out of 6 matches has been completed, and there are still 5 matches left. I hope that I can win the remaining matches by using the same intelligence.
Guild Brawl is not only about winning, but also about learning teamwork and the right strategy. Those of you who play Splinterlands will always select cards by understanding the ruleset and mana cap.
I am sharing screenshots of every moment of my battle with you, so that you can understand my moves better. Your prayers and love are needed so that I can win the remaining matches as well.
