I'm calling this my "Zombie Dragon" build because of how Agor Longtail comes back to life again and again like a zombie. It doesn't have anything to do with the Death team and I think the naming fits the very essence of this combo.
Camila Sungazer
A blind summoner whose powers either came from being stupid or her genius-level bloodline. Some say that her powers came from staring at the sun which is the reason for her blindness but no one really knows if it's the truth.

Agor Longtail
From the mountains of Dragon's Roost, dragonborns speak of her name, all the species afraid of her. The embodiment of might and magic, the biggest red dragon of all. Her name is Agor Longtail.
Twice a year, on the equinox, host of dragonborns pay Agor a visit to offer tribute in exchange of her knowledge. However, after the invasion of Chaos Legion, most dragonborns gave up providing the tribute to Agor. Agor thought the dragonborns forsaken her. What she didn't know that this was not voluntary. Most dragonborns who attempted to do so were killed.
Upon learning of the matter, Agor Longtail left her mountains and what she discovered broke her heart. Her previous disciples, now without life, murdered by the Chaos Legion. All Agor can do upon realizing this is letting out a roar that split the heavens in two.

Camila Sungazer is, in my opinion, undoubtedly the most useful summoner in the game. She may not be most powerful but still is the most useful. If you can't use her -1 melee ability, for sure you can use the extra mana she gave for being a 3 mana summoner while being a legendary summoner at that.
That's reflected in her price. While at level 1, you can earn yourself a juicy Camila Sungazer for only $22, this is enough to get you max level in Bronze. If you're playing higher, you might want to invest and get the $65.34 for a level 2 which is enough for a max Silver or the bare minimum to not receive a win penalty for a Gold match.

In case you don't have the sufficient funds, don't worry. Camila Sungazer is also one of the cheapest summoner to rent. This is what I don't understand why. Since Camila is a dragon summoner, you can use her as a substitute summoner for other elements as long as the rule sets allow you to do so. That means, if you have level 1 Camila Sungazer, you can use that level 3 water commons you got from rewards.
You can rent her for as cheap as 1 DEC per day. I'm currently renting a level 2 for 16.303 to use max monsters in Silver. Really good rent to be on hand at all times.

Agor Longtail is one of the newest legendary monsters released in the Chaos Legion series. He's not really that expensive sitting at $24.67 for a level 1 but still pricier than most.

ππ₯π¬π±π¬ π£π―π¬πͺ πͺπΆ πππ©π¦π«π±π’π―π©ππ«π‘π° ππ π π¬π²π«π±.
You can rent Agor for 5.71 a day at the moment. What's good is that this card already has three abilities at level 1. At level 2, no new abilities are unlocked but extra 2 health was given for the level up. Because of this, I would say that renting a level 2 is no different than renting a level 1 unless you're doing the healing build in which you spam Tank Heals to support Agor Longtail as your main tank. But if you will be doing something close to mine, a level 1 is sufficient.

I'm currently using Camila Sungazer because it's one of the cheapest with a wide range of usefulness. In other words, it's simply a generic dragon summoner for me and is not really required for the combo. You can change her to what's available.
Probably the main reason why I use her is because of her being a cheaper legendary summoner with only 3 mana cost. Since the other monsters require lots of mana, having a lower mana cost summoner allows me to get the full lineup more consistently.
I categorize Summoner Abilities in 2 types, inherent and non-inherent abilities. Inherent summoner abilities gives all of your monsters with that ability. Non-inherent summoner abilities does not give monsters extra abilities but is used by your summoner itself to the monsters on the board.
-1 Melee. Camila Sungazer doesn't possess any special traits. She gives -1 melee damage to all opponents.
Stats | Agor Longtail
ππ₯π¬π±π¬ π£π―π¬πͺ πͺπΆ πππ©π¦π«π±π’π―π©ππ«π‘π° ππ π π¬π²π«π±.
Agor Longtail is a dual damage type monster meaning she has 2 damage types and both can be used as long as the targeting condition is fulfilled. Since she has melee and magic, if Agor Longtail is in first position, she can attack with both on her turn since magic damage can also be used in first position.
Agor Longtail has 3 melee and 2 magic damage. She has 11 health and 6 armor which is increased to 13 health at level 2. Since the level 2 only increases health, it's not really required for this combo and a level 1 is sufficient if the level 2 costs a lot.
At level 1, Flying, Taunt and Void Armor are unlocked.
Flying gives 15% extra dodge to against enemies with non-flying opponents. It also negates any damage from Earthquake rule of combat.
Monsters with Taunt ability redirects all the attack target to it with the exception of Scattershot which changes the target to a random monster on opposite side. Taunt technically negates other targetting abilities such as Snipe, Sneak, and Opportunity. Range and Magic damage type also changes the target to monster with Taunt ability.
Monsters with Void Armor can use her health to block opponent's magic damage. When a monster with magic damage attacks a monster with Void Armor, it would reduce the armor first before reducing the health.
At level 3, Heal is unlocked. Heal restores a third of the monster's max health at the start of her turn. Agor can have a max base health of 14 at max level which grants him 4 Heal every start of her turn.

I don't know if it's only on my end or a visual bug. When Agor Longtail is resurrected, she should get another layer of Divine Shield due to the rule of combat.
It doesn't display the buff on top of Agor Longtail but when Venari Crystalsmith hit Agor Longtail, the damage was 0 meaning the damage was negated and the Divine Shield activated.

π«π πππ ππππ The Zombie Dragon build ? πΎππ ππ πΎππ πππ?
Yes, a lot. This is probably my best build after the 30 mana Kraken build. Also, this is a very expensive build. It's probably around 50-80 DEC per day to get this build but it's really worth it. It has a lot of pros than the traditional Taunt/Repair/Tank Heal build. One major weakness of this build is probably Shatter so Immortalis kills this build. However, let's not kid ourselves. Who uses shatter nowadays?
Another advantage, and probably the biggest one, is that this build works on Healed Out Rule of Combat. Since you're not technically healing Agor Longtail, Repair and Resurrect works and your opponent will have a hard time going past through Agor Longtail's three resurrects and your opponent will probably be down to one or two monsters by the time they break it.
Essentially, this build kind of gives you 9 monsters on the board instead of 6. A lesser shadow of Agor Longtail with 1 health and 6 base armor each.

Summoner: Camila Sungazer: Has a built in Demoralize reducing opponent's melee damage by 1.
- Agor Longtail: Has Taunt, Flying, and Void Armor at level 1. Very good for all kinds of team. The main difference with the Kraken Build is the Void Armor. Kraken can get bursted by Magic Damage passing through armor while Agor's Void Armor uses the armor to block the magic damage.
- Oshuur Constantia: A dragon monster with Reflection Shield and Resurrect. Reflection Shield negates damage from Thorns, Blast, Magic Reflect and Return Fire. Resurrect brings the ally monster that dies to life with 1 health and max shield. Works really well with Agor to keep your Tank with Taunt while having Void Shield to just not die again from the magic damage.
- Adelade Brightwing: I use a level 2 which has Flying, Repair and Resurrect. Repair helps in keeping Agor's armor up restoring 2 at the start of Adelade's turn.
- High Priest Darius: Has Resurrect ability for the combo.
- Scavo Hireling: Has Repair to restore Agor's armor at the start of Scavo Hireling's turn.
- Disintegrator: Has Demoralize to reduce opponent's melee by 1 as long as he's alive.
αͺIαͺ YOαα αTαα©TEGY α―OαKEαͺ?
Yes, with flying colors. The main idea is for Agor Longtail to suck up all the damage, do a restart with her armor and Void Armor ability. Every resurrect gives Agor Longtail 1 Health and full armor. The revived ally also gets all the initial buffs from the rule of combat or another ally as if she just joined the start of battle. This means on this battle, every resurrect gives him Divine Shield in addition to the full armor.
Take all that I've explained above and multiply it three times, one per member with resurrect. Another advantage of this is that any negative buffs like poisoned status or Affliction will be remove upon revival.
I believe there's only one build, which I call the, "Super Team," that I've fought with before that may win over this build. However, I have yet to meet them on the battlefield since the last time they slaughtered my Shieldbearer combo.
Lastly, I would say that this combo is very flexible. If Life is not available, you can also use this combo with Water and Earth by using their respective monsters with Resurrect ability. This, unfortunately, decreases the resurrect ability users by 1 leaving you with only 2 resurrect, 1 from the Dragon and 1 from either Earth or Water.
α―αΌα©T α―Iαͺαͺ YOα TαY αͺIα΄α΄EαEαTαͺY αEαT TIα°E?
In this battle, I don't think I would've changed anything since, believe it or not, I'm kind of very limited by the mana cap. This build requires a lot of mana and a little above 50 is actually very limited.
On one of my other battles which I also linked above, I managed to land a 99 mana and built what I think is the best version of this team yet. I did not use it as an example because the opponent is kind of meh. Check it out if you're interested in learning more of my zombie dragon build.
