Lore
Diemonsharks travel alone throughout the stars searching for prey and territory. They are fearsome beasts with lightning-fast reflexes. Diemonsharks are extremely territorial and attack any creature that encroaches on their land. The Chaos Legion trains them as transports for equipment. Since they can travel by air, ground, or sea, they are ideally suited for the task.
For my battle, I chose a match with the Equal Opportunity and Up Close & Personal ruleset. Fire, Water, Life and Dragon were open. Mana was capped at 29. Because of this, I thought it was unlikely that my opponent would play magic.
Round 1

I put Diemonshark in the 3rd position so that he would have a good amount of meatshields in front of him and behind him. It looks like my opponent went with a similar lineup, but he doesn't have anyone as chonky as my Diemonshark 😏.
At the end of round 1, my back two monsters are dead. I destroyed the shield on both the Serpent of Eld and Pelacor Bandit. It doesn't look like I accomplished much, but Diemonshark is just about to get started.
Round 2
Diemonshark starts off the round by killing Pelacor Bandit and activating his trample ability. Trample allows a monster to attack a second creature after a kill. In this case, Sabre Shark. This hit removes Sabre Shark's armor. After the dust settles, my opponent is left with 3 monsters. His front two are looking extremely vulnerable without any shield and their health at 3 apiece.
Round 3
Diemonshark lives the dream this round, killing both Demented Shark and Sabre Shark. With the rest of the squad taking my opponent's Deeplurker down to 1 health. I loose my tank, but he did his job. May he rest in peace.
Round 4
Diemonshark ends the match by killing Deeplurker. With 4 out of 5 kills, Diemonshark pats his belly and sighs.
