So for this past Guild Brawl, one of our co-leaders for Hive Revolution, 
Now as a person with a small CP (22k natural) and only Level 1 cards, I decided to take up the challenge and try to win as many battles as I can! It was my first time renting out cards to play in the Guild Brawl, and the fray I joined was the Silver League - Untamed Only.
I wasn't really expecting much, since the cards I'll be renting would only be Level 1 (definitely underleved for Silver), but I thought I'd give it a shot anyway. Here's the rental list, for those wondering:
| Card | Rental Cost | Why? |
|---|---|---|
| Magnor | 9.9 DEC/day | Sometimes he can tank the whole enemy team (with the right ruleset) all by himself. |
| Phantom of The Abyss | 17.7 DEC/day | Amazing synergy with both of the summoners above - he's gonna be pretty much un-hittable unless the opponent also has True Strike or Magic damage. |
| Lir Deepswimmer | 9 DEC/day | Anti-Yodin and the Blindness really makes a difference |
| Thunderbird | 0.723 DEC/day | Little League + Earthquake preparations |
| Chanseus the Great | 8.4 DEC/day | His abilities can sustain whole Life teams by himself. |
| Gorlodon | 0.882 DEC/day | Death secondary tank, amazing in Reverse Speed. |
| The Vigilator | 6.283 DEC/day | Just one of my favorite cards to use (along with War Chaang) in rulesets with Melee Mayhem, Equal Opportunity and Super Sneak. |
| Dragon Jumper | 8.5 DEC/day | His natural speed and base attack can hit monsters before they have a chance to act. The Flying ability also adds added miss chance. |
| Byzantine Kitty | 27.150 DEC/day | All her abilities are amazing. Just not good in Reverse Speed. |
| War Chaang | 0.90 DEC/day | In rulesets without Dragon Splinter available, this is my go-to for Melee Mayhem, Equal Opportunity and Super Sneak. |
| Cornealus | 17 DEC/day | Heal with high base HP can sometimes win battles through fatigue. |
| Chain Golem | 14.8 DEC/day | A solid Neutral tank. Can't go wrong with putting him in front. Gets boosted by both summoners. |
So in total, I've spent only 111.338 DEC for this brawl. The other cards in Untamed that I use often that aren't part of the starter sets are Beatrix Ironhand (currently $7) and Hero of Beyond (currently $12).
Our Guild also has Barracks Level 2, which means we can use our Gladiator cards! You can only use 1 per battle, and here's a picture of all the Gladius cards I have.
Anyway, on to the story. I mean, I wouldn't be writing this if I didn't win undefeated right? I had 7 opponents in my Fray, and luckily the one from an Immortal Gods guild fled the battle.
Here are the replays of each battle and a short description of them:
| Battle Links | Mana / Rulesets | What happened? |
|---|---|---|
| Battle 1 | 42, Explosive Weaponry, Lost Legendaries | Chanseus kept my tank and backline alive as much as possible. Snipe and Opportunity use here for maximizing Blast damage, despite having a lower speed than the opponent. |
| Battle 2 | 40, Close Range | Llama Kron vs Kitty Life Leech. The battle ends in fatigue and you can guess who won. |
| Battle 3 | 36, Even Stevens | Kitty Cornealus is the MVP here. I tried to put Trapp Followay as a 2nd tank to rack up as much Bloodlust as he can, but the higher leveled monsters on the opponent's team made it very hard. Again, won in fatigue. |
| Battle 4 | 24, Super Sneak | Tried Trapp here because I could use his Speed advantage with Bloodlust, and he can attack from the 2nd Position here. Paired it with War Chaang at the back end for Retaliate chance. |
| Battle 5 | 26, Back to Basics | Kitty here with a Kotriphus Bayne because of his 12 base HP. I put Chain Golem as a secondary tank, just in case the damage is enough to out-Heal Kitty. I forgot it was Back to Basics when I was surprised Bloodlust didn't trigger. Opponent actually had a similar lineup, but didn't have enough sustainability. |
| Battle 6 | 12, Silent Summoners, Little League | Trapp Followay is so good in Little League. Unfortunately I wasn't able to see him get bigger because this was all over in one Round. |
All in all I guess there was still some luck involved with my Fray, but I'd like to give myself a pat on the back for a job well done. I will definitely try to do this again for our next brawl!
With this, I'd really like to encourage people who are not yet part of a Guild to look for a community, instead of just looking for some random guilds. Communication is important, and without our guild leaders, 
I'd like to also shoutout 
Good luck to the rest of you, and may your rewards chests always contain gold foil legendaries.
