Second review of the new Splinterlands series. If the first review took us to an epic card like Noa the Just, this week we go two levels down and I analyse a common card. A card with a special component as it is Gladius and cannot be purchased on the market at the moment. This week, in the second chapter of the series, I analyse the powerful Isgald Vorts. Let's get started.
Segundo análisis de la nueva serie en Splinterlands. Si el primer repaso nos llevó hasta una carta épica como Noa the Just, esta semana descendemos dos niveles y analizo una carta común. Una carta además con un componente especial al ser Gladius y no poder adquirirla, de momento, en el mercado. Esta semana, en el segundo capítulo de la serie, analizo la poderosa Isgald Vorts. Comenzamos.
As I said, this week's analysis takes us to a common card in the water deck. Isgald Vorst is a Gladius edition card with melee attack and also good stats in terms of summoning cost, attack and speed For the analysis I'm going to use a level 3 copy, which is the one I have at the moment. And for this I'm going to take advantage of one of the new battle conditions: Are you not entertained? which gives us the possibility to use Gladius cards in a normal ranked combat. An advantage that, this time, I couldn't pass up to analyse a very versatile Gladius card from the water deck.
Como ya he dicho, esta semana el análisis nos lleva hasta una carta común del mazo de agua. Isgald Vorst es una carta edición Gladius con ataque cuerpo a cuerpo y, además, con unas buenas estadísticas en cuanto a coste de invocación, ataque y velocidad. Para su análisis voy a utilizar una copia a nivel 3 que es la que tengo en este momento. Y para ello voy a aprovechar una de las nuevas condiciones de batalla: Are you not entertained? que nos da la posibilidad de utilizar cartas Gladius en un combate de clasificación normal. Una ventaja que, esta vez, no podía dejar pasar para analizar una carta Gladius muy versátil del mazo de agua.
Isgald has a very low summoning cost for all it has to offer. Only five points for a very complete card that can attack from the second line, a feature that makes it usable in almost any context and available summoning mana limitations. In the example battle there will be a combat with a high mana level but it could have been used in much more restrictive conditions than the ones I am going to give as an example in the corresponding part of the current analysis.
Isgald tiene un coste de invocación realmente ajustado para todo lo que ofrece. Solo cinco puntos para una carta muy completa y que puede atacar desde la segunda línea. Una característica que hace que pueda ser utilizada casi en cualquier contexto y limitaciones de maná de invocación disponible. En la batalla de ejemplo habrá un combate con un nivel de maná elevado pero podría haber sido utilizada en condiciones mucho más restrictivas que las que voy a poner de ejemplo en la parte correspondiente del análisis actual.
As for the evolution of Isgald Vorts in his 10 levels, we find that he will improve gradually and that the special abilities will not be a point of substantial improvement. His initial levels are two points of attack, three of speed and shield and four of vitality more than enough for a mana cost of five points and taking into account that the Bloodlust ability can increase them at any time during the battle. Its maximum potential will bring it up to five points of attack and speed, four of shield and six of vitality, being evident that its improvement is qualitative in the offensive aspect of the card.
En cuanto a la evolución de Isgald Vorts en sus 10 niveles nos encontramos que va a ir mejorando paulativamente y que las habilidades especiales no serán punto de mejora sustancial. Sus niveles iniciales son de dos puntos de ataque, tres de velocidad y escudo y cuatro de vitalidad. Más que suficientes para un coste de maná de cinco puntos y teniendo en cuenta que la habilidad Bloodlust los puede aumentar en cualquier momento de la batalla. Su máximo potencial va a llevarla hasta los cinco puntos de ataque y velocidad, cuatro de escudo y seis de vitalidad siendo evidente que su mejora es cualitativa en el aspecto ofensivo de la carta.
It's a Gladius edition card so, as you know, at the moment the only way to get it is through the gladius packs you get in the brawls. Maybe in the future they will be available for rent or purchase but, for now, this is the only way to get Isgald Vorts.
Es una carta edición Gladius por lo que, como ya sabes, de momento la única forma de conseguirla es a través de los packs gladius que se consiguen en las brawls. Quizá en un futuro salgan al mercado de alquiler o compra pero, de momento, esta es la única forma de conseguir a Isgald Vorts.

The example battle, which pits me against 
, will measure two water decks that share three of the six cards in contention. The difference will be in the rearguard of both line-ups and the potentially increased power of Isgald Vorts. Its presence can be decisive, especially if it can cause some death in the enemy ranks. Let's check it out on the battlefield.

| Card | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Kelya Frendul | Seeking, as usual, to take advantage of the extra speed and shielding it brings to all cards. |
| Diemonshark | One of my favourite tanks in this aquatic deck. Lots of speed, attack and an important defensive component that will benefit from the presence of Swamp Spitter in the second line. |
| Flying Squid | Possibly the best card in the water deck to be used in the second position of the line-up. Lots of vitality and a devastating attack at our service. |
| Deeplurker | Amazing offensive power attacking the second line one more time. |
| Isgald Vorst | The star. |
| Swamp Spitter | Three ranged hit points and with the ability to restore my tank's shield. A must-have card in battles with plenty of mana to be used in combination with, for example, Diemonshark. |
| Gargoya Devil | A card that occupies the last position but could also make attacks if it ends up in the first position thanks to its Close Range ability. |
The battle went according to plan and the power of my second line, defended by a Diemonshark level tank, gave me a convincing victory. ISgald Vorst was able to take out two enemy cards and so twice improved his abilities Victory and strategy were more than adequate.
La batalla siguió el guión previsto y el poder de mi segunda línea, defendida por un tanque del nivel de Diemonshark me dieron una convincente victoria. ISgald Vorst pudo eliminar a dos cartas enemigas por lo que mejoró en dos ocasiones sus habilidades. Victoria y estrategia más que adecuadas.
Isgald Vorts is one of those cards that it's a shame it's a Gladius edition. It would be one of the most used cards in my water deck on a par with other commons and rares like Diemonshark, Flying Squid, Merdaali Guardian or Venari Wavesmith, being even better than the last two mentioned. Its suitable summon cost and playability make it an important card in clan battles, and especially when battle or summoner conditions allow Gladius Edition cards to be included in lineups. High mark of 8 out of 10 for the second card analyzed in this new series.
Isgald Vorts es una de esas cartas que es una lástima que sea edición Gladius. Sería una de las cartas más usadas de mi mazo de agua al nivel de otras comunes y raras como Diemonshark, Flying Squid, Merdaali Guardian o Venari Wavesmith siendo, incluso, mejor que las dos últimas mencionadas. Su adecuado coste de invocación y su jugabilidad la convierten en una carta importante en batallas de clan y, especialmente, cuando las condiciones de batalla o de invocador permiten la inclusión de cartas edición Gladius en las alineaciones. Nota elevada de 8 sobre 10 para la segunda carta analizada en esta nueva serie.
