Speed and Backfire provides a seven times Backfire and a sweet victory over a nasty-looking, Snipe-focused Gold-Foil team led by Yodin Zaku.
Yodin Zaku is an arch-enemy of mine, one that I take particular pride in killing.
Today I build a Speed/Backfire team in this 27 mana Splinterlands battle, and it completely ripped apart the opposition.
As you can see from my line-up, I have two +speed cards and two +Backfire cards, giving me a speed around six to eight - a must-have for backfire to work.
Obviously, "Quix the Devious" also provides a minus to enemy speed, making the difference even more outspoken.
I did sacrifice my Fiend - the zero-mana card - but apart from that, Yodin's team simply could not his anything of significance. What a great way to start the day.
You can watch the entire battle here. Do not worry, it does not take long ;-)

I hope you enjoyed this battle. It serves as an inspiration for strategies for players to counter opponents that seem otherwise very tough to handle.
