Quix had wandered the chaos realm for so long, he’d almost forgotten where his life had begun. Most of the memories only came to him in dreams now, flashes of images that were hard to connect and make any sense of. It was only when he came upon the Ravaged Void and rested by its black well that something stirred within him. It prompted a deep hunger for mana and he became obsessed with magic. Not only that, but the images he saw in his dreams became clearer and he witnessed great dragons. Some of them were native to the realm of chaos and some looked completely alien. Their nature appealed to him and demanded his attention, and so he remained by the void where over time his power grew, the vast emptiness filling him with potent energy.
At first he found that he could levitate and even consume fragments of time, taking it away from other beings and slowing them down. Soon after he realised the ability to interrupt projectiles inflight, as though an invisible hand had snatched them from the air. But what began to frustrate him was his capacity to summon. He could conjure up all manner of monsters and creatures from the ether but there was no elemental basis to any of them, and what he really wanted was to rouse the mighty dragon. The will of a dragon is strong though and try as he might, the task became impossible.
Quix flew into a terrible rage and destroyed the makeshift home he had made around the Ravaged Void. Enticed by the bright flashes of destructive power that he had cast, a void dragon came to him, curious and fascinated by his magic ability. However, the dark fury that had consumed Quix would not leave him and when the dragon came near, he set about it with his knives. Because it was only young and due to the power that emanated from him, he quickly over came it, killing the pitiful beast with no remorse. He didn’t stop there though, his anger demanding that he take a trophy from the being that refused to be summoned by his will alone. Cutting the fangs from its maw, he created a gruesome necklace. But his ire wasn’t sated though and so he gouged out its eyes, tasting some of the power that lay within.
He soon found that having crafted these talismans’, his capacity to summon was enhanced. He could now call forth the Void Dragon at will, the grisly totem amplifying his ability. With the realisation of this obscene turn in events, Quix set out immediately in a quest to gather as many tokens as possible from the dragons. Whether it meant raiding their nests, scavenging from corpses or killing them unawares, he didn’t care, and always managed to walk away with his prize.
Of course when the Chaos Rift was established and a doorway to the new world opened, Quix was eager to visit the Splinterlands and find new dragon trophies to add to his collection, expanding upon his already lethal repertoire of monsters.

The Lineup
Summoner
For this battle I chose Quix as my summoner. At 4 Mana Quix gives you -1 to opponent ranged and -1 to opponent speed.
Front Row
Void Dragon was my choice for a tank. The lowest Mana Dragon I had at 5 Mana, the Void Dragon has 1 Magic Damage, 5 Speed, 7 Health, Flying (giving an extra dodge chance) and Void (giving us some magic protection)
Second
The Merdaali Guardian was my next choice. With a 3 Mana cost, the Merdaali Guardian has 2 Speed, 3 Health and the Tank Heal Ability. So while the Void Dragon is taking damage, the Guardian is giving it back.
Third
Uraeus was my final choice to round out my team. At 3 Mana cost, Uraeus has 1 Attack, 2 Speed, 1 Armor, 3 Health and the Sneak Ability. Which as you will see, was able to take out Obsidian's healer.
Battle Breakdown
Sadly this wasn't the most exciting of battles, but I think shows how powerful Dragons can be with a well rounded team.
As stated up above my first major strike happened in Round 3 when Uraeus took out the Goblin Psychic with sneak. Removing Obsidian's ability to keep the tank healed. And the Regal Peryton lasted until Round 6 until we took him out.
Not exciting but effective.
