Darastrix Modern Bronze GF Beginner
- I won 12 battles in this tournament and was able to make sure 15 sps on this position; nonetheless, I am grateful that I was able to finish in the top 50 and earn my 44 slots in this type of competition.
Summary of the Game
Early Match up
- At first glance, I thought I had the advantage on this challenge, but my opponent was able to secure a Gold Foil Ilthain on this challenge, which was shocking on my part because I didn't even have a counter on it, my bad timing was that I just possess three range attackers, which are Gem Meteor, Portal Spinner, and War Pegasus if I could turn back time, I would just use melee attacks or magic burst cards, but unfortunately I will deal this in a bad shape. The First round is that no one died in this match but I was the one who negatively impact the damage of the return fire from Ilthain.
Mid-Game Encounter
- Round 2 was a heartbreaking time since my Gem Meteor was killed immediately, followed by my Portal Spinner and tank.Cave Slug took over as my personal tank, but my opponent showed no mercy and murdered it right away. That's why I only have two cards left to face a whale player.
Weak Spot
- I used General Sloan, which is ineffective against Ilthain's Return Fire ability, thus every attack of my range monster will just return to me and gradually damage my monster on the field, which is why the game ended so swiftly and I undoubtedly have no match on this challenge.
End Game
- Although it was just a short combat, it was still a fantastic game since I battled with heart and glory, which allowed me to withstand the damage and eliminate some of its monsters on the field. I failed today and did not win a Splintershards, but I will attempt again to overcome tougher adversaries, particularly whales who are considerably stronger than me and had too many cards to play. I only have a few cards since GOLD FOIL cards are rather pricey right now, and the shortage of gold foils is being amplified by the introduction of the LAND.
Better luck next time to me

Did your strategy work?
It was an easy pick off on my cards since the return ability is powerful against General Sloan's boost +1 Range attack to my monster on the field, and it was unfortunate of mistakes and poor forecast on this challenge. I did not expect Ilthain to be my opponent's choice, did I truly fall short on this and lose sight of the return ability, that's why I was thwarted by my opponent, it discomforts me that I was not able to notice his strategy and method, and going forward I should be more mindful when putting cards and summoners on the field. Because the SPS competition is a tough struggle, I consider this a learning experience.
Do you like the Close Range? Why or why not?
Close range is not one of the rules that I like in the new all-three rule set because it appears that this rule only suits range attackers and there are many counters on this ability that I don't like to encounter, the advantage is that you can use your range attackers to be tank because it can attack on the first position because of this ability, but I don't want to do that because I will lose a slot for the best tank of it, the only way this rule is advantageous is that when the rules have that ranged attack only, this only I can say the best fits on this approach.
What are your thoughts about Close Range?
Close Range is a beneficial Rule Condition when you have a beast range attacker, such as ANCIENT REDWOOD from Riftwatcher Packs, who has 5 attack damage and 9 health for a level one card. This level 1 card had the ability of true strike so the attack will never miss so if your opponent will have returned fire ability that is so bad luck on your side.
And what I'm worried about is that there are many countermeasures to this battle rule, such as Ilthain and LIR DEEPSWIMMER. These summoners also supply Return Fire ability, so be cautious utilizing a lot of range attackers if they detect you will be crushed and outsmarted by your opponent.
Recommendations :
My advice for this sort of combat is to employ Ilthain when there is a Light element to battle, Death Element is also effective when you have Mimosa on your hand, but Ilthain is the most horrifying summoner to battle on this challenge since he has the power for reflecting damage to all monster on your field, while you can utilize your bomb squad range attack. Ilthain's core ability is Reflect range damage, which is why I recommend him when you confront people spamming distance physical attacks; they will be shattered into shreds as they experience an agonizing technique that will undoubtedly keep you on phase in every fight.
This is the Battle Conditions
I have a prediction regarding this particular match since I only use my greatest summoner, which is my Sloan, and considering close range is to my advantage, I believe that General Sloan is the most effective and ideal choice to win this game. With 42 mana and odd ones out, plus the ability of rage, I was so certain in the fight that I forgot there was a counter on the range, Ilthain, who soon enough demolished me.
