This week on the Weekly share your battle challange: Deepluker.
I'am a big fan of this card, and it also get me a lot of win's if I play with the card itself.
I got this card in an Gold Foil edition, wich give me the advantage that it is an lvl 3 card.
So with 3 attack, 3 speed, and 7 health this is an really strong Common card.
And let's not forget it's ability:
Opportunity
the rules for this week where:
So the rules:
- super sneak (all the melee attack monsters have the sneak ability).
- Taking sides (Neutral monsters may not be used).
with that, and only the water splinters and death splinter available with 42 mana it was an easy choice for me to choose the water splinter Kelya (wich is lvl 2).
So, the rules where set, and the Splinter was set now I only had tho choose the team.
firts off, because it was such a high mana game (and one of my favorites all time tank), thus becasue he is really fast, so he will get some misses on him if some melee attack monsters try to hit him, and the void is really good against magic (for the best results pair him with an bortus)
Djin Oshannus:
The second card was
Nerissa Tridawn:
I dont think I need to explain why, but sure ill do it.
9 live, 3 magic damage with 2 speed?
so with the high health this is just an really good second card, wich can be also a little tanky when it comes to there and the damaga output is just crazy
3rd card (guys/milady's, this card can be so strong if well played)
Coral Wraith:
a 2 damage magic attack for 4 mana with sneak?
it will vaporize the back line of your enemy's (wich wasn't necessary in this rule mode, but magic will always hit everything, and i'am not that sure with melee)
4rth card in this setup:
Demented Shark:
With this ruleset (Super Sneak) this card really shines.
The Inspire ability really comes forward here, wich will give all my melee monsters +1 damage.
The fifth card:
The Gold Foil Deeplurker:
This card combined with Demented Shark gives Deeplurker 4 Damage, now with the combo: Opportunity and Sneak.
so all and all a really strong play this game.
and because this is a Gold Foil, with an lvl 2 Kelya I can use this card at it's full potenial lvl 3.
for the last spot I wanted an monster with high health and some armor.
at the time of choosing I only had 5 mana left, so I was looking for some card wich could taka a hit or 2 from the sneak monsters.
therefore I choose,
Kulu Swimhunter:
Well what I said, the damage is nice, but I really placed the card here just to take 1-2 hits before they can reach my other cards.
with this, my setup was complete, and now let's jump to the Battle Phase.
The complete Setup:
The battle
my team:
Splinter: Kelya Frendul (LVL 2)
1.Djin Oshannus
2.Nerissa Tridawn
3.Coral Wraith
4.Demented Shark
5.Deeplurker GF
6.Kulu Swimhunter
against:
Splinter: Kelya Frendul (LVL 2)
1.Diemonshark GF
2.Flying Squid GF
3.Deeplurker GF
4.Merdaali Guardian
5.Sniping Narwhal
6.Serpent of Eld
after the buffs from the Splinters/card's we are ready, my and the enemy's team gets +1 armor and speed from Kelya, with an additional +1 melee damage that I get from Demented Shark.
Round 1
So here we begin, after all the buffs we are really set to go.
Round 2
At the begin of round 2 you already see i lost my Kulu Swimhunter, wich is sad, but you see that the Deepluker isnt touched yet (or really any other monster from my team) what the intension was for me
at the enemy you can see that i hurt his Serpent of Eld and Diemonshark.
Round 3
When we enter Round 3 you'll see that my Deepluker is damaged to almost dead, well there isn't any much more going on in my team except that Nerissa Tridawn has gotten some damage.
but if you look at the enemy's team, he lost already his Diemonshark, Serpent of Eld and his Snimping Narwhal already took some damage
let's get set for round 4!
Round 4
I have lost my Deeplurker ... but in addition to that i also took his Sniping Narwhal
Djin Oshannus got some damage, but all and all a not so much happend round.
Round 5 - Last round!
The last round is coming, here we see that I defeated, I deafeted his Flying Squid, and did some Damage to his Merdaali Guardian. therefore the real treath to my monsters is now centralized to Djin Oshannus, becasue all his damage potential will hit him now.
The result
Well this was the battle of the week, here you can see that even if you have an Super Sneak mode, you can always play with other cards than the mode gives an advantage in.
the magic damage really helped me to a win this game.
Side note: this is my first blog ever.
I'am playing in Silver 3 and I also have a lot to learn, so any tips and or tricks are always welcome!
