Hey splinterpeeps!

I have been battling like crazy in the past few hours. I really want to make this happen but there is not much time left. A few good or lucky battles could catapult me into the next league.

I added another 110 packs yesterday and I will continue buying card packs whenever I have liquid funds. I got really bullish about the game. From now on we also have to HODL DEC we earn to get more points in the airdrop.

Time is ticking and big things are going to happen. But first lets go into the first battle on my way to Diamond 3 and I promise you, at the end of this post there will be a giveaway!

BATTLE 1

Ok so lets get into this!

so there we are losing 16 ranking points in this live battle log was not the way I wanted to start. But hey this is life battlefield journalism I report what happens nothing else!

BATTLE 2

As always when the ruleset says blast I and mana is high I tend to go for resistance against all kinds of damage and Mimosa Nightshade is an excellent choice for that since she is reducing damage of all ranged attacks. As an extra bonus she gives all enemy monsters affliction and they can not use their healing powers should they have some. In a battle with blast ruleset this is IMO a solid strategy.

The fact that I am up against a bot makes this battle an easy win. Every human would have gone for a strategy where snipe and reach abilities are applied since the more damage you spread the more total blast damage you will have.

Since I recently leveled up my Zaku to level 2 and I really do like to deal carnage with the blast ability I wanted to put his abilities to a test.

And just now as I review my battles to finish this post I see a huge mistake!
The ruleset was fog of war meaning all sneak and snipe abilities won't work. So spending 9 Mana on the sand worm was not so intelligent... but even with this mistake and Living Lava missing his first chance to deal damage couldn't stop me from winning this.

At this point I was already playing on the phone since I already put myself to bed. 30 more points I can do this before falling asleep.

BATTLE 4

Ruleset up close and personal only and aim true meaning we need to be able to absorb some damage. Getting some extra armor with the Drake of Arnak seemed like the best solution. And the vigilator attacking twice with 3 damage with no chance to miss sounded great too. Additional bonus with thorns ability lets me deal damage while taking damage.

BATTLE 5

Bam! One of my favorite strategies since I acquired Scarred Lama is taking advantage of the last stand ability. The monsters I use for this are mostly high damage high health mosters. If the mana points allow it I always go for the chance to score! With the ruleset equal opportunity and broken arrows I chose Nectar Queen so I have the chance to avoid attacks with the flying ability.
The damage and health goes high up with last stand and it is an easy win!

We made it!
