Water Deck

Dealing with the water deck can be pretty frustrating because of how magic works: going through the armor and not being able to miss is a big deal when comes into battle. Besides that when you combine the power of magic with the healing and huge HP from the water cards, you end up with a monster deck which is almost unbeatable.

It's is always a good practice to keep an eye on the enemy's past battles, they will tell us the enemy styles, and it will give a hint on the playstyle of our opponent. When you notice a couple of water battles in the history of our enemy the chances are pretty high that they will go for Alric Stormbringer.

Earth Splinters

Because the earth splinters are my go-to, and I'm just loving to play it. I'll teach how I deal with Alric using the earth deck. Luckily for us, almost all of our monster will be ghost cards (i.e. the cards that comes by default with your account).

Our main weapon against Magic - Unicorn Mustang!

With mana cost, it has the Void ability, which reduces all magic damage, plus this beast has 10 HP, allowing him tank damage for ages. Our horse bites hard as well, it does 3 damage, enough to get through the sea monster healing (plus 2 damage for the thorn ability for each time it gets hits by melee attacks).

Hold the backline!

For the sneaky sneakers that will target the backline we place the Fallen Summoner in the last position, it cost only 2 mana and has the magic reflect ability, it will return any magic damage, plus the thorn it will return all the melee also, making it a hedgehog, hurting almost anything that touches it!

With our two tanks plus the thorn ability, we are able to hold for enough time that our thorn will tear them apart.

With the remaining mana, we can invest in the Khamer Princess or the Earth Elemental, Both for low mana battle.

But if mana is not a problem for you then the go-to cards are the Mantoid or Globin Chariot, they both do plenty of damage.

Ps: If you have Eponia try to place it, one extra HP for our tanks can be the difference between Victory or the Defeat.

Ps2: Furious Chicken works amazingly in this deck, an extra body to tank an attack and give 2 damage back through the thorn ability.

That is it, that's my strategy, I would love to know if you have any tips or improvements😄.
