DRAGONS: Share Your Battle

(Edited)

Introduction


The Splinterlands team has started an initiative and its called Show Your Battle Contest. Every week the team picks a theme and asks us Monster Manaics to showcase some battles that are in line with that theme.

Its been awhile since I participated in the *weekly Share Your Battle contest. With this weeks contest asking us to share battles that have the Splinter Dragon showcased I didn't want to pass up the chance for doing just that.

DRAGONS

SUMMONERS
Common: DELWYN DRAGONSCALE
Rare: NEB SENI
Rare: DRAKE OF ARNAK
EPIC: DARIA DRAGONSCALE
EPIC: KRETCH TALLEVOR
Legendary: SELENIA SKY

SELENIA SKY LORE

Selenia Sky is a famed Dragon summoner from Draykh-Nahka. Though she has no scales, the purest of the Fire Blood pumps through Selenia’s veins. Most of the flying Dragons allow her to ride them even though she is not an approved Gloridax Dragon Rider. Selenia has won more Mount Mox victories than any other summoner in the Splinterlands, and she knows she is the best.Lore taken from official Splinterlands site.

Victory was mine! With the Splinterland game growing in popularity and players getting better by the day getting a win in battle isn't as easy as it once was. The above showcased battle had a mana cap of 25 and rule set "Little League" which means no Monsters with a MANA cost of over Four.

I decided to use the EPIC Dragon Summoner DARIA DRAGONSCALE for this battle. Its an EPIC that allows all MELE attack Monsters to have plus one to their attack. Like all Dragon Summoners using Daria allowed me to use a second Splinter. My second Splinter of choice was the Death Splinter.

My opponent was far outmatched in this battle and didn't stand much of a chance. My Dragons and their allies were much too strong and powerful for my opponent to overcome. I used a standard strategy of having Mele attack monsters in the front with magic in the middle and ranged in the back for this battle.

One of the key Monsters in this line up is the Legendary Monster Fallen Specter. This Legendary Dragon Monster has the ability to hinder the attack of all the enemies Mele attack monsters. This means that combined with Daria my team ended up with a plus one attack plus my opponents team was hit with a minus one mele attack. Teaming these two up in battle will help bring you many victories.

FALLEN SPECTER

They don’t always go away. A Dark Eternal soul is already corrupted beyond the salvation of the living, so to all outside the land of Mortis, they are lost. Even when a Dark Eternal is defeated or destroyed in combat, there is often left a remnant, a flicker of the soul that once was. Sometimes these Specters, clinging to their anger, retain certain physical powers in this realm. The most powerful Fallen Specters are chilling sights to behold when they are called to tournament battle at Mount Mox. Lore taken from official Splinterlands site.

Dam that is a hard ruleset for dragon haha, Most cards are costly in mana but nice choice in cards. Crazy the alpha is worth so much but again it makes sense with MTG card prices for alpha.

OMG! Look at that Splinterlands market cap! I go away for a couple days and BOOM Splinterlands explodes again and we have new ATHs. Question is, is this from the excitement and new money coming from Chaos Legion or is this due to Bitcoin rising back to it's ATH again?

My collection price also went up by 10% from yesterday. I might argue it's the excitement for the new CL because my other portfolio in Altcoin did not gain much even though Bitcoin rose to new ATH. I am still perplexed by this. It looks like Bitcoin dominance is losing its power.

I think you're right, the pump is related to CL excitement. It's a good time to be in the market no matter what the reason.

I have no clue what the reason but one would think that CL sales would negatively impact "older" cards but this is Splinterlands and logic doesn't seem to apply to the ROI this game gives to everyone.

That's true. The best guess I can give is that those selling their vouchers are putting the money into buying cards on the market. I'm not sure, but I thought unopened packs don't count toward market cap. Either way, Happy Days for my Deck value!

Could it be, because CL packs are not to be opened for another month and some new players, who hoped to gain access to fresh cards are just FOMOing in? I certainly did that :o).

That’s a great lineup.

Fallen Specter is a very under valued card, or was (I haven’t checked current pricing), in my opinion.

I maxed mine out for around $2 each and it was hard to use until Mimosa came along. Now the little guy is on of my faves.

Eliminating the kamakazi element of reflect magic makes this dude is a star!

SPEED

and flight make him hard to hit on their own but with blindness he can be truly ethereal for physical attackers.

Plus the physical damage debuffs he offers your team is a nice package. Add death elemental and you can negatively impact every for of attack for 5 mana, plus give everyone dodge, neg their health and have a sniper.

I love this card!

I undervalued Fallen Specter for some time.
I have come to learn that any low mana cost card is worth having.

Exactly! I think a solid build is to start with low mana stuff. Lots of versatility, and they’re often more powerful because their low mana.

I think if you have a solid little league team in any splinter you can fill in meat shields to let them work.

For 2$? Wow, He is at 139$ right now. I hope to have the same appreciation with some of the reward cards I load up on, at the moment. Those gains are incredible.

It was about the same for Spirit Miner. I have a lot of "garbage" legendary cards I got for pennies that are worth a used car or the down payment for a new one now.

That's why I haven't sold Djinn Biljko yet. He's worth more than double what I paid for him just a few weeks ago and seems like the worst card I own, pictured here

... but time always tells as evidenced by the fact that he's already worth x2 even being the kind of guy you want to see fucked in the neck until dead.

🤣 Yeah, I bought him too :o). Bought quite a few reward cards actually. A Djinn Oshannus as well, and he will be at 100$ in no time, if I venture to guess. Lava Launcher, Djinn Renova and Djinn Chwalla will skyrocket as well. My pockets aren't that deep, but within my limits, I try.

I maxed all those except lava launcher so hopefully I’ll win a few along the way to hold.

Djinn Oshannus is worth maxing out and collecting extras for down the road.

He's a beast!

The battle in this link isn't even him at his best. I don't even think Forcefield came into play, and that's his big deal. As far as I know he's the only card with it until CL launches.

Yes, forcefield will be the decisive skill for a lot of battles in higher leagues. Maxing out this card (although I can't use it at the moment) is my priority at the moment as well.

Not financial advice!

But word to the wise... it doesn't matter how expensive it seems now... imagine it at 10x before you decide you can't afford it now, lol. I have all my (rare) Beta summoners maxed out except Malric... instead I bought and maxed Pyre, thinking I'd get around to Malric later... Now he's level 7, with some extra and gonna cost me thousands to get that last stretch or I can just buy a new maxed one, for waaaay more than I can afford, and the irony of that isn't lost on me. lol

😀 yeah, you're right. The appreciation of most cards is built in. Djinn will be my first maxed out card alongside Lava Launcher, which already is level 4. Thanks for the tips.
See you in Champion I one day :o)

Great entry for the best splinter in the game.
I wanted to thank you again for delegating 4 cards to me two weeks ago and like I promised, I wanted to tell you, I bought those cards now. They helped me a lot, but I didn't want to abuse your kindness.
Thank you very much again and I hope I can someday do the same for a newbie as well.
