BATTLE LINK -- July 27, 2024 -- Day 209 of 366 vs. @investor777
Today's battle comes from an SPSDAO Tournament where the format was Modern Gold rather than my typical Champion ranked play. From Day 2 of the event, this 25-mana battle had 3 rulesets: Weak Magic, Rise of the Commons, and Holy Protection. With four elements to choose from, my opponent and I both came to battle with different elements, which I always find exciting to examine.
I focused my strategy on two main attack threats: Katrelba Gobson with sneak and Gobson Sniper with snipe. The rest of my monster choices were intended to support those two monsters long enough to bring home the W. My opponent's strategy hit quick and hit hard, with Diemonshark, Deeplurker, and Pelacor Bandit all delivering big melee attacks.
But it was my featured card that saved the battle, the Chaos Legion soulbound reward earth common, Fungus Flinger. This cute little mushroom monster is typically selected with the intention of giving that martyr boost to its two neighbors. However, its blind ability is another huge support in battle and often goes overlooked.
After watching the replay, Fungus Flinger was responsible for a number of misses that helped keep my attackers alive long enough to turn the tide of this battle. Of course, the ability to martyr Katrelba and Sniper into stronger attacks helped too!
While Kelya and the water team might be stronger on paper, Lobb Lowland did just enough to get Katrelba into the fight. The mighty double-striking gladiator took it from there. Just don't forget about the important support monsters, like Fungus Flinger, that help the big names do their business!
