Hey Splinterlands Fam! I'm going to start doing some regular posts to talk about some of the cards I'm investing in and why! This is not financial advice! Do your own research!
The card I'm featuring today is a current rare rewards card, the Twilight Basilisk. This card is sitting between 10 and 13 cents lately. Here are some reasons I think this card is a hidden gem!
The Twilight Basilisk gets the Stun ability at level 5. This is currently the cheapest path to the Stun ability at about $5 with the current market price. Stun is a great ability and with the modern and wild formats coming out soon players will see a lot of their old stun cards disappear.
Here are a few examples of battles where Stun makes all the difference:

Using the knock out rule set is the only way I could win this battle. Without that, the Kron probably would have taken my whole team by himself.

Their tank was locked down for 3 rounds and never saw what hit him!
These are just a couple of quick examples of the power of the Stun ability and with it, the power of the Twilight Basilisk! With the season ending tomorrow, usually we will see a dip in the prices of these rares that the lower bronze and silver players overlook. This is the time to invest! This card is a GEM! Get them while they are cheap!
