On this week challenge we have a an Epic Alpha/Beta card, from the Earth Splinter. I had enough funds to buy a maxed out Beta one, for around $27, as I was thinking that is quite cheap. As you can see, at level 1 you have Retaliate, quite good when the opponent is playing with a lot of low health cards. At level 4 you have Enrage, raising the damage to 6, and the speed to 5, a real monster. Life is high enough to benefit from the Enrage.
If you have a ruleset based on Melee attack, or Sneak/Snipe/Opportunity, this card is awesome, and can make easily 12 Health damage (with 6 normal and 6 retaliating once). So, as I prepared for the challenge, this were the starting conditions:
Mana Limit: 46
Rulesets: Weak Magic (Magic will hit armor) and Broken Arrow (No ranged monsters played)
Teams:
Mine - Bortus (Summoner), Naga warrior, Wave Runner, Sea monster, Sandworm, Feasting Seaweed, Phantom of the Abbys
Opponent - Wizard of Eastwood, Unicorn Mustang, Spirit Miner, Wood Nymph, Mushroom Seer, Spirit shaman.
Without ranged attack, I was expecting some heavy magic use, so I played Bortus to decrease the Magic attack. Naga was main tank, with Wave Runner as back-up, and Sea Monster as plan B, and for damage is used Sandworm and the Seaweed to kill the ones in the back, with a Magic damage card (Phantom of the Abbys) just in case.
His summoner ability (-2 Armor) was useless, as I did not have any, while my summoner decreased some cards magic attack from 2 to 1. The Naga killed his two tanks before falling, and my other cards killed the 4 magic users quite fast once the tanks were gone.
I was asked by my beginner friends how many chests you get on different ranks. There it is, mates!
All the best,
George
