Muad'Dib and the Sand Worm - Splinterlands Battle Challenge After two ability challenges, Scavenger and Retaliate, is time for a monster to enter in the arena! The Sand Worm is one of my favorite cards and I probably play it 8 out of 10 games.

Sand Worm you said? Big badass worms that can swallow everything? Hey mister Frank Herbert, some of the sandworms escaped Arrakis and are terrorizing the Splinterlands! Well ... it doesn't matter as I am Muad'Dib, I am the Emperor of the Dune and I riding the Sand Worm to battle! https://splinterlands.com?ref=pvmihalache

The Sand Worm is a neutral common card found in reward chests. With 5 Melee Damage, 5 Heath Points and 1 Speed, the mana price is matches the good stats. The Worm has Sneak ability and will earn Snare at level 6 and Piercing at level 10.

**Battle details and line-up!** The battle mana cap was 24 and the game ruleset was Equal Opportunity, where every monster will hit the enemy with the lowest health. Malric Inferno (Summoner) +1 melee damage to all melee monsters Cerberus : Main Tank with Heal Fineas Rage: Off-Tank with Reach Sand Worm: Over-Power Damage with Sneak Flame Monkey: Cheap Target Furious Chicken: Free Target

The enemy Life Splinter team focused on extra HP and Armor, with a mix of Melee and Ranged monsters. I chose the Flame Monkey and the Chicken as decoys, while my heavy hitters will take the low health monsters down. With 4 monsters down after two rounds, it looked like this fight is done. The opponents monsters were able to absorb one attack due to the added armor.

The Cerberus healing and some lucky missed attacks kept me in the game. At the start of round 5, the game was even, as only the Feral Spirit was standing between me and the ranged monsters.

Cerberus didn't heal fast enough but luck was still with me. Fineas tamed the cat and it's game over! See the full battle here! https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=93ca615faa841a34ea3f848bd8056d83f44d364f&ref=pvmihalache

The enemy tactics was better than my ones, as I was using brute force to end the fight quick. He was unlucky to miss so much and I feel that I won the game against the odds. The Sand Worm did his part and made enough damage to keep me in the game.
