they sure printed a lot of monsters with Flying in this most recent batch of #Splinterlands rewards cards. makes one wonder.... of the 21 cards, 6 have Flying. Gargoya Devil is a good one. i can see him now, shooting Thorny Boy's monsters in the face from Close Range with nary a scratch. lovely. of the 21 cards, only 3 die outright to the 2 damage from the Earthquake ruleset (one of them being Djinn Biljka who is like a rock or something so i'm not sure how that works but anyway). Venari Seedsmith is almost a fourth, but you could probably orchestrate a monster death before they'd be hit by the Earthquake, so odds are decent the Seedsmith survives. 6 monsters without Flying, including Seedsmith, have abilities that help themselves or their team survive the Earthquake ruleset: Protect, Shield, Tank Heal, Strengthen, Life Leech, and Scavenger. there are 3 larger minions that probably don't care very much about the Earthquake damage, and finally some weirdos like Exploding Rats and Venari Heatsmith--i'm glad i don't have to think about Amplify in Bronze League. so will Earthquake be more of a thing in months to come? am i seeing a pattern here or am i up past my bedtime? finally, i'm viewing all of this with my decidedly Bronze goggles on. i've dipped into Silver and Gold and it was strange but recognizable. the arcane wizardry of Diamond+ is far beyond me at this time.
