Buying a new card “Lord Thanalor” in the Splinterlands game
Buying a new card “Lord Thanalor” in the Splinterlands game and winning the first battle
In the online blockchain gaming world, Splinterlands is a game where strategy, card collection, team setup, and combat skills all combine to create a different level of experience. Daily battles, testing new cards, and creating battle plans—all in all, it is an extraordinary competitive gameplay. The biggest moment of excitement for me today was buying a new powerful card and achieving the first victory using that card. The card is called—Lord Thanalor.
Since buying this card, I had the idea that it would add a different kind of power to my battle team. In reality, the joy increased when I went into battle and fulfilled that expectation. So in today's blog, I am sharing—why I decided to buy the card, what its power and ability are, and how it brought me victory in the first battle.
Decision to buy a new card: Why did I choose Lord Thanalor?
Each card in Splinterlands has its own characteristics stats abilities. For a long time I had noticed that some battles my team lacked a strong support defensive power. Among them Lord Thanalor caught my eye.
The main Strength of the card that attracted me:
10 Health — the ability to continue the battle for a long time
2 Armor — great for preventing the first hit
4 Speed — increases the chance of attacking yourself before the opponent attacks
3 Magic Attack — magic attacks penetrate armor and deal damage directly to health
Powerful Elf Class
Unusual abilities are unlocked as the level increases
Magic attackers have a special importance in Splinterlands, because their damage goes straight to health. Lord Thanalor is just that kind of card. All in all, I understood — this card will add a new dimension to my team's battle power.
Battle layout: Where is Lord Thanalor placed?
After buying the card, I decided — I will play battles using it today. I formed the team considering the mana limit, ruleset, and possible cards of the opponent.
The team structure was as follows:
A strong tank in the frontline
A magic attacker and support in the middle
A speed buffer and damage dealer in the back
Lord Thanalor was placed in the middle positions where he could safely deal magic damage to the opponent's backline or tank
The main purpose of this setup was—Lord Thanalor would constantly create pressure with magic damage, regardless of the opponent's armor.
The beginning of the battle: The card's impact in the first round
As soon as the battle started, the impact of Lord Thanalor's speed and magic attack was visible. The opponent had a card that was used as a tank with strong armor. But since Lord Thanalor is magic, he started to directly hit health.
Two key points were evident in the first round—
Continuity of magic damage
Long-term survival due to high health
As a result, it became clear—this card was not only beneficial in attack, but also in increasing the stability of the match for the entire team.
Mid-stage round: Revealing the true power of Lord Thanalor
The two most important aspects of this card were seen in the second and third rounds—
⭐ 1. Breaking the opponent's backline
The backline cards quickly became weak due to magic damage.
⭐ 2. Supporting the team
As long as Lord Thanalor was alive, the attack calculation of the entire team changed. Magic damage coordinated the attacks of the remaining cards in such a way that the opponent quickly collapsed.
Final stage: Securing victory
My team became even stronger when the opponent's tank completely collapsed towards the end of the match. Lord Thanalor was still healthy and was dealing magic damage continuously. As a result, the opponent's last two cards were quickly knocked out of the fight and I secured victory.
When “VICTORY!” appeared on the screen, I realized—investing in this card was indeed the right decision.
The reward I received at the end of the battle
I not only gained satisfaction and confidence from this victory, but also—
+20 rating points
Reaching Silver III level
+173 Glint in-game reward
0.413 SPS
And the opportunity to claim the Daily Challenge Reward
All of these things made the battle experience of the day even more exciting.
Lord Thanalor is truly a Game-Changing Card
Today's entire battle convinced me that Lord Thanalor's presence fundamentally elevates the strength of a team to a new level. Especially with magic attacks, high health, armor, and speed—all in all, it is a balanced and powerful card.
