Hello everyone and welcome to the Battle Weekly Challenge. This week the challenge is with Venari Spellsmith, a common Neutral element card with the Dispel ability. This card belongs to the Chaos Legion edition and is part of the Starter cards, so we can use it for free.

In this particular battle we are facing a level 2 Obsidian summoner. A level 2 summoner is very good, since it allows the use of common cards at level 3 and rare cards at level 2. Therefore, the opponent was able to use higher level cards than me so I was a bit at a disadvantage. Nevertheless, let's see the rules, the team and the details of the battle to see who finally won.

Battle Rules

This is a 54 mana battle with "Holy Protection" and "Equalizer" rules. All elements except Life and Water are allowed.

Icon	Name	Description
	Holy Protection	All Monsters have the Divine Shield ability.
	Equalizer	The initial Health of all Monsters is equal to that of the Monster on either team with the highest base Health.

• To benefit as much as possible from the Equalizer and Holy Protection rules, we will try to use as many monsters as possible.

My Lineup

Some time ago, Daria Dragonscale nearly lost her twin brother Delwyn to the Burn that had stricken so many of the scaled. She would have lost him completely, but at his deathbed she hired the services of a dark sorcerer who transferred his soul into a special Heliosoulstone. While he was suspended inside the stone, Daria traveled to the Earth Splinter, where she visited the Flesh Golems in the root of the Elder Tree. With their help, she created a new Golem from fleshy scraps. Delwyn’s soul was transferred into the new Golem, and Daria had her brother back… forever.

Delwyn Dragonscale: I really like this summoner as it gives +1 magic attack to all friendly magic attack monsters and the possibility to combine our cards with other Splinters as it is a dragon Summoner.

Unicorn Mustang: I have chosen Unicorn Mustang as the main tank because I think it is a very complete card for 8 mana. It has a good combination of speed, attack and HP. Its high speed and HP will allow us to attack first, dodge some attacks and resist longer in battle. In addition, his Void ability will also help us to absorb the magical attacks of enemy monsters.

Chaos Dragon: This is an amazing magic attack card that can be used as a second tank due to its high Speed, Armor and HP. Even if its mana cost is high, it's a perfect card for high mana battles.

Void Dragon: Another amazing magic attack card. Void Dragon is fast, has a lot of HP and his abilities allow us to defend ourselves from monsters with melee, magic and ranged attacks. It is a very complete card for only 5 mana. It fits very well with our magic attack team.

Mushroom Seer: I saw that my opponent used a lot of magic attack compositions in his last games, so I decided to use this card that reduces the magic attack of all enemy monsters by -1.

Goblin Psychic: This card will help us to keep our tank alive as long as possible thanks to its Tank Heal ability, which restores a portion of the monster in the first position's health each round. Tank Heal is particularly good in a battle with the "Equalizer" rule, as it restores 1/3 of the max health, rounded up.

Venari Spellsmith When this monster hit an enemy, it clears all positive status effects on that enemy thanks to its Dispel ability. Venari Spellsmith does magic damage, which is very important to avoid opponent's heavily armored monsters. Monsters with magic attack may do damage from any row, since this form of attack ignores the defender’s Armor STAT (damage is applied directly to health). Unless there is a monster with Phase on the enemy's team, magic attack will always hit. There is no miss chance.

Did your strategy work?

I think my strategy worked quite well. I have been able to defeat an opponent with higher level cards relatively easily. No allied monsters were killed in the battle so I think we have been able to counter the adversary's strategy in a successful way. We have also been able to use 6 strong monsters to benefit from the Equalizer and Holy Protection rules as much as possible. So I am happy with the result and the strategy I used.

Do you like Venari Spellsmith?

Yes, I like Venari Spellsmith. Personally, it's not a card I use a lot, but I think it's very strong if we use it in the right battles. Being a neutral card we can use it with different summoners and strategies, which is very powerful. I like to use this card with a summoner that increases magic damage by +1 such as Delwyn Dragonscale, Alric Stormbringer or Obsidian.
