This week's battle challenge involves Rexxie! Rexxie is an older card but is super fun to use, especially with Trample. Come see it in action!

Rexxie Highlights

Rexxie is an older Alpha/Beta Common card that is a very strong Melee attacker. It starts off with 4 Melee damage, 3 Speed, and 6 Health all at Level 1. That's pretty solid!

Once you get to Level 4, you unlock Trample which means you can't use that Ability until you reach the Silver league.

Icon	Ability Name	Description
	Trample	When a Monster with Trample hits and kills its target, it will perform another attack on the next Monster on the enemy Team

So when do I use Rexxie?

• Rexxie is best used in the rulesets that give Melee a big boost such as Equal Opportunity and Super Sneak
• It's not the greatest tank since it doesn't have Armor, Shield, Void, or Void Armor
• With Trample, you can use it as a tank under the right conditions

This Week's Featured Battle

In this week's featured battle, we have an Obsidian Summoner versus Wizard of Eastwood!

Battle Ruleset

	Stampede	The Trample ability can trigger multiple times per attack if the trampled Monster is killed
	Healed Out	All healing abilities are removed from Monsters and Summoners
	21 Mana	This is considered a low to medium mana battle
	Active Splinters	All Splinters except Water are available

• Stampede
  • Bring out the Trample cards!
  • Remove Armor with Rust if you're looking to Trample your opponent
  • Bulk up with Armor to prevent a Stampede
• Healed Out
  • No healing but you can still Scavenge
  • Magic damage works well since it goes directly to health (except for Void Armor)
  • Prioritize high health cards
• 21 Mana
  • This is a low to medium Mana battle so expect to see a full lineup of monsters

With Stampede, your Trample monster can go on a rampage and take out multiple enemies in one turn! So be aware that you don't get Trampled to death by using Armor or high health cards.

If you want to use Trample, try to remove your opponent's Armor.

Without healing, Magic damage is prioritized since it can take out health directly. Try to fit in some Void or Void Armor if possible.

I went with the Wizard of Eastwood because I really wanted to Trample the whole team. My opponent played a lot of Obsidian and almost always played Queen Mycelia so I may sure to remove that Armor buff that she gives.

With 21 Mana, a lot of the cards will be smaller, low health cards so it was a great time to give Trampling a shot.

The Lineup

Position	Card Image	Card Name	Notes
Summoner		Wizard of Eastwood	Rare Earth Summoner that removes 2 of the enemy Armor. Very critical for Stampede
Pos 1 (tank)		Rexxie	The big guy! The trample can do wonder if this works like I am expecting
Pos 2 (meat shield)		Furious Chicken	Since it has no attack, this is basically a meat shield to help absorb an attack
Pos 3 (attacker/support)		Mycelic Slipspawn	Rexxie has high health but no other abilities to protect him so Slipspawn will draw a lot of firepower away from it
Pos 4 (attacker)		Acid Shooter	With 2 mana left, the Scattershot ability could give me a lucky shot and take out a critical enemy

Let's Battle!

• My opponent went with Obsidian and Queen Mycelia, as I expected. It is a very solid strategy for these rulesets
• My Slipspawn took all the fast damage and allowed my Rexxie to get to work
• First round Stampede!

Did it work?

Yes! My Slipspawn with Taunt took all the damage and allowed my Rexxie to unleash on my opponent. Thankfully, they didn't have any opponents that were faster than Rexxie or with Flying/Dodge. They were also conveniently 5 health or less which led to the perfect Stampede!

Final Thoughts

The Silent Sha-vi is an excellent card at every level. At only $0.11/BCX, it is extremely affordable and should be owned and leveled up by everyone!
