Hello everybody thank you for opening and reading. If you enjoy the read, consider liking this post and if you have any feedback on the writing style please feel free to comment. Seeing how I do not write much I am hoping this turned out to be a quality article.

Section 1: Strategy

Beginning this battle, I noticed that the enemy player had a strong preference to red summoners. Seeing this and knowing that red is best for melee creatures I decided to throw thorns in the front with my dragon Djinn Chawala followed by Sand Worm to take out any archers in the back, he works great when he doesn’t miss. Just to show off a bit I followed Sand Worm with Chaos Dragon; his random strike ability is surprisingly useful for taking out some of the lower health creatures early in the battle. Since Delwyn Dragonscale was the summoner for this battle, I had to follow up with at least one more magical creature and decided on Mycelic Slipspawn to bait away any magic or archers away from my front man, this way the thorns would be in full effect. Zyvax Vuul was used for his raw damage output and Hunter Jarx for his snipe ability which should absolutely never be underestimated especially with 3 damage at level 1.

Section 2: My Favorite Dragons

Djinn Chawala, Chaos Dragon, and Zyvax Vuul may possibly be my favorite cards in the game. While they are expensive mana wise, they are solid battle winners and extremely powerful when used and placed correctly. Paired with a good summoner and a high mana battle a team with all three is nearly impossible to beat, not to mention the art on all three was handled expertly.
