Card Analysis #15: Crystal Werewolf [EN - ESP]
Hello again, for another week, to the series analysing cards in the @splinterlands universe. My contribution to this week's Social Media Challenge is the analysis of a card that is already a veteran in the game and belongs to the life deck. This week is Crystal Werewolf, a card that is a good antidote to those Magic-heavy decks we encounter on the battlefield more often than we'd like. Let's get to it with this new review. Let's get started.
Hola de nuevo, una semana más, a la serie analizando cartas dentro del universo @splinterlands. Mi aporte al Social Media Challenge de esta semana es el análisis de una carta que ya es veterana dentro del juego y que pertenece al mazo de vida. Esta semana llega el análisis de Crystal Werewolf. Una carta que es un buen antídoto para esos mazos plagados de cartas mágicas que nos encontramos en el campo de batalla con más frecuencia de lo que nos gustaría. Vamos con este nuevo análisis. Comenzamos.
Crystal Werewolf is a rare card that has very specific playability and fits into almost any available summoning mana situation. And with a cost of only 3 points and a special ability like Silence at its initial level, it will provide us with multiple solutions for our strategies It has a melee attack point and cannot attack from the second line. But this is not a problem as the main idea of using Crystal Werewolf is to reduce the magic attack of all cards in the opponent's line-up.
Crystal Werewolf es una carta rara que tiene una jugabilidad muy concreta y que nos cabe casi en cualquier situación de maná de invocación disponible. Y es que con un coste de solo 3 puntos y una habilidad especial como Silence ya en su nivel inicial nos va a aportar múltiples soluciones para nuestras estrategias. Cuenta con un punto de ataque cuerpo a cuerpo y no puede atacar desde la segunda línea. Pero esto no es un problema ya que la idea principal de utilizar a Crystal Werewolf es reducir el ataque mágico de todas las cartas de la alineación rival.
This is not a card that gains a lot of power as it evolves. In fact, it's only going to add one point of attack, two points of speed and three points of vitality It doesn't improve too much, but it does so in a useful way, since what we need from Crystal Werewolf is that it can last as long as possible on the battlefield. As for her special abilities, in addition to Silence at level 1, she will gain Thorns at level 5 and will also punish melee attack cards at that level of evolution.
No estamos ante una carta que gane mucho poder con su evolución. De hecho apenas va a sumar un punto de ataque, dos de velocidad y tres de vitalidad. No mejora en exceso pero si que lo hace de manera util ya que lo que necesitamos de Crystal Werewolf es que aguante lo máximo posible en el campo de batalla. En cuanto a sus habilidades especiales, además de Silence en el nivel 1 va a obtener Thorns a partir del nivel 5 y castigará también a las cartas con ataque cuerpo a cuerpo a partir de ese nivel de evolución.
As explained in the previous section, Crystal Werewolf does not ostensibly improve his offensive abilities He will not improve his melee attack by more than one point, nor does he gain any special offensive cutting abilities. But that's not what we need from this card either. It is an eminently defensive card and especially useful for magic attack, so improving its vitality and gaining another defensive ability like Thorns are two aspects that fit perfectly with the playability of the card analysed this week.
Como explico en el apartado anterior, Crystal Werewolf no mejora de manera ostensible sus habilidades ofensivas. No va a mejorar más que un punto su ataque cuerpo a cuerpo y tampoco obtiene habilidades especiales de corte ofensivo. Pero tampoco es lo que necesitamos de esta carta. Es una carta eminentemente defensiva y de especial utilidad para el ataque mágico por lo que la mejora en su vitalidad y ganar otra habilidad defensiva como es Thorns son dos aspectos que cuadran a la perfección con la jugabilidad de la carta analizada esta semana.

Three cards with melee attack and three cards with magic attack are placed on the battlefield by my opponent this week. I've fallen into the trap that I place with a really powerful tank and with Crystal Werewolf on his back reducing his magic attack. On this occasion the previous scouting and the strategy raised according to it are vital to give me an interesting victory in the Silver league in which I have decided to stay until I can improve my decks to gold level.
Tres cartas con ataque cuerpo a cuerpo y otras tantas con ataque mágico coloca sobre el campo de batalla mi rival de esta semana. Ha caído en la trampo que coloco con un tanque realmente poderoso y con Crystal Werewolf a su espalda reduciendo su ataque mágico. En esta ocasión el scouting previo y la estrategia planteada acorde a ello son vitales para darme una interesante victoria en la liga de Plata en la que he decidido quedarme a la espera de que pueda mejorar mis mazos a nivel oro.
| Card | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Franz Ruffmane | Soulbound Summoner with the mission to be able to use a Gladius card in my lineup. Captain Katie will be the chosen one and part of a strategy with Venari Marksrat and Iziar in the middle of my line-up. |
| Drybone Barbarian | Level 5 for a tank that hits really hard with five melee attack points and also has the ability to return incoming attacks. One of the most interesting tanks in the current state of the game. |
| Crystal Werewolf | The star. |
| Iziar | A legendary card with two magic attack points that also centralises all opposing attacks and reduces incoming magic damage. Iziar's presence gives me a good advantage for the rest of the line-up to especially damage opposing cards. |
| Venari Marksrat | If you see Venari Marksrat in the lineup, you already know the goal: have it die and its two adjacent cards benefit from its Martyr ability. There's no more. |
| Captain Katie | Captain Katie has three magic attack points and Snipe ability. All those cards hidden in the middel of the rival's line-up will suffre his fury. |
| Djinn Renova | Djinn Renova is that card that we all have and that, even so, we all use and we almost always get great performance from it. Very useful letter totally underrated. |
Another interesting letter analyzed. Of course, we cannot lose sight of the fact that the gameplay of Crystal Werewolf means that it is not useful in all conditions. It will shine especially when the opponent has a strategy based on magic attack. Instead, having only three points of summon cost means that we can use it in any situation and available restriction of summon mana. Overall, I give it a grade of 6 out of 10. That if, in the ideal conditions analyzed and mentioned, it receives a grade of 7.5 out of 10. I hope you found this review useful and I'll see you next week for review number 16 in the series. Enjoy the week!
Otra interesante carta analizada. Eso si, no podemos perder de vista que la jugabilidad de Crystal Werewolf hace que no sea útil en todas las condiciones. Brillará especialmente cuando el rival tenga una estrategia basada en el ataque mágico. En cambio, el tener solo tres puntos de coste de invocación hace que podamos utilizarla en cualquier situación y restricción disponible de maná de invocación. En global le doy una nota de 6 sobre 10. Eso si, en las condiciones ideales analizadas y mencionadas recibe una nota de 7.5 sobre 10. Espero que esta análisis te haya sido de utilizad y nos vemos la próxima semana con el análisis número 16 de la serie. ¡A disfrutar de la semana!
