I really like the suggestion of some players to use Earth. With this lineup, it allowed me to quickly get to Bronze 3. Unfortunately, I don't have too much time to play and just play occasionally for blogging content as I have to juggle between school, work, and blogging. However, Unicorn Mustang proved a really great tank to use for Earth and Obsidian works as there's a lot of monsters in Earth that has magic damage as well.

Unicorn Mustang's stats also feels too strong as not only he has high health but high speed and damage making him a very good all around card.

Lore


The wild brown Unicorns of Anumün contrast the white Unicorns of Khymeria in many ways. Unicorn Mustangs travel in herds, while Sacred Unicorns are only seen alone. The brown Unicorns are not considered sacred like the white, but they are still protected from hunt and slaughter by a superstitious stigma that no Lyverian dares challenge. When approached in the wild, Unicorn Mustangs act as though anyone and everyone but fellow Unicorns are their enemies.


Should I Buy or Rent?

This is the price of the card as of this writing.

Unlike the rental price, the buying price for Unicorn Mustang is quite high. The reasoning I can get here is because many players try to buy the card for leveling up. This resulted on a good price for selling the card at a little over $8.

This is the rental price of the card as of this writing.

Unicorn Mustang's rent is unbelievably low for a really great tank. This may be because you can use him for free and there's only few people renting the card. If there's few who rents, then the supply is high making the rental price really low.


Card Stats and Abilities



Stats.jpg

As I mentioned, Unicorn Mustang's stats are unfairly high especially for 8 mana. Not only he has a great ability but also has high speed allowing Unicorn Mustang to not only attack first but also avoid most of the damage. His 3 melee damage is nothing to be scoffed at as well and is quite high for a tank. He's a really good all rounder especially for an older version of the card.


Void halves magic damage (rounded up), except attack 1 which deals 0 damage.
Magic Reflect deals magic damage back to the attacker equivalent to the attacker's damage divided by 2, rounded up. The damage is reflected even if the attacker does not hit.
Piercing happens when Melee or Ranged attack damage is in excess of the target's Armor, the remainder will damage the target's Health.

Unicorn Mustang has an innate ability called Void at level 1 which halves all magic damage making it useful in mirror matches.
By level 5, he unlocks Magic Reflect, which returns a portion of the damage done by a magic attack back to the attacker.
By level 8, Unicorn Mustang then unlocks Piercing ability. Piercing allows the excess damage to armor gets inflicted to the target's health making it an effective counter to cards such as Kelya Frendul, Chaos Legion's summoner for Water and cards with Protect abilities.


Battle Review


Positioning.jpg

With the blessing from Obsidian, I ran a three man (or woman) team of Unicorn Mustang, Xenith Archer and Khmer Princess. The only thing worth noting of my opponent's lineup is the use of a 0 mana cost card called, "Furious Chicken." According to a player I've talked to, they normally do this as a way to block the first attack like an extra armor for their main tank.

Round 1


Round 1 End.jpg

Round 1 marks the end for Furious Chicken. This is a good move though as it saves a hit from my Unicorn Mustang effectively absorbing 3 damage this turn.

Round 2


Round 2 2-6.jpg

My Khmer Princess gets Sniped by Child of the Forest and after 2 rounds, it resulted on her death.

Round 3


Round 3 6-6.jpg

The death of my opponent's Unicorn Mustang was confirmed by the end of round 6. However my team goes dangerously low at 4 and 1 health respectively for Unicorn Mustang and Xenith Archer.

Round 4


Round 4 4-4.jpg

Round 4 claims multiple lives as my opponent's Khmer Princess dies from Unicorn Mustang as well as Xenith Archer's from Child of the Forest's attacks.

Round 5


Round 5 1-2.jpg

Due to Child of the Forest's inability to attack when in first position due to him being a range monster, Unicorn Mustang claims his life resulting on my victory for this game.

The people doing V2K with remote neural monitoring want me to believe this lady @battleaxe is an operator. She is involved deeply with her group and @fyrstikken . Her discord is Battleaxe#1003. I cant prove she is the one directly doing the V2K and RNM. Doing it requires more than one person at the least. It cant be done alone. She cant prove she is not one of the ones doing it. I was drugged in my home covertly, it ended badly. They have tried to kill me and are still trying to kill me. I bet nobody does anything at all. Ask @battleaxe to prove it. I bet she wont. They want me to believe the V2K and RNM in me is being broadcast from her location. And what the fuck is "HOMELAND SECURITY" doing about this shit? I think stumbling over their own dicks maybe? Just like they did and are doing with the Havana Syndrome.

They are reckless and should have shown the proper media what they had before taking me hostage for 5 years.

What would you say while having a gun pointed at your head from an undisclosed location? Have people find it? My hands are tied while they play like children with a gun to my head. Its a terrorist act on American soil while some yawn and say its not real or Im a mental case. Many know its real. This is an ignored detrimental to humanity domestic threat. Ask informed soldiers in the American military what their oath is and tell them about the day you asked me why. Nobody has I guess. Maybe someone told ill informed soldiers they cant protect America from military leaders in control with ill intent. How do we protect locked up soldiers from telling the truth? https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism
