Splinterlands BATTLE CHALLENGE - DRAGONS - Rented Quix --> Broken Arrows Only

Dragon focus sounds all fun and easy, but wait until you get spammed by the magic cheese without any countermeasure. Well, magic cheese is hella broken anyways.

I spent a whopping 15 DEC on a legendary summoner for this focus, which turned out to be a moderate desaster. Although it's been a pain, I managed to earn 5 silver chests that might actually be the best ones I ever pulled...

Pack

Opening Service

It seems like everybody's doing spl giveaways now and I would like to offer something unique to you guys! So, I've been thinking about this for a while now and I need some input to see if it's just a crackpot idea or if people would actually be interested in such a thing.
As you sure know, everyone is receiving those lotions from reward chests that are consumed at pack openings to double your chances for a goldfoil or legendary card. Most people might be annoyed by them, but if you start opening some packs, they get consumed quite fast and you may have to spend some money to buy more of 'em, which can become quite costly. Right now a set of lotion for one pack cost $.45, which is about 10-15 % of the pack value, but you definitely don't want to miss out on the increased chance for shiny leggo.
As I'm not opening up many packs and are not planning on doing large numbers in the forseable future, I figured I might as well help others out with my stack of lotions that have been piling up since Untamed ran out. As they are not transferable and I can't give them away like any other asset, one would have to send me the packs and I would open them in a weekly video or something and then send the cards back to the owner.
Let me know if anybody was interested, so I can maybe incorporate it into my giveaways!

Rules

of Battle

I played a total of 30 minutes and 10 games, 3 of which had the BROKEN ARROW ruleset and one even the SILENCED SUMMONER, which rendered Quix kinda pointless in 40% of the matches.
At least I managed to unlock a total of 5 focus chests, which is pretty decent in my opinion.
I picked this particular match to showcase the use of the FLYING ability on Brighton Bloom, as the Quix games felt super lame. It's not helping against the poison, but we can fix that with the right monsters.

The Lineup

to beat them all

Such a nice choice in EARTHQUAKE matches, as it allows you to play anything you want without worrying about the tremor damage. Also consider it gives all your monsters a 25% dodge chance against non-flying melee and ranged opponents!

Everytime earth splinter is not greyed out, I run into the magic cheese. The VOID helps a little bit with eating up the damage and keep the backline save. Actually became much more usefull with the new earth summoner.

My recent aquisition. With the right summoner I can even play level 4 with the AFFLICTION ability.
Actually not the best idea playing this card with the damage each round, but at higher levels it is kinda tanky and it keeps your guys alive for a little longer.

In the back I like to put another healer that just stays there, heals the poison damage and survives until everyone else died. Works like a charm most of the times, unless the opponent goes for sneak.

The chicken is trolling in the back and serves as cannonfodder for the sneaky.

Battle

analysis and recap

Many of the games are unwinable as dragon summoners don't counter magic, but with the earthquake ruleset there is a window for success.
See, most of the magic cheesers do not care about the earthquake and poison damage and rely on their insane damage to kill you before the farts and shockwaves kill them. It's almost ridiculous how well that works, as well as how well it works against magic debuffs and magic reflect, but that's a different story.
My plan was to keep my monsters in the backline alive and just wait, enduring the tremor in a defensive state. They used all their attacks on the frontline, which meant my Monk in the back was chilling and healing until the game was over. EZ PZ!
The FARTY FUMES ruleset makes it even better, as Mycelia is not as helpful in this scenario.
