Lineup

Splinter	Mana Cost	Position	Reason
Thaddius Brood	4	Summoner	Planned to use life leech to stack some health points
Cursed Windeku	6	1st	A great tank with the thorn ability,
Venari Bonesmith	4	2nd	The reason why I choose Thaddius, since it has a no sneak and sniper rule, bonesmith should be safe
Total Mana:	14

My battle in a nutshell!

Round 1

Holy Shit! ~~~ 🤯 When I saw his lineup I am like omg ... another epic lost

Round 2

Well, my bonesmith is totally useless now. The void dragon is a flier and speed 5 ... my Windeku is going to miss a lot.

Round 3

Hopeless ... why am I even writing this ...

Last Round

During the entirely the match, I did not even manage to damage his lineup.

- End of Story -

What I should have done instead

Hmmm, this is a tough question. honestly, I can't think of any alternatives with my current deck. Maybe if I could get hold of Legionnaire Alvar I could counter his lineup, but sadly I don't own one.

Void Dragon is he a nice to have?

Okay, I guess here comes the question is Void Dragon a must have?

Let's look at the bronze tier with a rare summoner. Void Dragon is the only one with the ability flying and void. Wow.

Moving on ... at silver league with a rare summoner. Gargoya Lion joins the team of having flying and void but it has a lower speed than Void Dragon but has the same effective health points against melee and range.

And lastly looking at the gold league with the rare summoner, We have Dark Ha'on and Phantom Soldier joining the pool. Both have higher effective health points than the Void Dragon but their speed is still slower. Look like in terms of priority void dragon is much faster because he is

1. Speed 5
2. Magic Damage
3. Legendary

The above comparison is compared as a wild format and if you look closer most of the cards are in modern format.

Here's a quick glance at the ruleset
