Battle Commentary / Strategy:

Watch the battle video first to get a sneak peak about my strategy.


All cards are common in rarity and fights against a common enemy as well.

My battle is against a fire splinter enemy, the summoner boost their allies speed, so first attack is coming from their side. My summoner only removes 1 HP from enemy cards, since they all have melee and ranged attacks, the summoner ability to remove magic attack does not work.

Round 1
Fire Elemental hits Crypt Beetle and removes its shield, next Serpentine Spy kills Death Badger.
Death Elemental uses Snipe on Fire Elemental because he is not in first position and makes him a one hit wonder goner. Next attack by Silent Sha-Vi with a sneaky hit ruins Serpentine Spy's life.

Living Lava finally hits Crypt Beetle and sends it to hell, round 1 ends here.

Round 2
In this round Silent Sha-Vi faces Living Lava, but it is Death Elemental who hits first and weakens Living Lava, then Silent Sha-Vi slashed Living Lava and reduced his shield armor to 1 since LL is using Shield ability similar to Crypt Beetle.

Round 3
Now another magic attach by Death Elemental reduced Living Lava's HP to 3, and then Silent Sha-Vi removes his Shield, but takes 2 damages and moans for his life.

Round 4
Death Elemental keeps Living Lava at bay and reduces his life to 2 HP, but then Silent Sha-Vi gives another sneaky hit and Living Lava finished Silent Sha-Vi.

Round 5
Death Elemental has a good speed advantage, so it throws a magic ball into Living Lava's face, it is a conclusive blow and battle ends here. A win comes in the name of Lord Shah.

Putting the Crypt Beetle in first position made it hard for the enemy to reduce my team size, first round I lost two monsters, but it helped me reduce enemy lineup in 2nd round.

My strategy worked liked a charm, putting a low HP card in fist place consumed enemies turns, and I had a nice position to clean enemy's backline.

Is Crypt Beetle Good or Bad for Battle Strategy?

Yes, Crypt Beetle is good for battle at higher levels, say from level 6 as it gains good HP, although Mana remains unchanged, which is actually fine and can be managed to place the card even with low Mana battles, this battle lineup was set up with 18 Mana.

Do share your battle strategies in comments section. Thanks for watching the video and reading my post.

Whoever is directly controlling the V2K told me to kill myself.
They told me if I killed myself now it would save the lives of countless others.
Saying the longer I wait to kill myself the more people will suffer.


They are reckless and should have shown the proper media what they had before taking me hostage for 5 years. I know there are many in prison that dont deserve to be there because of this. Your stay in prison will not be fun @battleaxe and friends. People are going to want you dead when they find out what you did. I hope you die a slow painful death. You sick mother fuckers.

Its a terrorist act on American soil while some say its not real or Im a mental case. Many know its real. This is an ignored detrimental to humanity domestic and foreign 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?
