Lira the Dark is a magnificent contribution to your Death Splinter Speed Team.

As you are about to notice in this Battle of the day, Lira the Dark provides extra speed AND takes care of the soft middle part of the backline of your opponent with her Opportunity.

At around 25$ for a level three legendary card, it's almost a crime not to purchase the Gold Foil version instead. Alas, I don't have that kind of money lying around these days, and the regular version did the trick alright.

Now for the entire team line-up, I chose these five cards together with the Legendary Dragon Summoner Quix the Devious.

1. Runner-up start of the show, Riftwing is one of the absolute most undervalued cards, doing no active damage but holding out, fast as a jet, increasing life with every other death, minimizing ranged attacks, and Backfiring. And the weird thing is, it only costs just under 25$ at level 8.
   
2. Silent Sha-vi at level 8 is fast, hits the backline from behind, and takes out a max life at a time. Very cheap card as well at just under 30$.
   
3. Lira the Dark - Star of the show - bringing a little fairy dust to the party.
   
4. Support Runner is fast, provides extra Speed, and is, in general, a cheap, undervalued Chaos Legion Card running up to around 25$ for a level 8.
   
5. Naga Assassin is fast and deadly when missed through the Backfire ability. She is also rather cheap - or even free - as a reward card given out for playing the game. Thank you #Splinterlands 😍 🤑
   

I know, not very polite - that picture... But I really enjoyed watching my opponent getting eradicated so fast. Kind of fun, right?

If you have to watch one battle today, trying to learn new tactics, this Blasted Speed Battle is a way to master the Blast Ruleset against a much more expensive opponent. I haven't looked up the prices of the opposing team, but a Level three "Ruler of the Sea" alone is worth more than my entire back-line.

So don't come crying to me about this being a Pay-to-Win game, cause it is not. It is most definitely a "Pay-to-earn" AND "Invest-to-earn".

It is when you put those two together - and learn how to play well - that you really start to reap the benefits from your gaming desires.
