Supply Runner.

This is a handy little card. I only discovered it recently enough and maxed it out as part of my chaos legion challenge but it's one that i tend to use a lot since then.

It's a neutral ranged monster that adds health and speed to the mix.

Starting line-up

With unprotected meaning that I have no shields for the match and a limited choice of summoner I went with a water splinter. It's not my first choice but it is also the quest for the day which i wanted to hit.

I set up Almo Cambio as the tank for it's magic and ranged reflect abilities. Since there is no armor in this one it is a good card to have up front.

First kill..

I was lucky on this one but we both left our last card very unprotected. The opponent had a very strong lineup but it really played into my hands in this match.

Lord of the seas is not a card to leave exposed and with a magic reflect and a sneak from my sand worm it was taken out in round one. Not a good result.

In this match itself using the Supply runner card didn't really benefit my team whatso ever and was killed straight after. again a low mana card left exposed to sneak attacks.

Round three.

It was a tough match against a highly rated opponent but they made a few rookie mistakes that gave me the win. They left the attack a bit short with having two tanks in position one and two. Then they put a powerful dragon in position 3 but it couldn't use it's attack from there except for a single shot of magic???

It hurt their line up but the biggest stroke of luck that i had in selection was using Captains Ghost who has both anti-helaing and double damage to zero attack monsters. In another match this team would probably have soaked up all of the attacks but in this one it worked out nicely for me.

Finishing line-up.

I managed to finish strongly because of these few reasons and won the battle. Against a slightly different team i probably wouldn't have but this was one to enjoy.

I'll take the win whatever way that it comes but the main lesson taken from this is that supply runner needs protection at the back to be useful.

I still like the card but this wasn't the battle for it and i could have won a lot easier with a different option in last position.

Try for yourself.

If you haven't played the game before then now is the best time to join. Today is much better than tomorrow and a lot better than later.
