SHARE YOUR BATTLE Weekly Challenge! CARNAGE TITAN

This post is an entry to the SHARE YOUR BATTLE Weekly Challenge! DRAGONS!

He was called Holicrai the Magnificent and without doubt, he was the finest Gloridax guardian in the history of the land. He was as feared as some of the dragons that lived on Dragon’s Roost. The people of Draykh-Nahka would sing songs about him, and the ancient scholars would say that the sagas told about him didn’t do him justice. When he passed to the other side, they took his armor and displayed it in the Warrior’s Hall, deep within the Centrum. His bones were laid to rest in the Guardian’s Chapel on the far side of the city, a shrine open to the people so they might pay their respects for all he had done.

It cost Morloth, the crazed tinker, not a single penny to acquire the armor. The Chaos Legion had brought it to him, together with a long, thick bone from the chapel’s tomb – probably the femur he guessed. He didn’t ask them how they’d come by it, and the strange man that conveyed the delivery was most peculiar indeed. He wore a long black coat and top hat, with a bizarre beaked mask and shimmering green amulet about his neck, carrying a lantern that pierced the night. He spoke to himself as much as he did to Morloth, and by the end of their conversation, the tinker wasn’t sure who he was more afraid of, the entire Chaos Legion that had descended upon the land, or this one strange man that was standing before him.

Using the green crystals that he’d fuelled the Disintegrator with, Morloth set to work hammering away at the pieces of armor and fusing parts of the bone to the metal. Night passed into morning, as he sharpened its metal fingers into deadly claws, each one as long as his forearm. Then daylight came and went, the cycle repeating until he had lost complete track of time. He took sips of water from the various flasks that littered his workshop, and when the paltry reserves of food ran out, he chewed upon the green crystals themselves, sucking the energy from them. Partway through his labors, Morloth had to drag his creation from the workshop and set a canvas tent outside to continue, so big was the masterpiece. When it was time to attach the head, he rolled the lump of metal across the ground and fused it to the shoulders. Finally, he started work on the impressive helm that would conceal the giant green crystal that fuelled the creation’s mind and body.

When finished, Morloth collapsed in a state of complete exhaustion. He awoke later to find that his creation was gone. The terrible Carnage Titan had come to life and left him whilst he slept. He never did learn where his golem had gone, but then, nor did he discover how fortunate he was that it didn’t tear him to pieces before it left.

Overview

Carnage Titan is a high mana (11) Dragon melee monster with very high damage potential. Double Strike is always a strong ability, at Level 3 it got a shield so the only weakness is against the magic. With reach ability it is an ideal second tank monster.

Stats

Abilities	Level	Description
1	REACH	Melee attack Monsters with the Reach ability may attack from the second position on the team
1	DOUBLE STRIKE	Monster attacks twice each round.
3	SHIELD	Reduced damage from Melee and Ranged attacks

Market prices

Nowadays it is a cheaper legendary card. The gold foil version is more expensive than a regular foil level 3 version, so I am not recommended it.

The level 1 version is very cheap to rent but the other levels are still cheap too. Not a good card for renting out.

The Battle

Battle Rulesets	Description	Info
EQUALIZER	The initial Health of all Monsters is equal to that of the Monster on either team with the highest base Health.	Don't use high HP monsters and focus on high damage. Try to use a lot of monsters as well. Having a Tank Heal, Thorns, Triage for defense helps a lot.
FIRE & REGRET	All Monsters have the Return Fire ability.	-

Lineup

It was a high mana high health game. Only death and dragon were available, so the choice was easy.

Card	Strategy
	Quix the Devious - My only available max level dragon summoner, so it was not a high decision.
	Djinn Chwala - I think it is a very strong card with thorns and good stats, ideal tank especially if enemy not use too many magic monsters.
	Carnage Titan - My monster of the week. Fantastic second tank with reach and double strike. Can beat easily the enemy tank.
	Void Dragon - I think it is an undervalued card, with very good speed, flying and phase can dodge a lot of attacks.
	Dhampir Infiltrator - Another double strike attacker with poison, this is a nice combination.
	Uraeus - The best natural monster from the current reward edition. Also can do some poison.
	Chaos Dragon - The big dragon with magic and blast damage with a combination of a random attacks, he was my DPS of the game.

Battle - Replay

Did your strategy work? What will you try differently next time?

My enemy uses a similar team as mine, but the few differences were on my side. Void Dragon was the key, it dodge a lot of damage and gave me victory. Let's see my winning chance:

Battle Results

Do you like CARNAGE TITAN!? Why or why not?

Yes, I like it. In high-mana dragon games (especially the magic is not allowed) very good off-tank. Can do and also can survive a lot of damage. I would prefer regular foil over gold foil, it has a better price/value ratio.
