SHARE YOUR BATTLE Weekly Challenge! CURSED WINDEKU - Gold Foil
This post is an entry to the SHARE YOUR BATTLE Weekly Challenge! CURSED WINDEKU
“I heard it again... that rustle of brush in the darkness of the forest. No mistaking it now. Something was stalking us.
I picked up my pace and urged Grewa to do the same. We hurried through the trees toward the inn. I could hear her panting behind me. Something howled then, but not like a wolf. Like a man who has gone mad with hunger.
I lost it. I ran. Ran as fast as my legs could carry me. And when I stumbled and fell and got up again, I realized I was alone. No sound of Grewa. No footfalls or heavy breath.
I rose to my feet and walked slowly back the way we'd come. I heard a sound. A wet, tearing sound. And in the middle of trees, not twenty yards away, I saw Grewa. And I saw it.
The beast was gaunt, its skin pulled tight over its bones. It was the ash-gray color of death, with sunken eyes, like a corpse recently risen from the grave, and twisted horns. And the smell. Oh, gods, the smell.
Its lips were tattered and bloody. It was Grewa's blood. It had torn her open and was feasting on her guts. And she... she was still moving. She let out a little whimper.
And I turned and I ran until I saw your light burning in the distance, and I kept running until I burst through the door.”
The man downed the rest of his tankard of ale and stared into the empty mug. The other patrons of the inn shifted in their seats.
“He's making it up,” one said.
“He's drunk,” said another.
The room burst into laughter. Conversations resumed. The man continued staring into his ale.
From somewhere in the dark of night outside rose a mad and hungry howl.
Overview
To see my general opinion about this card let see here: SHARE YOUR BATTLE Weekly Challenge! CURSED WINDEKU - Regular Foil. Gold foil version has better health by default, what is always a good thing.
Stats
| Abilities | Level | Description |
|---|---|---|
| THORNS | 1 | When hit with a Melee attack, does damage back to the attacker |
| HEAL | 5 | Restores a portion of the Monster's health each round |
| SLOW | 8 | Reduces the Speed of all enemy Monsters |
Market prices
As most of the gold foil rare cards, this version is almost 10x more expensive than the regular version.
It has average renting potential, little better than regular foil.
The Battle
| Battle Rulesets | Description | Info |
|---|---|---|
| SPREADING FURY | All Monsters have the Enrage ability. | Increase Melee attack and Speed when damaged. Values are multiplied by 1.5 and rounded up. Prefer Melee monsters with Sneak, and Opportunity in the back row. |
Lineup
It was a mid-man game with Enrage.
| Card | Strategy |
|---|---|
 | Lux Vega - My ultimate max level summoner, most of the games she is a good fit. |
 | Cursed Windeku - Monster of the Week. Good fit to this game. |
 | Xenith Monk - Honestly I didn't know why put it him to my team, maybe I hope that with engage he can live for a whole game? |
 | Revealer - Very good reward card with stun and magic attack, I used it a lot. |
 | Venari Bonesmith - Life leach is not a bad combination with enrage and poison is an additional benefit. |
 | Venari Spellsmith - Dispel can eliminate the enrage effect, so I hoped I could benefit from it, but it is not live enaugh. |
 | Gargoya Devil - I wanted to put some more psychical damage into the game so I selected this monster. |
Battle - Replay
Did your strategy work? What will you try differently next time?
However it was an 50-50 game, I unfortunately lost.
I should use a different monster instead of the Monk:

Do you like gold foil CURSED WINDEKU? Why or why not?
As most of the time, the regular foil is much cheaper so I still support a higher-level version of it. The renting potential is not as much different to worth it.
