SHARE YOUR BATTLE Weekly Challenge! LEGIONNAIRE ALVAR - Gold Foil

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

“Do you wish to serve?”

Alvar Veralyn glared at the two prisoners kneeling before him, a dwarf and an elf. His plate armor gleamed beneath the harsh glare of the sun, and his massive sword ran red with blood. His Chaos Legionnaires stood in a rough circle around their general and the prisoners. The corpses of the fallen littered the plains of the battlefield.

The dwarf raised her chin defiantly. “No, I would rather—”

Alvar swung his sword. The dwarf's head hit the dirt, and the elf let out a little shriek as the lifeless body fell forward with a thump.

Alvar turned to the elf. “Do you wish to serve?”

“Yes.” the elf said at once, then louder, “Yes!”

Alvar gave a nod, and his Chaos Legionnaires grabbed the elf by the arms, hauled him to his feet, and led him away to begin his conditioning and his training.

Overview

Check my general opinion here: SHARE YOUR BATTLE Weekly Challenge! LEGIONNAIRE ALVAR Gold foil version has +1 Damage and Giant Killer ability by default, that is a huge improvement from level 1.

Stats

Abilities	Level	Description
VOID ARMOR	1	Magic attacks hit this Monster's armor before its Health
GIANT KILLER	2	Does double damage against targets that cost 10 or more mana
DEMORALIZE	3	Reduces the Melee attack of all enemy Monsters
DEATHBLOW	4	This Monster does 2x damage if their target is the only Monster left on the enemy team

Market prices

Gold Foil surcharge is huge, you get this version for 36$ almost as the same price as a max level regular foil version!

The gold foil version is not a good card for renting out.

The Battle

Battle Rulesets	Description	Info
HEAVY HITTERS	All Monsters have the Knock Out ability.	Use a monster with Stun ability. There is a 50% chance that your monster with Stun will be able to stun enemy monsters, but if successful, all your monsters will deal double damage to that stunned opponent.
EARTHQUAKE	Non-flying Monsters take 2 Melee damage at the end of each round.	Using monsters with Flying or Heal is the trick for this ruleset, but if you are unable to choose such monsters, use monsters that have high HP and high damage. Don't keep heal units up front. Shield has a very important role. Using Brighton Bloom as summoner can help in this ruleset. Keep monsters with Flying in last positions when Earthquake has done enough damage to both sides.

Lineup

It was a high mana Earthquake game. The main problem was I had no good Fire or Death monsters.

Card	Strategy
	Lux Vega - My other available max level summoner, but I should select Quix instead of Lux, cause I have some good dragon card and most of them have flying.
	Legionnaire Alvar - Monster of the week, good fit to here.
	Arkemis the Bear - Another solid choice, big tank, but can work in as on off tank, thanks to armor support.
	Gargoya Devil - One of my high-level natural card with flying.
	Lava Launcher - My other high-level usable reward card.
	Cornealus - Most of the time it is a good backline monster, but I need the rent a higher version of it.
	Scavo Hireling - Good backline monster for support my armor team.
