SHARE YOUR BATTLE Weekly Challenge! MYCELIC INFANTRY - Gold Foil

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

Journal from Qui, Merchant from Blue Harbor

Entry 7: Early Afternoon.

“If anyone finds this letter, please, I beg you, flee from this cave and do not linger in the Jade Thicket. Something protects these caverns, the woods outside, perhaps the whole island. My name is Qui. I'm a scribe from Blue Harbor. I took shelter during a rainstorm to protect my latest work Prae Tell, Rumors of Praetoria.”

Entry 8. Mid Afternoon.

“I didn't believe the stories of the Jade Thicket, so I ventured in to add to my book. I swear the trees, mushrooms, and bushes were watching me. It was only after I hunkered in this cave I learned the truth. The plant life is alive. Like alive, alive. It moves. It speaks. It hunts.”

Entry 9. Early Evening.

“Fungus-covered trees blocked the entrance and a few followed me in here, but I hid. They lumbered by, without noticing me. The only thing that remained was strange dust particles. For research purposes, I studied them and placed them in a vial. Silly me for not using gloves but it's perfect for my book! I'm pressing deeper into the cave in hopes of finding another exit.”

Entry 10. Late Evening.

“I've been trekking through these caverns for hours. Or has it been days? Thankfully, I've not seen anymore fungus creatures. They sicken me, but they are fascinating. Being deep beneath the ground for this long has given me a headache. A constant buzzing now resides in my head. To deafen the noise, I've taken to stuffing mushrooms in my ears like a sort of earplug. The strange thing is I can't recall where I found the fungus. There doesn't appear to be any in these caves at all. She told me to do it and I'll listen to her.”

Entry 11. Night.

Dirt and fungus are smeared across the page

Entry 12. Night

“I've decided to abandon my book on Praetoria and focus on writing about Her. Her. Her. Her. Her. Her. My Queen. Our Queen. We are called to the Realm of Silence. We see through Qui eyes. Qui is us, and She is pleased.”

Overview

Check my general opinion here: SHARE YOUR BATTLE Weekly Challenge! MYCELIC INFANTRY - Regular Foil. The gold foil version has a bigger health by default, which is always good.

Stats

Abilities	Level	Description
SHIELD	1	Reduced damage from Melee and Ranged attacks
GIANT KILLER	5	Does double damage against targets that cost 10 or more mana
ENRAGE	8	Has increased Melee attack and Speed when damaged

Market prices

The gold foil version is a cheap card too, but most of the time I would prefer the higher-level regular foil version.

Level 4 has the biggest rent value, but the level 2 is good too, but not as fantastic as the regular foil version.

The Battle

Battle Rulesets	Description	Info
STAMPEDE	The Trample ability can trigger multiple times per attack if the trampled Monster is killed.	Higher HP and speed are the keys in this ruleset. Dispel helps to remove Trample.
EXPLOSIVE WEAPONRY	All Monsters have the Blast ability.	The best strategy is to have fast monsters with Snipe, Sneak, and Opportunity. For defense, Shield and Void will come in handy.

Lineup

It was a low mana blast game. In most of the blast games, I prefer the magic teams.

Card	Strategy
	Obsidian - Magic is always my favorite attack type (especially in blast games). Obsidian has a lot of good magic monsters.
	Mycelic Infantry - Monster of the week. I expect my enemy uses a few magic monsters, but it was not the key.
	Fungus Fiend - I put it for some damage absorb.
	Spirit Hoarder - I have selected mainly the triagle ability, it is good in blast games in most of the time.
	Djinn Biljka - Good magic damage with void was good in magic games, but my enemy used normal attack monsters mainly.
	Doctor Blight - He can collect a lot of health in a lot of games, but this time it was not enough.

Battle - Replay

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

It was a hard game. Blast damage killed my low-health monsters, I should prefer or different monster lets see my original win chance:

It was not an ideal game for Infantry, If I select a different monster it would be a big win:

Battle Results

Do you like gold foil MYCELIC INFANTRY? Why or why not?

The gold foil version is still a great card, but the normal foil version cheaper and has better rent possibilities. So this time both version is a good choices, but the regular foil is a little better.
