Deeplurker is possibly my favorite common card in the new Chaos Legion set. This monsters has an odd appearance, yet he is a force to be reckoned with. Just like the saying said, don't judge the book by its cover because for sure you are gonna regret it.

"Terrifying to behold, Deeplurkers are a poisonous fish that dwell at the bottom of the ocean and prey on the weak. However, they are known to travel to the surface in times of dire need. Many believe that they are sensitive to the balance of elemental water magic and, when that balance is in danger, the Deeplurkers rise to attack or defend it."

Line up

My team

SUMMONER : Water Summoner, KELYA FRENDUL
When it comes to using the blue deck, the summoner that I always used was Kelya, It just mean that I could used up the bonus shield that helps me on protecting my monsters and increases the speed of everyone in my deck.

First Position: Serpent of Eld
Reason for Picking:
Aside from its damage, this monster can also dodge an attack.

Second Position: Deeplurker
Reason for Picking:
Strong melee with an opportunity attack.

Third Position: Venari Spellsmith
Reason for Picking:
Basically it hits an enemy then removes its buff.

Fourth Position: River Nymph
Reason for Picking:
Eliminates any negative effects on the monster who is in first position on the friendly team.

Enemy

So my opponent decided to use Tarsa as his summoner. It means that it has an advantage of getting an additional +1 attack and +1 health. Knowing this, I thought I'm going to lose this match because of that.

First Position (Radiated Scorcher)	Secod Position(Living Lava)	Third Position(Chaos Agent)
Fourth Position (Spark Pixies)	Fifth Position (Serpentine Spy)	Sixth Position (Tenyll Stryker)

Questions from Splinterlands:
Did your strategy work?
Yes, even with a few monsters on my field, I got to use my monsters ability to conflict damage on the first round which is also due to the given speed of my summoner. Magic type monsters was also helpful. Deeplurker and Serpent of Eld was a great offense since they both have 3 attacks that could take down easily an enemy.

What will you try differently next time? Maybe I wanted to use Deeplurker using cards that will buffed him or renting a higher level card of the same type so I can see its full potential.

Do you like the Deeplurker? Why or why not? I don't see DEEPLURKER as a disadvantage but I think using him is a challenge because he has 6 mana which could imply that he's better suited to high-mana battles such as those with 20 mana or up.
