Drake of Arnak (Level 1)

Splinter	Dragon
Mana cost	4
Edition	Untamed
Ability	+1 Armor
Rarity	Rare

It is a summoner for the dragon team +1 armor was a very useful addition before Chaos Legion , now it is a more situational card than earlier. But against non magic damage armor is still a decisive factor.

It is a rare untamed card. I do own a copy of it so I do not have to rent it. As you can see in the table below it is not a cheap card as a regural foil nor as a gold foil. There are a lot of available copies at the moment. It is because there are better Dragon summoners to level them up.

Here comes the battle:

I was in silver 3 at the time of the battle. As you can see I had an interesting ruleset.
Rules:

Battle modifiers	Mana cap	Available splinters
Weak Magic	16	Water
-	-	Earth
-	-	Lfe
-	-	Death
-	-	Dragon

So what did I chose to do?

For Summoner: Drake of Arnak it will increase the armor of my monsters by 1. At low mana matches Arnak combined with a Thorny card can be a nice combo.

Monsters:

• Cursed Windeku best (at least I think) widely available tank for Death splinter thanks to it's Thorns ability, and high health.
• Death Elemental it is magic damage and decent speed for low mana Sniper ability is a bonus.
• Life Sapper it is magic damage as well and a nice Life Leech ability I really like this ability, it can be surprisingly good in a long battle, given you don't meet with Void.

Link to the battle

Did my strategy work?

Yes, I won the battle. It was a really really close one. My enemy brought Thorns and Void both could be a considered as a counter to my team. But Life Leech and my Thorns ability was key to the victory.

What will I try differently next time?

Given this ruleset I would not change my lineup. I know that it was a risky tactic, but sometimes you have to risk to win.

Thanks for the reading, I hope you enjoyed, see you on the battlefield!
