Brawl Report
Another new week another new brawl. How will PIZZA 2 fare this week? Will I be able to cut through my opponents?

Special thanks to @shauner for the reminder to fill my frays! Thanks buddy!

Let's see how each brawl match went

Brawl 1
Link: https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sm_tvaPDx8z5h9AZuHF9rk7&ref=vaynard86

Mirror match. Only difference, Merdaali Guardian at position 5 for me and position 3 for opponent.

Outcome: Lost. My Flying Squid had a couple of misses and it caused me the match. Squid needs some shaking up and stop slipping.

Brawl 2
Link : https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sm_oEWhKfLbu6g93nTGAdrk&ref=vaynard86

Back to basics. No healing for psychic. Should be a breeze in the park.

Outcome: Win! Indeed we did it. Diemonshark bites through.

Brawl 3
Link: https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sm_8ERsynkvGTVWhmkm2lg1&ref=vaynard86

Heavy healing on opponent side with a big Mycelic Infantry on sneak. Tough call.

Outcome: Win! Whistling Damon whistles and get bigger and bigger in damage. Djinn Muirat also was a good pick to sustain the magic barrage.

Brawl 4

My favourite double opportunity lineup against a starter like lineup from my opponent.

Outcome: Win. Double opportunity is really not easy to defend against.

Brawl 5
Link: https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sm_2pqo7r9cfhjupk8M5U93&ref=vaynard86

Equalizer, looks like a good play from opponent to use Crypt Beetle as tank to put up more magic attack on backline.

Outcome: Lost. Very good play from opponent. Carrion Shade and Corpse Fiend cannot do much against the barrage of the magic lineup.

Brawl 6
Link: https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sm_uazeAwMzs4ZfM6OjMzPJ&ref=vaynard86

I don't have good feelings on this with a big magic attack monster on opponent end.

Outcome: Lost. That Captain Katie on opponent side is real strong.

Brawl 7
Link: https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sm_NjcjKN7xoyzsl5vbuE3A&ref=vaynard86

Relanor is back! Will he do wonders again this time?

Outcome: Win. Without armour on earthquake ruleset, it is too tough to sustain for my opponent.

Brawl 8
Link: https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sm_NjcjKN7xoyzsl5vbuE3A&ref=vaynard86

Another almost mirror match. But this is a back to basic match, let's see how it goes.

Outcome: Win. Goblin Psychic landed the final blow. This time round positioning helped.

My Final Tally

With the 5 wins secured, I managed to come in fourth for this brawl. All in all, I played to the best I could and learnt some lessons to be better. Will definitely be better next time.
