Another post a little late, soon I'll get to current events. The card chosen this time was the Cruel Sethropd, he is a common card of the blue element and has a very interesting art. this element is one of my favorites and it was really cool to get a nice win to post here.

CRUEL SETHROPOD

As I said before Cruel Sethropo is a common blue element card, it uses melee attack, it doesn't have any skill even at the highest lvl, its attributes make it occupy a tank position, it is very strong in low mana matches, he pairs well very well with blue summoner Kelya Frendul
Even though he doesn't have any skills, this lobster is used a lot in the lower leagues, when I see a game with 20 or less mana the Cruel Sethropod is the first card that comes to mind when I'm going to use blue.

Cruel's price gradually adjusts after the update of the new rewards system, costing something around 0.06$ for its regular foil version and 0.83$ for its gold foil version.

My Team

Rule	Effect
	Broken Arrows: Ranged attack Monster may not be used in battles.

Well.. game with a reasonable amount of mana and with the rule Broken Arrows, I immediately thought of the cruel sethropod as a tank, but I was afraid of the opponent using some green magic combo, I risked putting Cruel as a tank followed by the Oshannus to resist the magic combo if the opponent appears with one, then my Deeplurker DPS to hunt down the opponent's fragile cards and finally the angry chicken to simply absorb some hits.

I have to get the 0 mana blue legendary demon soon 🤣.

Card	LineUP
	Summoner : he is very consistent and one of the best in this collection, he makes good plays in almost all the rules.
	Tank : The star of the match, low cost and good armor will be able to resist a lot in the match, make good use of Kelya's bonus.
	Tank/DPS : I love this legendary Djinn, it can hold the line if the tank is defeated and it is very resistant to magic. If a green combo appears in front of me, I would be well protected.
	DPS : Excellent damage and hunts the opponent's weak cards, quickly removing possible threats.
	Support : Chicken as a meat shield, uses the Keyla bonus very well.

The Battle

Analyzing the table, I see that my opponent appeared with the famous green magic combo, and my Cruel Sethropod would not last long in the match, luckily I used Djinn Oshannus for this type of threat, the good thing is that my hunter will be free to detonate the opposing backline.

Round 1: The first round starts out hectic with all the cards hitting their hits, the Deeplurker eliminates the princess before she attacks my tank making him stay alive one more round.

---

Round 2 : At the beginning of the round the Deeplurker defeats another card leaving the goblin alive for another turn, soon after the Star of the match is eliminated and the Mustang ended up with full HP.

---

Round 3 : Once again, right after the Djinn's almost harmless attack, the Deeplurker eliminates the opponent's last support, putting me in a big advantage in the match.

---

Round 4 and 5 : The mustang resists attacks very well and I resisted for these two rounds, nothing different happened besides the distribution of blows.

---

Round 6 : Finally the victory arrived, it was already very difficult for the opponent to win after having lost all his backline, the Djinn applies the last hit of the game.

Conclusion

The Cruel Sethropod didn't do very well in the match, the magic combo is its biggest weakness at least it resisted two rounds, Oshannus had to take the tank position faster than expected his magic protection helped a lot to hold the line while the DPS did his job, Deepluker hunted very well the opponent's cards that were without protection each hit was an elimination he played his role with mastery.

As much as this was not one of the best games for Cruel Sethropod, he almost always does well in games when the match has low mana, I also like to use him in a game with the rule equalizer, it is worth remembering that at lvl 3 he has 2 points damage helping to land some good hits.

Well I finally managed to post twice in the same week, I'm very happy with it, soon I'll catch up with the challenges. Thank you and see you next time.
