Today we have another Sharing Your Battle, the card chosen for this week was the Venari Spellsmith, a very interesting card that is being used more and more by players, there is a Venari Smith version for almost all elements even the neutral 😄, now just missing the dragon element, it was very interesting to use this card because I almost never used the skills it has.

🌟 VENARI SPELLSMITH 🌟

Venari Spellsmith is a rare card of the neutral element, released in the chaos legion set, it uses magic attacks and costs 4 mana, its attributes are very weak and none of them stand out, it already starts with the Dispel ability, from lvl 4 it acquires the Amplify ability and at lvl 8 it acquires the Redemption ability.
I usually use it as a support, especially from lvl 4 onwards as it increases Magic Reflect, Return Fire and Thorns damage by +1, making interesting combos with Cursed Windeku, Djinn Chwala, Pelacor Conjurer, Mylor Corwling and Owster Rowell among others who have such ability.

Venari Spellsmith is getting more and more popular in the game, just look at the graph to get an idea, Today it is one of the most expensive rare cards in the chaos legions set, costing 0.47$ in its Regular Foil version and 3.55$ in its Gold Foil version.

⚔️ My Team ⚔️

Rule	Effect
	Holy Protection - All Monsters have the Divine Shield ability.
	Lost Legendaries - Legendary Monsters may not be used in battles.

A match without legendary cards and all units with Divine Shield, with this initial protection I thought of other ways to apply damage beyond the conventional basic attack, thorns would be interesting so I got the best card I had with this ability the Cursed Windeku and to use it would have to have a summoner of the element of death, the only one I had was Thaddius Brood, then I put the star of the game the Venari Spellsimth, I thought of two more DPS with what was left of mana, I preferred to leave the Venari in the last position to protect them from sneak attacks.

Card	LineUP
	Summoner : His bonuses almost always help in matches and this HP reduction that the opponent's cards will have plus the thorn with extra damage should be interesting to see 😁.
	Tank : My main tank of this element, lots of HP, thorn, and self-healing, he is one of the key pieces of this line-up.
	Off-Tank: Cheap unit with good damage, it will still gain some HP points during the game and if necessary it will hold the front line.
	DPS: Low mana cost and lots of damage was all I needed, too bad she is lvl 1😭.
	Suport : Our star of the match, her abilities will be excellent in conjunction with the cursed windeku, I left her in the last position to protect the Soul Stragler from sneak attacks.

🤜The Battle 🤛

Analyzing the match: My thorn would work very well because almost all the cards are melee, but my venari will not resist much because my opponent came with the red element which attacks the opponent's back line very strongly.

Round 1 - The game starts and right at the beginning I manage to knock down one of my opponent's cards, the round continues without eliminations, but almost all the cards no longer have the shield.

---

Round 2 - In the middle of the round my Cursed Windeku defeats the ant army just in time as the samurai would attack my venari, but almost at the end my Life Sapper was knocked out by the spy.

---

Round 3 - On the very first move the lava spider defeats my DPS with its sniper skill, but soon after cursed windeku defeats the samurai with its 3 damage thorns, then the spy is eliminated with a hit from the star of the match.

---

Round 4 and 5 - Finally the victory arrived, the last card that was left for my opponent uses distance attack being unable to attack in the first position, it was only to wait until windeku finished the game granting me the victory.

🎊 Conclusion 🎊

My strategy finally worked in an interesting way 🤣, My summoner's HP debuff certainly helped, Cursed Windeku removed the Divine shield of almost all cards with his thorn and still applied a lot of damage with his basic attack, my DPS helped with their hits but were quickly eliminated, The star of the match stayed alive until the end his thorn buff was very effective in this match especially in the elimination of the samurai.

I had never tested this Amplify ability, it's very interesting, I will certainly play more often with cards that have this ability, Dispel is nice but I never managed to make good use of it 😅, I will continue testing some combos but this time with GrandMaster Rathe, Venari Spellsmith and some other card with the Magic reflect ability 😄.

That's it for today guys!
