Hi everyone, this is my take on the weekly battle challenge. This week staring:
Drake of Arnak & Djnn Chwala

Let me introduce you to my lineup:

Lore:

The Drake of Arnak is a medium-sized Dragon hybrid. He is highly intelligent and extremely rich, but cannot fly nor breathe fire. All his life he has honed his skills as a summoner, hoping to win a share of the glory that should rightfully be his as a carrier of the fire blood. The Drake's trademark is that his monsters are summoned to battle with a thin force field of blue fire, fortifying their defenses. Forms have been filed by the High Council to formally request that the Drake of Arnak hand over his secrets for the good of the united Gloridax, but he will not give up his proprietary magic without a fight. The Drake of Arnak is the Gloridax rival of Daria Dragonscale; the two despise one another.

Reasoning:

Drake of Arnak is a good Summoner, but for this match, I would prefer a different summoner, but since I'm still low budget I can't afford a Quix. So baggers can't be choosers.

Lore:

Dawn of the Djinn 4 of 4 - Only a short time after the Djinn were released, most of them were already seeing their elemental captivity as a blessing rather than a curse. They had far greater power than before, now that they were working with the force of the Planet at their backs. Pursuit of power was at the core of Belludae beliefs, so most of them would make small sacrifices for greater power.

The Djinn have not all found one another, and it will be difficult for them to do so since many of them reside in different elements. This is why several of the Djinn have submitted themselves as cards in the Moxian games, so they can connect with their lost brethren. Gradually they will come together to Praetoria as part of the last lines of defense, channeling the power of the Planet into an impenetrable wall to hold back the Chaos Legion.

Reasoning:

Djinn Chwala is clearly the star of this battle. Naturally, since he is our only unit. He is amazing for low mana battles. Since most opponents don't run armor repair or multiple magic attackers. That's why he performs pretty well in this spot.

Round 1:

Commentary

Ouch, don't like my matchup. I mean I can win, even if I miss one time. But only after I kill the Cruel Sethropod. I mean I have a 90% hit chance, but still this round creates a lot of unease for me.

Round 2:

Commentary

Puh first 90% hit rate shot came through, if I hit him again a huge burden will be lifted off my shoulder.

Round 3:

Commentary

Nice, we got rid of the Cruel Sethropod. Next is the Ice Pixie, this time we have 55% hit chance. Luckily from now on, we can miss once and still secure the win.

Round 4:

Commentary

Yes, this is looking good, we hit everytime. So we have 2 rounds to finish the Ice Pixie.

Round 5:

Commentary

Man, 55% hitrate comes through, again. Now, the Angelic Mandarin is a sitting duck and we just have to clean up.

Conclusion:

My opponent's team was tough actually, I think his ordering was his mistake. Had he placed his Angelic Mandarin in front of the Ice Pixie he would have won. I know it feels wrong putting a ranged char in front of the magic damage dealer, but I feel it would be the better setup in general not only in this instance but again the whole meta in bronze 3.

All in all, I love Djinn Chwala with Drake of Arnak in bronze 3 and will continue to play it at times.

I love playing dragons, but before I get my hands on Quix the Devious, dragons unfortunately won't play a big role in my deck building.
