Playing with the mad orc | My Splinterlands Battle story
Hola Splinterland Players!
I hope you all enjoying Splinterlands!
This is your splinter fellow warrior mango-juice with another Splinterlands Battle challenge post!!
After staying away from splinterlands for quite a long time due to my severe bike accident, I am finally active on the battlefield. Now as a prisoner, all I do is stay in my room lying on bed and play games all day. The wound of my foot has recovered well but the stiffness is still there. I am doing physiotherapy daily. Hope I'll get well completely very soon.
In the last 1.5 months, I started playing splinterlands again and started posting on hive too. Today I was roaming around hive blogs and fall upon a battle challenge post written by a known splinterlands player and it really caught my attention. I immediately remembered and started writing my own because I don't wanna miss the fun for sure XD
So, this week, the battle monster is Stonesplitter Orc! Let us look into a furious melee card from the Earth sector! The Orc is an old dog beta edition melee card that belongs to the Earth splinter and it comes with gold edition and alpha edition as well. This ugly looking monster is one of the most popular melee cards in Splinterlands because of his high melee attack and Retaliate ability! A 6 mana cost monster packed with such attack and extra shields becomes very dependable in this cautious situation!
Stonesplitter Orc is super usable in melee matches. If you badly want a layer of extra support at the front or back position which can retaliate against enemy melee attacks. Orc can be your guy!
I always love playing matches with Earth monsters with a good number of melee, magic or ranged monsters or even a mix of all of them depending upon the match type and total mana limit. Costing just 6 mana, this monster yet has great potential on the battlefield, especially in the fire less melee mana matches, what do you think?
Ok so, before moving on, lt use see what s being written in the book of Splinterlore for him.
True to the name of their kind, the Stonesplitter Orcs can cleave any stone into pieces, revealing the ores and gems that may dwell within. They are also fierce foes, whose pickaxes can crack the skull of an enemy monster like a nut.
For this beta edition card, Right now there is currently only a couple of max Orc available at the market, well on the first page at least and the price for the lowest one is exactly 12.50$ (0.11$ per bcx, 20,593.081 DEC). There are also some high-level monsters available at slightly higher prices and The single one is available at 0.13$ and will cost you 214.168 DEC as per the current rate.
Clearly, you can see the difference between alpha and beta prices. For this beta edition card, Right now there is currently some max Orc available at the market and the price for the lowest one is exactly 20.34$ (0.24$ per bcx, 33,514.003 DEC).

Ruleset
So, It was a double ruleset as below...
Silent Summoners
Summoners does not provide any kind of buffs/debuffs.
Lost Legendaries
(legendary monsters can not be used in this match).
It's a high mana match this time and I am thinking to go for the Earth summoner Xandar Foxwood because its a silence ruleset match. Since the ruleset is Silent Summoners + Lost Legendaries, I can surely use some big size monsters to cope with things up!

First, let us follow the opponent's line-up...
- My opponent @sinistry also used Death summoner Zintar Mortalis against me.
- At the front position, he used Goblin Mech Level 9. He chose a deadly shielded tank to his front and I just hope I get able to kill this high-level beast with my warriors.
- At the second position, he e puts Prismatic Energy lev 8.
- At the third he used Octopider lev 7.
- At the fourth position, he puts Phantom Soldier level 6.
- At the fifth position, he puts Cube lev 10.
- At the sixth position, he puts The Boogyman level 8.
AS you can see from the battle, the opponent's line up was very aggressive, especially with that much at the front following by max level magic monsters. He went full-on attack stance upon me at my front position and also used the cube at the fifth position as an extra bag of defence. He would think that I will be using melee and magic monsters but this time I believed in the archers too.
My orc did a brave job here and thanks to the wood nymph to heal him up giving him some extra space. The Mushroom also helped me weakening his magic monsters while my archers were doing their job nicely.
My opponent @sinistry really played great! I face him often on the battlefield and his line ups are great as always! If you are reading this, please give him a shout out ;)
