For this week's challenge, again a card which I may never have played before. I like the Chthulhu vibes of the Kulu Swimhunter, but when I play water I usually have punchier monsters to play with. Anyway, let's try it with the first suitable battle I have today.

So, a 26 mana battle, earthquake+spreading fury settings, and Dragon and Death cannot be played. With earthquake I usually play Dragon, but without this possibility, I wen for Water, focusing on Djin Oshannus and Merissa Tridawn for Magical offens, the Kulu Swimhunter because it's the topic of this duel in 4th, and I completed with hardy Stonefish as a cheap first liner and the Chicken as cannon fodder at the end in case of sneaky guys. I go against a Life player, and to be honnest, my lineup seems weak, but let's see what happens as my opponent's lineup doesn't look optimized for the earthquake conditions.

Beginning of the 2nd round, nothing much to say: the Stone fish did its job, then died.

At the start of round 3, My Djinn is out, but the earthquake is killing his beasts for me. Let's hope my team manages to survive long enough,but his back line flyer may be what saves my opponent

We can see that with round 4 the game is called: the flying capability of the Regal Peryton and my lack of sneakers made my opponent win. I should have played the Kulu in another setting: it's not worth its price IMHO, and combined with my not very good lineup it didn't work at all.

I still really like the kulu swimhunter, he was one of the first commons I leveled up in the new expansion. Great write-up!

Maybe I would enjoy it leveled, but I only have summoners lvl 2, so not convinced by the kulu :-/

Yeah Kulu Definitely gives that Cthulu vibe. Under different circumstances you would have had this game in the pocket.

Nevermind: I didn't choose that well, and paid for it.
