Zallin - SHARE YOUR BATTLE

I'm coming in the atal events, this time the card chosen for this show is dragons, that's right you read it can be any dragon card, then among the dragons that I have I chose the Desert Dragon, I haven't read his lore yet but by the art of his card he looks like he fought a lot and has arrows all over his body. by the way is one of the coolest art in this collection😁

DESERT DRAGON

Desert Dragon is a Legendary card, of the dragon element, uses melee attacks, its attributes focus on the attack even at lvl 1 it already has incredible 4 damage, the rest of its attributes I consider average for its mana cost, its abilities also focus in causing damage he already starts with the powerful skill trample, at lvl 2 he acquires Piercing, at lvl 3 Retaliate and at the last lvl Giant Killer, the only weak point I see is his speed getting max 2 and consequently he will miss many attacks.

legendary card is always good to think before buying, our incredible dragon is costing 2.28$ in its regular foil version and 42$ in its gold foil version. Its price has been dropping following almost every crypto market nowadays, it is at lowest values since the launch.

My Team

Rule	Effect
	Equal Opportunity: All Monsters have the Opportunity ability

A battle with incredible 99 mana and Equal Opportunity being a good opportunity to test our dragon because it will be able to attack in any position and targeting the cards that are already dying to use trample if you shoot one of them, The high cost of mana is very good for this element because there are very heavy cards here, but unfortunately I had almost none of them 😭, I chose White as support because I remembered two big cards I have, to tank always Djinn Chwala, then I put all my big monsters, even remembered the golin mech.

Card	LineUP
	Summoner : I don't have great summoner options for this element so I took the best I had, the speed debuff is interesting, but the ranged attack will hardly affect my opponent.
	Tank : One of the best tanks in the game, its thorn skill is incredible, its attributes also make very resistant.
	DPS : Wow I played with him a lot when I started in splinterlands I was happy to remember him for the match, he has excellent damage and the Piercing skill (I'm more and more attached to this skill 😂)
	DPS: The star of the game, it has a colossal attack that will hurt anyone, I wish I used it at lvl 2 to use Piercing, but I think even at this lvl it will kill a lot.
	DPS/Support : I like its skill and it still has good magic damage, it will help a little if any physical damage resistant card appears along the way.
	DPS/Support : It has a good debuff and a horrible speed, but as it will be able to attack from anywhere, I think it pays off in the end even if it misses all the attacks.
	DPS : Good attributes and a lot of HP, you will be able to hit a lot, it has no other use besides that..

The Battle

Analyzing the line-ups: My opponent used a blue summoner that gave +1 armor practically nullifying at least one of my attacks on each of his creatures, luckily the goblin has Piercing, physically his cards seem to be more fragile than mine and the debuff demoralize affected 4 cards but was nullified thanks to the shark with inspire, I see a well balanced match but it won't take long to end.

Round 1 - A heavy start and hits for all sides, in the middle of the round my goblin hits with a piercing and takes the Supply Runner out of the game, after that nothing different, the Disintergrator debuff is helping a lot.

Round 2 - And once again the goblin hits the shark and knocks him out removing an important buff from the opponent, but practically at the end he succumbed to the deep lurker's attack and left the game.

Round 3 - I'm getting a numerical advantage my tank is doing very well in X1 with the opponent's tank, and almost at the end of the round our star destroys the deep lurker and the soon after the disintegrator does the impossible and hits a lethal blow with its extremely low speed, knocking out DiemonShark.

Round 4 - My advantage grows absurdly, my damage debuff practically made the opponent's melee damage useless, my biggest threat is the Djinn Oshannus, the round ends without any elimination.

Round 5 - And finally the victory arrived, the two cards left for my opponent were very weak and I had a very big numerical advantage, my sheriff defeats the Djinn and our star seals the victory defeating the last card.

Conclusion

Well it was not one of my best strategies but it worked well, I have to prepare better for these matches with 99 mana, my summoner's debuffs only affected the supply runer, my tank had a quiet match, the goblin made good use of the piercing skill and defeated two cards before falling, the star of the match, the Incredible Desert Dragon fought very well and killed 2 cards, his trample did not work, the disintergrator's damage debuff did a good job affecting 4 cards and rendering them almost harmless, the rest of the DPS did what they had to do.

The Desert Dragon is a card with massive damage when the trample works it can make a riot, it would be much better with the peircing I will certainly test it at lvl 2 to see how it goes, it must be pretty cool to see your skill in a match with the rule Stampede 😄.

Thanks, see you next time!
