    Hello everyone, this is my entry to the splinterlands social media challenge for this week. I will be describing one of my battles from the wild league. I used my account @yahuzah which of course is my spl account for all battles.

    For this battle, I chose the Pyre summoner. Summoners added no advantage or disadvantages in this battle so I just went with the one with the least mana which was 3.

    Battle Tactics


    For this battle we both selected monsters with odd mana costs. One look at the teams and I thought this battle would be quite easy for me because the second and third monsters of my enemy could not attack unless in the first position. The last monster was a cause for alarm because its attack meant the shield from my attacked monsters would be removed.

    For the first position, I selected Ulundin Overseer as my tank. The shield and health of this monster is huge so I hoped it will help.

    I selected Grum Flameblade in second position. Grum was even the reason I selected Ulundin Overseer because it would grant Grum the reach ability to attack in the second position.

    In third position I selected Djinn Inferno. I chose this so it would attack the health of my enemy directly.

    In the fourth position, I selected Sand Worm.

    In the fifth position, I selected Spirit Hoarder for its triage, ability. That ability didn't come into effect because my enemy had no monster who attacked my monsters not in the first position.

    In the last position, I went with Tenyii Striker who has the sneak ability.

    Battle Details

    Right at the start of the battle, my fear materialized when my enemy's last monster attacked and got rid of my tank's shield. My enemy's sixth monster, War Pegasus attacked my first monster.

    More than halfway through round 1, I killed my enemy's first monster, Venari Markstrat who gave my enemy's second monster +1 stats. Unfortunately, Grum Flameblade finally got the chance to attack but missed.

    At the beginning of round 2, my tank was killed and Grum stepped into first position and my last monster killed my enemy's last monster halfway through the round.

    Again, Grum missed its attack and at this point, I was quite pissed and worried. @abenad your baby Grum really disappointed me in this battle 😠😂. To make this worse, Sand Worm also missed its attack.

    In round 3, I managed to kill my enemy's last monster once again. My enemy's new first monster could have died in this round but again, Grum failed me and missed its attack.

    In round 4, my Grum was killed. At the end of the round, my enemy's first monster, Drybone Barbarian was killed.
