Hello, my dear Splinterlanders. How are you today? I hope you're doing great.
Those who reach this post, I wish you a good day.

In the ' Card In Spotlight ' series, I review the best and undervalued cards of the Splinterlands and their use-case. This is the 10th edition and you can read the previous editions here -

This is the 10th edition and in this edition, I'll discuss a Legendary card from the Fire splinter, the GRUM FLAMEBLADE.

I'll explain the best rulesets to use Grum Flameblade effectively.
I'll also share the best battle I fought and won using Grum Flameblade as the main card of the team.

So without further ado, let's start.

THE LORE

Grum is known throughout his tribe as the strongest warrior. Born in the Sands of Draykh-Nahka, his hard upbringing made him a survivor. There was no weather too extreme, no drought too long, and no enemy too cunning for Grum. He became well-respected within the region for his battle prowess and defended his tribe countless times against the creatures of the waste. Tales were sung around the fires of Grum's battle with the Great Wyrm of the Sands, the Earth-Shaking Titan, and Velissa the Sorceress. Grum's tribe, known as the Desert Blood, honored tradition, strength, and courage. He grew to become a legend amongst his people.

One day, he felt the spirits of his ancestors calling to him. Going on a solitary journey into the wasteland, he connected with an ancient past. A ruin lay deep underneath the desert that housed powerful mana. That connection imbued him with magic, and he became able to summon fire on his great sword, making him more formidable than ever before.

Grum could have taken this gift and used it to defend his tribe, but instead, he became arrogant. Who could defeat a warrior with a blade of fire? He began traveling, seeking out any foe that pleased him and doing as he chose. Even in the often dangerous draconic lands of Draykh-Nahka, there were few who would cross Grum.

His path took him across the Chaos Legion. Grum battled their warriors but found he could not overcome their collective might. Their magic, their tactics, and their motivations were strange to Grum. It was something he'd never come across before. Rather than surrender, Grum was impressed. He chose to join the Chaos Legion and use their might to find new foes to face.

Grum now serves on the front lines of the battle for the Chaos Legion. While he is a leader of the fiercest warriors, Grum fights right alongside even the newest soldier. He prefers to be the first to break the lines of the enemy and bring their heads back as his trophies. His ferocity and burning blade earned him the name Grum Flameblade across the land.

BATTLE STATS AND ABILITIES OF THE GRUM FLAMEBLADE

THE BATTLE

Rulesets:
Super Sneak: All melee attack monsters have the Sneak ability.
Close Range: Ranged attacks may be used in the first position in battles.

My Strategy and Team Setup

SUMMONER

Malric Inferno

I use the Malric Inferno a lot when playing low mana cap battle with the fire splinter as he gives the friendly team +1 melee attack buffs and costs only 3 mana.

Team Setup

The battle was a low mana cap battle and there are few monsters to choose from. I applied the similar strategy I use frequently in low mana cap battles, using the Grum Flameblade as the main monster and tank.
Next, in the second position, I placed the Kobold Miner as I only had 2 mana left to use and the Kobold Miner is a good card comparing it costs only 2 mana.
In the third and fourth positions, I placed 2 filler cards which costs 0 mana, the Furious Chicken and the Scorch Fiend.

Now, that my team is ready, let's charge into the battle.

Analysis Of The Key Factors Of The Battle

Well, this was a very exciting battle full of uncertainty but I won it at last.
There's nothing much to describe here as it was the battle of only one card from my side, technically. But, I'm amazed to see the utility of the Grum Flameblade. He's really a beast in the low mana cap battles.
I enjoyed this battle very much and I hope you too...
