Weekly Battle Challenge : Cruel Sethropod
Introduction
Hello guys welcome to my blog. This week's battle challenge theme is Cruel Sethropod. Cruel Sethropod is a Common Card from Water element. It does Melee damage. It does not have any ability. This card is generally used as an soft tank to soak up few hits from enemy. In little league and no magic ruleset this card is very helpful. It costs only 3 mana so we can probably fit this into lot of Water compositions. Stats for Cruel Sethropod are below 👇. In case you wanna read the Lore of Cruel Sethropod here's the Link

💭 Thought process 💭
- Water - Frankly I had been spamming Alric and Mages for few matches and I was winning convincingly so I thought of continuing my composition for few more matches. Alric Strombringer is one of the most powerful summoner in the game. It only costs 3 mana to use and gives +1 magic damage buff. Also I had rented a few cards for Brawl as well so I had really strong magic composition for Silver 3 league. Also Earth element was available so I was expecting to face Obsidian + magic Damage spam. Once Unicorn Mustang Dies in that lineup it is an easy win. I had to counter healing and thankfully I had rented Doctor Blight so that took care of it.
⚔️ Battle ⚔️
Round 1
As expected Opponent went with Obsidian Magic Spam. My frontline was Cruel Sethropod and thanks to Divine shield, Extra armor and Resurrect it managed to survive first round.
I was able to take out Enemy Taunt with ease.
Now my team focused on enemy frontline but thanks to the enemy healer I couldn't take it out in first round.
Round 2
Cruel Sethropod almost survived round 2 but fell 2 bouts shorts. But it did it's job of soft tank very nicely.
Enemy frontline died.
Now Djinn Oshannus and Unicorn Mustang were Upfront. My doctor Blight managed to land affliction in the first shot on Mustang and because of this I was 99% sure of my victory.
Next round Unicorn Mustang should die.
Round 3
Unicorn Mustang Died.
Regal Peryton also took a 4 magic damage shot from Nerissa and died.
It should be over in next round.
Victory ✌🏼

Cards Used with explanations :
(Battle is from Silver 3 league)
In first place we have our Themed Monster for this week : Cruel Sethropod. I have used it as an soft tank in the lineup. With the help of the ruleset and Resurrect I was sure this would become a very good tank for my cards.
In second place we have Djinn Oshannus. It is a Legendary card and you can get this by playing the game as it's a Reward card. It is one of the most powerful card in Chaos Legion. High speed, high health, Magic damage and Void ability makes it a good card.
At third place I have River Hellondale. It is a Legendary card. I used it for it's Resurrect ability and Magic damage. Resurrect brings back One friendly monster back to life with 1 health. This ability could be very powerful when used correctly.
At fourth position we have Nerissa Tridawn. It is an Epic Card. At my league Magic damage is very powerful and this card has 3 magic damage and paired with Alric it has 4 magic damage. This has good health as well though It's mana cost is bit high.
At fifth place we have Ruler of the Seas. This is a Legendary card and I had rented it for the Brawl. This card has Blast ability and blast ability with Magic damage is very strong. It has good speed as well. It synergizes well with my summoner Alric.
In last position I placed a Doctor Blight. I used him for his Affliction ability. This card has Camouflage ability as well so last position is generally the best position For him. He is also Magic damage dealer so he has a great synergy with Alric as well.
Did your strategy work? What will you try differently next time?
Yep it did work out fine this time. Well that will depend on Ruleset
Do you like the (monster)? Why or why not?
This is a very good card in my opinion. For 3 mana you are getting a good soft tank against melee and archery damage. In little league, Equal health or anti Magic ruleset this card can be the difference b/w victory and loss. I think abilities are fun so maybe atleast one ability could have made this card more powerful and fun to use.
