Hello everyone and welcome to the Battle Weekly Challenge. This week is the turn of the dragons! Dragons are one of the most fun elements in Splinterlands as it gives you the opportunity to combine your cards with other elements.

In this particular battle we are facing a level 1 Kelya Frendul summoner. We are going to play on equal terms as we can only use cards at level 1. So let's see the rules, the team and the details of the battle.

Battle Rules

This is a 27 mana battle with the "Briar Patch" rule. All elements except Earth and Death are allowed to play.

My Lineup

Some time ago, Daria Dragonscale nearly lost her twin brother Delwyn to the Burn that had stricken so many of the scaled. She would have lost him completely, but at his deathbed she hired the services of a dark sorcerer who transferred his soul into a special Heliosoulstone. While he was suspended inside the stone, Daria traveled to the Earth Splinter, where she visited the Flesh Golems in the root of the Elder Tree. With their help, she created a new Golem from fleshy scraps. Delwyn’s soul was transferred into the new Golem, and Daria had her brother back… forever.

Delwyn Dragonscale: I really like this summoner as it gives +1 magic attack to all friendly magic attack monsters and the possibility to combine our cards with other Splinters as it is a dragon Summoner. Does magic damage is very important. Monsters with magic attack may do damage from any row, since this form of attack ignores the defender’s Armor STAT (damage is applied directly to health). Unless there is a monster with Phase on the enemy's team, magic attack will always hit. There is no miss chance.

Djinn Oshannus: Djinn Oshannus is an amazing magic attack card that can be used as a tank due to its high Speed and high HP. In addition, its "Void" ability allows us to mitigate magic damage. I love this card as it is good against everything (melee, ranged and magic attacks).

Void Dragon: It is one of my favorite dragons. He is fast, has a lot of HP and his abilities allow us to defend ourselves from monsters with melee, magic and ranged attacks. It is a very complete card for only 5 mana.

Serpentine Mystic: This card has a chance of applying Affliction on the target causing it to be unable to be healed. I think it was the key to our victory as the enemy played Merdaali Guardian who has the "Tank Heal" ability and we didn't have any cards to kill her quickly.

Venari Wavesmith: This card gives +2 armor to all friendly monsters. I think it is very useful since none of our monsters have armor. Armor will allow us to resist more attacks from enemy monsters with melee and ranged attacks.

Creeping Ooze: Ooze is one of those cards that fits very well into almost any composition. I find it especially good in low mana games thanks to its "Slow" ability, which reduces the attack speed of all enemy monsters allowing our monsters to attack first and have less chance to miss.

Furious Chicken: In the last position I have decided to use Furious Chicken. This card doesn't have any abilities at level 1, but using it in the last position allows us to defend our strongest monsters from enemy monsters with the Sneak ability. It's a perfect bait for 0 mana.
