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 face the legendary summoner Quix the Devious. A legendary summoner is very good as it allows the use of common cards at level 3, rare cards at level 2, epic cards at level 2 and legendary cards at level 1. The opponent was able to use higher level cards than me so I was a bit at a disadvantage. Nevertheless, let's see the rules, the team and the details of the battle.

Battle Rules

This is a 22 mana battle with the "Holy Protection" rule where only Life and Dragon elements are allowed to play.

Icon	Name	Description
	Holy Protection	All Monsters have the Divine Shield ability.

• To benefit as much as possible from the Holy Protection rule, we will try to use as many monsters as possible.

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.

Void Dragon: Void Dragon is an amazing magic attack card that can be used as a tank due to its high Speed and high HP. Its "Void" ability reduces damage from Magic attacks. I love this dragon because it is good against everything (melee, ranged and magic attacks).

Furious Chicken: This card doesn't have any abilities at level 1, but using it in the second position allows it to be targeted by enemy monsters with the Snipe and Opportunity ability. It's a perfect bait for 0 mana.

Dax Paragon: There are not many magic attack cards for only 2 Mana and Dax Paragon is one of them!. Using low mana cards will allow us to use more monsters in this battle.

Time Mage: This card is very useful especially in low mana battles. Its "Slow" ability reduces the Speed of all enemy monsters allowing our monsters to attack first and have less chance to miss.

Serpentine Mystic: This card has a chance of applying Affliction on the target causing it to be unable to be healed.

Dragon Whelp: Card with very low mana cost that in combination with our Summoner has +1 additional magic attack.
