Cruel Sethropod.



I have one but I won't lie. It's a fairly shit card to have.

It has no abilities at level one and it still has no abilities at level ten. I maxed one out for this challenge just to have a chance of winning my battles while i try to write this latest battle post.

I am on water for my latest quest so hoping to tie up both problems with one knot today. Lets see how it goes.

It might take a while though to find a match that is winnable with the card in play.

Then I waited. And waited. And waited.

It was a long time before i found a battle to actually play the card in and have a chance to win.

A long, long time.



The Battle.



The ruleset for this battle was:

Starting line-up

With no ranged monster allowed, I went with sethropod in tank position and mostly sneak melee monsters.

You can see that my opponent went the same way so it could go either way on this one. I would like some shield to hold them off but that's the way it plays out.


First kill..

First kill went to me since their last monster only had two health unless you count my cannon fodder of a zero mana monster on the last position. That was solely there to soak up an attack and die. Just like infantry.



Round three.

By round three, I'm already in trouble. This is what you get for playing the wrong cards at the wrong time. Their sneak took out all of my monsters one by one. I had the same idea but my monsters missed three attacks to leave me sitting dead in the water.

It wasn't the cause of the loss however. They had a speed advantage with more attack power. That is what did the damage.



Finishing line-up.

And then it was all over.

First attack of round four and I'm out for the count. It was a tough loss to take but fully deserved as my team was fairly crap. I'm not a fan of the card and don't see much use for it in my teams.

I'll throw it onto the rental market for the rest of my lifetime and forget all about it.



Try for yourself.



If you haven't played the game before then now is the best time to join. Today is much better than tomorrow and a lot better than later.

I have to agree. I don't really think this card would be useful unless you had a rule set where abilities can't be used. I guess little league might also make it more worthwhile.
