The 🐉DESERT DRAGON🐉 is a legendary baddass type card from the Dragon unit. It costs 7-mana points and best part is it's TRAMPLE ability.

The 🐉DESERT DRAGON🐉 is an ancient beast and commonly found in the eastern sandy plains. Although this dragon can't fly well because it's wings is torn, but never underestimate this monster because it can move and attack very quickly with it's sharp teeth and body built horns, as well as it's dragon claws. The Dragon using it's Trample ability, attacks without giving the enemy an opportunity to strategize.

The 🐉DESERT DRAGON🐉 is a melee attack monster and though this obviously tells us that it doesn't have a huge tank, it's TRAMPLE ability suffice for that inadequacy.

I am using a level 1, and this card offers 4-melee attacks, 2-speed, 3-shield, and 6-health. The 🐉DESERT DRAGON🐉 with it's trample ability, hits and kills its enemy monsters, then moves on to attack the next enemy monster.

From the Stat above, you'll see an increased ability at level 2, that's when it starts to get interesting. 🐉DESERT DRAGON🐉 gains 5-melee attacks, maintains it's 2-speed point and 3-shield with 6-health but now add the PIERCING ability. This piercing ability targets the enemies shield, and once it's down it attacks the health with a strike.

At levels 3 and 4, the 🐉DESERT DRAGON🐉 gains extra 2 melee attacks, keeps it's speed and shield, but adds +1 health. It then gains the ability to RETALIATE and become a massive killer. The GIANT KILLER ability at level 4 allows it to double strike enemies with 10 or more mana points.

Hence to thoroughly make good use of the 🐉DESERT DRAGON🐉, you'll need to level it up. A monster with the perfect distraction for you to take full control of the battle and win 95% the chance⚔️.

This was a decent 13 mana cap battle, I used the Legendary QUIX THE DEVIOUS as my summoner that weakens my enemies lineup by deducting a -1 range and -1speed to my enemies at start of battle. It was a standard game having no changes to the ruleset and every type of splinter was allowed in the battle.

⚔️ TEAM LINE-UP 1 ⚔️

BUFFSUMMONERELEMENT
-1 Ranged and -1 SpeedQuix the Devious.png
STRATEGY:

I hardly play the Dragon Element cause i tend to lose 90%, simply for reason that i do not have better performing dragon summoners and monsters. But after renting a couple for this season, I had a lot of fun using this fantastic summoner, QUIX THE DEVIOUS It has an intriguing lore, and what makes it great is its ability. For this battle with a melee attack monster, I needed to disarmer the enemy at the start of the battle.

POSITIONCARDABILITY
Front-lineDesert Dragon.pngTrample
STRATEGY:

As always, I don't like taking chances in battle by underestimating my enemy, so i make sure to set my best front line on this one. The wicked 🐉DESERT DRAGON🐉, a 7-mana point card with 4-melee attacks, 2-speed points, 3-shield, and 6-health. The 🐉DESERT DRAGON🐉 is my choice theme card for the DRAGONS element and well introduced.

POSITIONCARDABILITY
Second-lineFrost Lion.pngVoid armor
STRATEGY:

Next comes FROST LION, a 2 mana cost snipe ability monster that comes in handy in this battle. It's my first time engaging this Monster in battle and since it was a really low mana cap type, i went with it. It's ability works well against enemies monsters with magic attacks, as their attack first hits the shield before affecting it's health.

POSITIONCARDABILITY
Third-lineTorrent Fiend.pngShield
STRATEGY:

Finally came ** TORRENT FIEND**, a zero-cost unit employed solely as a sacrifice unit, positioned to deal with cunning opponent monsters. This card can take a few blows if you're lucky, and I employed it only for that purpose, not as an attacking unit, though it does have one melee attack.

As you can see from my lineup, I attempted to provide a balance and focused more on weakening my enemy's monsters. Without further ado, let us now enter the battleground.

  • Enemy used the Life element with MOTHER KHALA as Summoner. CHAOS AGENT in first position, GARGOYA SCRAPPER in second, CELESTIAL HARPY in third, TRUTHSPEAKER in fourth and STITCH LEECH in last position. My Enemy came for a Life-war, and quiet frankly i was abit startled with the number of cards lined-up, 3 against 5😆

✅A SECOND BATTLE IN WHICH I ENGAGED THE 🐉DESERT DRAGON🐉 WITH THE EARTH ELEMENT👇

⚔️ THE BATTLE 2 ⚔️


This was a decent 16 mana cap battle, I used the Legendary ARCHMAGE ARIUS as my summoner that boost my monsters by a +1 range, +1speed and +1 magic attack at start of battle. It was a standard game having no changes to the ruleset and every type of splinter was allowed in the battle.

⚔️ TEAM LINE-UP 2 ⚔️

BUFFSUMMONERELEMENT
+1 range, +1speed and +1 magicArchmage Arius.png
STRATEGY:

The daring ARCHMAGE ARIUS Legendary summoner, a bold and curious move in this second battle. This by far the best Dragon summoner. I don't own him too because he's very expensive (market price 11999$-12800$), so I rented.

POSITIONCARDABILITY
Front-lineDesert Dragon.pngTrample
STRATEGY:

Not taking chances, hence, same strategy deployed as in first Battle.

POSITIONCARDABILITY
Second-lineQueen Mycelia.pngProtect
STRATEGY:

In front is the deadly QUEEN MYCELIA, a 4 mana cost PROTECT! ability. Her ability works well to protect the 🐉DESERT DRAGON🐉. In battle, her evil role has a variety of effects, she weakens the enemy from the inside out and protects all of her fellow monsters, while removing protection from enemy monsters. I have always been fascinated with this card and happy I employed her here.

POSITIONCARDABILITY
Third-lineFungus Fiend.pngShield
STRATEGY:

Finally came FUNGUS FIEND, another zero-cost unit employed solely as a sacrifice unit. A very useful card in low mana battles to fill up spot and consume one or multiple attacks from the enemy, giving more time to my monsters to heal and attack. FUNGUS FIEND is a melee attacker and a legendary card that provides an additional defense for no mana cost.

As you can see from my lineup, it was pretty straight forward and short battle. Only lasted 2 rounds, all my monsters survived and boom!!! The Battle ends in FLAWLESS VICTORY!!!
I now have new Liking for this Dragon summoner ARCHMAGE ARIUS and will be summoning him frequently in battles now.

DO I LIKE THIS DRAGON MONSTER AND WHAT I WOULD'VE DONE DIFFERENTLY?

I think I do like this monster card 🐉DESERT DRAGON🐉, the "TRAMPLE" plays mortal combat scenes in my head for sure😅. To be fair, I definitely look forward to experiencing it's other abilities at higher levels. The only thing it lacks is decent speed, but if teamed up properly, it can easily defeat several high-stat monsters with it's attacks and ability. That's already a slam dunk. This only demonstrates that if you play the Dragons splinter alot, then this is a card to have and keep for both lower and higher leagues.
The battle was exciting to watch and I will keep seeking more ways to own, engage and level up the 🐉DESERT DRAGON🐉.

PAGE DIVIDER TO EDIT PART 2-5.png

DID MY STRATEGIES WORK?

Yes, my strategies worked very well. It was a good lineup and strategy for both low-mana battle⚔️

🐉DESERT DRAGON🐉 is no doubt a decent card, and I strongly recommend using this card in higher league battles; it's powerful and with potentials as it levels up.

😊That will be all about my weekly battle with 🐉DESERT DRAGON🐉 as the themed card.
