Fighting with Soul Storm : a great addition to the Splinterlands flying group
Namaskar Splinterland Players!
I hope you all are happy and enjoying Splinterlands!
This is your splinter fellow warrior mango-juice with another Splinterlands share your battle weakly challenge post!!
If you are reading this, probably you are just a spliter-o-holic
like me and no doubt you are well known with the weekly battle challenge content where we write battle blogs on the weekly themed monsters!
So last week, the theme monster was Soulstrome. Sorry I am a bit late and coming up with the post just now. And somehow I also managed to buy level 2 soul Storme for myself as I was lacking this card in my collection.
I was already in making of 4 max untamed pinter deck. First I chose Contessa(death) and Eastwood(Earth) deck. With my tight budget and limited resources, I chose not to make a death deck back in beta days and it was a foolish decision which I still mourn. Anyway, I wanted to rectify my mistake this time and started building my deck with the death splinter first just after the Untamed series got released. I bought the max contessa and then the monsters one by one. I am not very much into buying packs simply because my wallet doesn't suggest that. Instead, I wait for cheap max cards in the market or look for off-market deals.
I have already most of the untamed death cards either max or near max level, but to be honest, as soulstorme was a pricy epic card (and is still in high demand), I chose to cross it in my card priority list.
But when last week, splinterlands chooses Soulstorme as the weekly themed monster to battle and make a post with, I felt that it is the right time to bring a new monster in my house ;) I immediately went to the market and made a level 2 to use it as there was not a single high-level card available. And wow! This monster is way better than I thought!
Before moving into the analysis part, let's take a look at the book of splinterlore and see what is written in its name.
Soul Harvesting is forbidden by the Dark Eternals, but some still practice these evil ways. Often, a Soul Harvest goes wrong, leaving the victim's soul forever doomed to wander the Splinterlands with nobody. These wandering souls gravitate toward one another, forming sinister clouds. These clouds are known as Soulstorms, and if you see one coming, run.
Right now there is only a max level Soul Storm available at the market and the price is exactly 28$ (0.61$ per bcx, 48,840.049 DEC). The single one is available at 0.59$ and will cost you 2,587.992 DEC as per the current rate.
I bought my Soul some days ag and I think I have paid a little less than the current price. Anyways, It's a good card to hold definitely, why? jump down!
What Soul Storm is capable of?
Let's have a look into his stats and find out!

Opponent
@joker777
Mana count
This match holds a medium 38 mana cap!Summoners
This battle supports Fire, Water, Earth and Death summoners.
Ruleset
So, It was a dual ruleset as below...
Reverse Speed
(the monsters with the lowest speed will attack first and have the highest chance of evading attacks).
Earthquake
( All non-flying monsters will get -2 health every round).
It's a med mana match this time and I am thinking to go for the Death summoner Contessa deck with a group of mixed monsters and the Soul Storm along with it.
I didn't really think much of the rulesets, I had to choose to give priority to either of the rulesets and I gave my favour on flying and choose 3 flying monsters.

Battle Result
Well, the match was quite unexpected to me but after the match started, it was really awesome guys! The opponent used the Earth Lynna deck with magic and archer monsters on me but my strong monsters got able to survive and kill down the enemies one by one.
Let us now take a dive in the gameplay.

First, let us follow the opponent's line-up...
- My opponent @joer777 used Earth summoner Lynna against me.
- At the front position, he used Lord A Level 4. He chose an immortal tank to his front and I just hope I get able to kill this fat tank beast with my melee warriors.
- At the second position, he used Prismatic Energy level 8.
- At the third position, he puts Cyclops lev 6.
- At the fourth position, he chose Spirit of the Forest lev 4.
- At the fifth position, he chose Mushroom Seer lev 8.
- At the last position, he chose Earth Elemental lev 8.
Especially in this medium mana match, It was a bit hard to guess which summoners and monsters my opponent will use. When you have a vast range of choices in hand, you always use your favourite cards in the battleground. But the most important thing is to outrun the opponent that's why I took a little risk this time.
first of all, the Contessa debuffs all enemy monsters by -1 range and the Elven Mystic's Silence ability debuffs all enemy magic monsters by -1. So literally, I made all of his attacker weaker.
Moreover, all my monsters were targeting the same monster as I haven't used any sniper or sneak monster in this battle. So I easily killed down his Lord. The Lord + Spirit combo can sometimes become so immortal that you will lose your monsters one by one but would not able to beat down the combo. but this time, I was lucky.
3 of my monsters were having flying abilities and also the Cube got jacked up his heath upon every death in this battle. So till last 3 of my monsters were alive and that's the cause I win this one.
Joker777 is my daily opponent and there is hardly a day that we didn't play together as opponents in ranked matches. He is a brave player and I have lost countless times against him. If you are reading this, please give him a shout out ;)
