Round 1

As soon as the battle began, my opponent had the +1 speed and shield applied to the cards and my cards had the piercing ability added to my cards. We attacked each other and at the end of round 1, my opponent's first card had a health of 10 and my first card had a health of 5.

Round 3 did not last long and after the 4th attack from my card, my opponent's first card was no more.

My opponent gave me a scare taking my health to 2. Luckily, I managed to attack with 5 range and won this battle.
