Splinterlands Social Media Challenge - Renting cards to continue battling for weeks

Hello, everyone on this noble platform and the Hive ecosystem at large. I am very excited to write and share this excellent article with you all, and I hope you guys will enjoy reading it as well. Today, I am writing this post as part of the Splinterlands Social Media Challenge, and it is an exciting one that I think you all will love. A battle of fierce where equal opponents meet on the battlefield to showcase their talent.

In my first Splinterlands Social Media post, I shared with you how I purchased my Spellbook and my card rental journey right after buying the Spellbook. Today, I will share a fantastic battle that I hope you guys will like. After playing several battles and advancing to the bronze league, I understand that it is not as easy as it was when I used to play on the wood stage, where I was winning every battle that came my way. Today, there is a limitation for me, especially getting good rebellion cards to play in the modern format league. As such, if you have any good rebellion cards to spare me, I am available to receive them with care and love.

The battle was a 99 mana, and I selected my team from the Life Deck this time, not from the Earth Deck. All six elements were active in the battle, and the ruleset was the Standard, where there was no exception in the battle. Silverblade Fighter monster was my first positioned card, and with its flank ability, allows any melee attacker monster in the second position to receive a snipe ability.

The first round was full of attacks from my opponent onto my first position monster, and with a heal ability in my team lineup, I was able to revive a little health of my Silverblade Fighter monster before the second round started. No monster was eliminated from either side of the team lineup at the end of the first round. Even though my first positioned card was of low health which I doubted it could withstand the next round again.

At the start of the second round, I attacked first, and the Aria Bandit monster in my fifth position attacked and eliminated the second-position monster in my opponent's team lineup. My first position Monster Silverblade Fighter, was also eliminated by the Wilhelmdale Deputy monster in the fourth position of my opponent's team lineup. I was able to eliminate one monster from my opponent in the second round, while my opponent also eliminated one monster from my team. The battle was tough but I realized I was going to lose it because my opponent had a heal ability monster which was reviving some health of it's first position card which happen to be a threat to me in the battle.

In the next round (third), I wasn't able to eliminate not even one of the monsters from my opponent's position again, even though I had made several attacks attempt. My opponent gained momentum after eliminating the second monster from my team lineup, and then it went ahead and eliminated the last position monster in my team lineup with its snipe ability card.

In the last and fourth round, my opponent had five more monsters in the team lineup while I only have two monsters left in my team and this junction I knew no magic could have made me win the battle.

My last position monster was easily eliminated and taken down in the middle of the fourth round, and I was defeated at the end of it all. Link

Thank you, everyone, for reading my post again after a long break on Hive.
