Good morning, dear friends of Hive and, specifically, of the Splinterlands Universe. Another week of fulfilling my contribution to the Social Media Challenge with a new analysis of a card from the game. To tell you the truth, I'm really looking forward to the new Arcane edition coming into our lives to expand my decks, my play possibilities, and also to expand the cards I can analyze in this weekly challenge. I'm really excited about this new edition; I hope it doesn't disappoint me and can boost my Splinterlands play. Without further ado, let's get to the point with a new edition of the Social Media Challenge and a new analysis of a card that's going to give me a solid win in this season that's just begun. Let's get to the point.
This week I've been feeling a bit nostalgic. The last few weeks I've been focusing on the Fire deck, analyzing some really interesting cards. And I've been missing my beloved Water deck, so this week I'm returning to it to, continuing the nostalgia, analyze a legendary card that's been in my roster for a while now and that I use almost every day in one of my battles. I'm telling you about Kulu Mastermind, a legendary card from the Water deck that has an ability that is decisive if you know how to make the most of it, as I'm going to show you in this analysis and in the usual example battle. It's true that it has a really high mana cost to summon, but in return you get some characteristics that can give you victory on their own. Yes, indeed, Kulu Mastermind is a finisher that shouldn't be missing from your roster and your strategies with this aquatic deck.
As I mentioned in the previous paragraph, we're looking at a card from the Water deck of legendary rarity that has a summoning cost of nine mana points. At its initial level, in exchange for those nine points, we'll have four points of attack and vitality, and nine of vitality, in addition to two special abilities that give us a beastly bonus. These abilities are none other than Weapons Training and Opportunity. A tremendous combination of special abilities. If Opportunity allows Kulu to carry out attacks from the second line, Weapons Training gives attacks to adjacent cards that don't have it. You guessed it; it usually places either Baakjira or, as in today's case, the epic Noa the Just on one of its flanks. To complete its evolution, at level 2 it gains Shield, and finally, at its fourth level of evolution, it gains Enrage. Devastating.
This week's battle, where you'll see the tremendous power of Kulu Mastermind, pits me against Joetunex, who will also be forming a Water deck with Kulu Mastermind in second position. He'll also be using Noa the Just and Baakjira on his flanks, but that won't be enough to defeat my strategy. It's a battle with 35 summoning mana available, and Beefcakes and Equal Opportunity as battle conditions to keep in mind. Let's see how the fight went.
The presence of Halfling Refugee and Deeplurker in my opponent's ranks instead of Coastal Sentry and Cruel Sethropd in mine marked the development of the game. We both agreed on Shock Trooper, a good card but also very dangerous for its own teammates, Kulu Mastermind and Noa the Just. Initially, my opponent had the advantage of Kulu's bonus to two of his cards. However, the position in which we placed Noa the Just, him as a tank, and me behind Kulu, allowed my Noa to remain on the battlefield longer and take advantage of its benefits for more turns. As you've seen, Kulu Mastermind is a decisive card that contributes a lot, both through its own abilities and through the bonus it provides to adjacent cards that don't have attack points. It's a card that you'll definitely play when battle conditions arise that allow you to attack cards in the second line. I strongly recommend that if you don't have Kulu Mastermind in your roster, you do your best to add it. It will be worth it from the moment you start using it.
