Heyyy yooooo what's up Splinter Player around the Praetoria how are you doing? In this content i want to share the topic from @splinterlands weekly community challenge about Battlefield Breakdowns. And this time i will share that turns out that Promo cards always OP even if not the Meta ones. Anyway since i am still in Diamond League so i think this battle should be not too high end battle. But, i dont know since yesterday i often meet up player that supposed in High End Player. I dont complain about that since i am still building brick by brick with my deck. I believe someday i will arrive as high end player but i still dont know when. Maybe not today maybe not tomorrow but someday i will going there. So, about this battle. I think i can learn about one condition that kinda makes me realized that not everything can be measured with total attack. Sometimes bringing debuff support ability is more important than the attack itself. So, lets see how the battle going shall we.
So, this is Silence ability that many player already know that this ability is -1 debuff for magic damage and since after Chaos legion set goes to Wild, somehow right now Magic army is the best choice in the battlefield. Especially after Kelan Gaines Release and be a strong Meta. But, after reading in @bravetofu X account that he can beat Kelan Gaines by bringing 3 unit that having 3 silenced ability and combined with Void ability. Right now Many people starting to follow and bringing many Units that having Silence ability. So, right now each battle of magic battle contain 2 choice. Bringing more Silence unit and have less damager. Or bringing more Damager so even it got debuff the team still can beat the opponent. And in this battle turns out that bringing Unit that having Silence is kinda important than bringing many magic damager.

So, in this battle i am using 1 unit that having Silence ability and the rest is full magic damage. With the limited choice that i have right now. I just follow my gut and bring many unit that having huge magic damage. And this is what i am bring into battlefield.
For the Archon i am using Lorkus like you guys can see in the battle thumbnail. This archon gives both melee and magic damager 1 buff and also gives 2 units either Life Leech and Affliction or Trample and Fury. And in this battle i am pick Life Leech and Affliction ability.
And i pick up this as frontline tanker because this unit just costing 6 mana as Frontline tanker with kinda pretty good to hold from Magic damager because this unit having Void Armor ability that will make any magic damage will be damaging the armor first before health then Weaken ability that can reduce 1 max health on opponent line up as long as this unit still alive and the last is Opress that can do double damage if the opponent using non attacker units.
Next i am using Nalara Geinek as Secondary tanker. This unit having pretty decent ability with 10 health and 5 armor. Having Amplify ability that can increase damage that attacked back such as Magic Reflect, Thorns, and Return Fire. The second is Silence like i already explain above that reducing 1 magic damage. And then Void ability that key to holding form any magic damage. Then the last is stun that having chance to stunning opponent and having chance to be stunned.
The third unit is i am bring Infernal Firestorm. This unit costing 10 mana with 3 magic damage and having 4 speed which is average. 11 health that kinda enough and 7 armor. The ability is Flank that can gives any melee damager reach ability. And then Demoralize that can make opponent melee damage will debuff 1 too.
The fourth liner i am bringing Barashkukor, The legendary unit that having huge damage for magic damager. And also this unit having 8 health and 5 armor. And the manacost is way too higher with 13. This unit having 3 abilities that is Fury that can double the damage when attacking any taunt unit monster. Then Weaken ability that will reduce opponent max health. And the last is Magic Reflect that is can counte any magic damage that hit this unit.
And the last but not least is Arachne Weaver. This unit is kinda having complex ability as assasin and also a tanker. The stats of this unit is kinda pretty good. The first ability is Corruption Healing that can healing all unit that having damage. It heals and reduce the max health by 1. Then the second ability is Scavenger that can get max health after one of unit die in battle. And the last is Poison that will having chance to give poison ability to opponent that get hit by this unit.
At first i just blame that this match will be one sided feeling since after seen Tashosi Drakomoto. Since this unit is Promo card that usually very Op when getting used in battlefield like Kelan Gaines that usually being used so many times in ranked modern. But, it turns out that what makes my team lose in this battle is the opponent bring 3 unit that having silence ability. That will make my Barashkukor having only 3 magic damage. At first my team still can win the battle, but suddendly my team lost due my team total damage are less and the opponent only just 1 magic debuff. Thats why i am losing in this battle.
