Hey everyone, it's another Thursday so it's about time to make my first Splinterlands blog post for this week, but first of all, welcome back to my Splinterlands blog! Here I will be making at minimum two Splinterlands posts every week because It's fun making then plus it helps to buy new cards, because the good ones are not cheap!
When you're a Splinterlands player or only interested in the game and don't know: The Splinterlands Team is making weekly challenges for players to participate in, with it you can earn nice rewards in the form of Hive Backed Dollar you can use to buy cards or SPS with (tip: swap HBD to DEC with Hive Keychain!) and the Hive Power is best to keep staked in your hive account you can use to up vote other people with, giving a small income for both you and the author of the post.
This weeks Splinterlands Social Media Challenge is the same as last weeks:

So let's get going!
Silencing the Leech
So, two weeks ago I made a post about how to counter one of the Kings of the current meta, Eternal Tofu. It's the most expensive one and also the one I lose the most to when I don't know it's coming, or sometimes in certain ruleset I just don't have an answer to, it's really strong.
There is another King out there though able to summon creatures from the Death and Fire splinters and his name is Lorkus, many players use his powers to just force wins, only relying on his strength and while this can be pretty effective I don't like this kind of game play so I find great joy in countering those players. Don't get me wrong, Lorkus is a fine card and I wish I owned it and there's nothing wrong with using him when the mana cap and rule sets are good to play him, but spamming him whenever the Fire or Death splinters are open to be chosen from isn't the most fun way of playing I think. 😅
In fact, there's one player with a Bronze deck playing in Diamond, (I won't call him or her out 😆) when I see the player name and the right splinters are open, I know Lorkus will be there...
The price of Lorkus is what is keeping me from buying him, at the time of writing, a Silver level Lorkus (3 Card Copies) is just under $140 and when you only want one copy it's just below $60... wow! I remember him being in the 30's per CC...
Death has always been my go to, countering magic teams before Immortalis and Grandmaster Rathe arrived, and it's good to see the Death splinter still have some nice option for this, with the use of these two specialists
