This match is between ranking champions. Ferocity and Broken Arrows were the game's rule sets. Only Fire and Earth were available in this 26-mana game. Oridum Graybrow and Vicious Giraffe were in the first two spots when I started with Lorkus. I had Venka the Vile behind them. They put Halfling Refugee in front and chose Eternal Tofu. Then came Thanalorian Blade, Ujurak Elder, and Lurking Puffer. Their final unit was Venka as well.
Oridum Graybrow and Venka received Life Leech and Affliction from me. They neglected to use their tactics. After they attacked my Graybrow, their Venka dropped to seven. The Refugee was killed by Venka, who also used Trample to get rid of the Puffer, after the Giraffe put him at 8 HP. It may have sustained some damage from Thorns, but Life Leech helped it reach 12 HP. After Graybrow's strike, their Elder lived at 1 HP. In the second round, my Giraffe defeated the Elder, while Venka reduced Graybrow to 3 HP. My Venka then destroyed their final two troops. Divine Shield would have greatly improved their squad because Venka would not have been able to do those Trample attacks, but I do not think Triage and Scavenger would have had much of an impact. I continue to believe that I would have prevailed because Graybrow would have returned and been too formidable for them to handle.
