Hello to the entire community. On this occasion, I would like to discuss a rather interesting battle that can be fought in a tournament, giving me a good opportunity to comment on certain cards and characteristics that some may consider to be high-powered cards, which is not always the case. Or it should be the case, since there are certain playstyles, but it depends on the situation, whether it be the amount of mana, the rules in place, and how these can be combined in order to establish a strategy to achieve a flawless battle.
This time we have cards from the earth element as well as the dragon element, although I only see one dragon, or maybe two if I'm mistaken, but they are cards with great power, which surprises me because the opponent has an incredible way of going into battle, giving us a certain advantage even though it may not seem like it, meaning that this summoner gives us a much greater advantage. In my opinion, we have good features to establish a strategy. In my case , perhaps applying Kron of Undying, which not only gave me quite incredible potential, but was also able to accompany practically all the earth element cards, drying up one that I think gave a lot of prominence to all these cards.

This time we have a spectacular trio of cards that, at first glance, not only surprises us with what it can do in battle, but also gives us a very important perspective in terms of power, since so much power in a certain way helps prevent the opponent from understanding how a situation with so many cards can be so complicated.
Giving 'Gottem' Gearnut not only gives us 22 health points, which I think is a bit too exaggerated, but in the card that requires 14 mana points, making it not only a special card but also a totally powerful and indomitable one. But we also have a card with three ways to attack, and even though it doesn't have a very high attack power, we would certainly fear it because it can attack in different ways at any time. Finally, we have a card with 5 magic attack points, which makes it quite invincible, but not only that, this card can also recover life every time it attacks, and a fairly large amount. There are also cards that can reduce life and attack in last position as a form of support.

Analyzing this situation, I started to think a lot about how cards with so much power can cause a lot of destruction, which would make this type of card quite complex, but releasing them can mean that some are not, as in this case, since we are analyzing the earth element cards that are here, which I am using, as they have legendary dimensions, they are not a big deal since there are only two legendary pairs that, in a way, at first glance it might seem like a loss, but I applied a strategy based on the way they can attack, since this time we have a rule that the one with the least amount of life is attacked. Knowing this, I used cards that can increase speed and attack from the last position. Even though they have a slightly low amount of life, they could deal certain blows to reduce the number of enemies.
Another strategy I used was to think that by using the Scarred Llama Mage summoner while waiting for other monsters to be taken down, I could be left alone with Kron the Undying, giving me the opportunity to use the assistant's ability, thus increasing a power-up that could even finish off these three characters. But seeing that a good strategy could be used, I could see that they were able to resist in battle, giving me some relief in the face of those three big monsters, which in my opinion were difficult to defeat. However, thanks to Arkemis the Bear, I was able to apply a reduction to the first monster's attack, which I think is perfect for giving us a much fairer battle. Some may think that older cards are weaker than newer ones, but this time I can show you that you can get good gameplay with older cards. .
