Lorkus | The Tactical Strength Giver| A Win Win

Love this artwork by @artfuldreamer

It is the time for the week engagement challenge and we have the tactical summoners on point this time around, tactical summoners aren't my regular type of card and the main reason is that these cards are really expensive to buy especially the good ones and to rent them, you will have to spend more than the normal price you need on regular cards. For a newbie, what is a tactical card, this are cards that have extra abilities to select from, this aren't just monster cards but summoners and apart from the normal 1- 2 extra strength added to all friendly monster cards, this cards come with extra abilities which you can pick from. Whenever you use a tactical summoner card, after submitting your selection, instead of going immediately to the battle section, a page will pop up with a countdown asking you to pick which abilities you want to give a particular monster cards.

When it get to picking which tactical summoner I really prefer using if I have the chance is usually Lorkus or Eternal Tofu, Lorkus is a dual based summoner for both death and fire element which make it a cool one for me especially when it come to giving extra +1 melee and +1 magic to the friendly monster card, I love using magic cards so it is one good summoner for me, when it come to Op tactical summoner, eternal tofu actually top the list, an earth/life dual based summoner which came in with thorn, snare and +2 health, then either divine shield & corrosive ward or triage & scavenger. This particular card give the vibe of kitty and mylor crowling from the wild rank battle, it is rarely hard to defeat especially in a battle without magic cards, I would have just go for it but renting a max tofu is really expensive.

One have to be tactical when it come to playing this kind of battle, I had one where we had 3 ruleset, super sneak which give all cards the sneak ability, holy protection which bring in the divine shield and lastly fire & regret which bring in the return fire and deal damage back to range attackers, most of the time we players won't be using range card in this kind of battle, and since the super sneak ability is present, there are chances that he will surely want to use more melee cards instead of more magic cards, it was a good guest so I was kind of prepare since we had 47 mana which is enough, I had to pick Lorkus as my tactical summoner to add extra strength to my selection. I picked Cursed windeku as my frontline, since sneak is available which will make melee cards attack from any position and attack the opponent backline, I picked Forgotten one next with retaliate and piercing and also the strength was very important. I needed magic cards so I picked Djinn apprentice because of the 3 strength which cool for the battle theb Gargoya Lion with the void ability just in case, there is no way this kind battle can happen without picking a counter cards like Harklaw with shield and demoralize then I balanced it with magi necrosis a camouflage magic card with the snipe ability.

The selection really work well against my opponent, he came in with all melee cards so harklaw was a good choice as a backline, while windeku for the frontline, also I get to reduce his strength while I add to mine, his couple of cards were really strong but I came prepared, I had to give my first two cards the tactic abilties Trample and fury but the sneak spoil the work since trample after destroying a backline card wont attack the adjacent card before it, so it wasn't activated but the battle was really a great one, none of my cards got destroyed, I won the battle with my full deck.
