SHARE YOUR BATTLE Weekly Challenge! -- Silvershield Bard
the battle which i am about to present you is not a battle
it is an art
the battle i am about to show you is not just a battle
it is glory
the battle which you are about to witness is not something you see every day
it is a fight worth -remembered
i'm very happy this week's challenge is giving me the opportunity to get this battle in public so all the Splinterlands fighters ( at least the ones following my posts ) can learn something out of it and realize that no matter the opponent, you have to fight with brains and passion and you can make it
Silvershield Bard is the true reason this battle comes into your screens but she wasn't the one that played critical part in the total outcome
Silvershield Bard is a rare Promo monster card
this means you will not find her in any booster pack, actually right now you will not find her anywhere else but the market
so for me it is totally collectible
i really won't discuss the value of this NFT in the battle and the utility of her
i will say twice that there are not so many copies of this monster-card out there so if you have the chance to get her ,maybe the purchase of Silvershield Bard can proved to be a very nice investment!
someone can say she is peaceful and likes to sing as she has no attack at all, but i say that her voice can play a critical role in the whole scene!
not in every battle though
no attack and fragile like thin air she cannot do many things than keeping the moral of her teamsters high!
lets have a better look on her stats
you can click on the following link to see my battle in which i used Silvershield Barn
...Silvershield's Bard battle...
as you understand after reading her stats her true advantage is that you can use her consuming just 1 point of mana plus she acquires the 'cleanse' effect which actually cleans all negative spells from the 1st positioned friendly monster
but i have to be true to you
i'm not using this monster a lot and i will explain you the reason why
when the battle is a low mana battle , you struggle to find a decent amount of monsters in order to achieve some attack power, in order to use the Bard you will lose 1 mana point which can be really really precious
on the other hand when we have a high mana cap battle there are a bunch of other monsters which will do the job better than the Bard
so you see either way this monster is a bit neglected
when do i use her then?... well it is my last choice, when i have built my deck and sometimes i have been left with 1 mana point instead of the ooze i use her
and the above battle is one of these, where i decided to use her but not only cause i was left with only 1 mana point to use
let me give you a tip
this tip comes out of my experience so some people might consider it's stupid but for me is a nice way of playing
most of the times when i'm about to throw the Bard in the battle i use in the first place a monster with the healing ability
i've lost many battles cause my monster with healing ability got struck by a rival monster's spell of 'Affliction' a dark magic spell which makes healing impossible
so i learnt through playing that if i had taken the Bard with me she would have made this dark spell gone and i would have won the fight
so this is the true reason i chose her to be part of my team in this battle
the battle was 38 mana cap which is a very nice number, it gives you many options to pick from
i had a quest on Earth Splinter running, and after checking on my opponent i thought Earth Splinter would be the right team to fight with
when i checked on the opponent i realized that this would be no easy battle
so in difficult and critical situations
who you gonna call???
THE PEAKRIDER!!
and let me confess that he was the real hero
if it was not for him i believe i would have lost the battle
his powers helped the team the most
my rival was stronger than me
i knew that from the beginning
his monsters were upgraded and most probably i would be an easy pray for his apetite
but not in this battle
he didn't see that coming!
in the first place i chose my Sacred Unicorn,i needed its healing ability
i thought that the healing ability plus the +3 points of armor from the summoner would make a very powerful tank so i went for it
in the second place i chose my Lunakari Mistress ,i wanted to have some magic power in case i had to deal with a potential opponent's armor and this is the reason why i placed in the third position my High Priest Darius , his 3 points of magic attack plus the 'resurrect' ability i knew would be of great help
in the fourth place the Silvershield Bard was positioned but let me tell you i placed her there after i had picked all my monsters...so after Darius i picked my Peacebringer and then my Air Elemental
these two last range attack monsters have very good attack power and most of the times i use them together
after i picked all my monsters i was left with 1 more mana point and i didn't know what to choose
i didn't have many options
it was the Ooze or the Silvershield Bard
why i chose the Bard has to do entirely with my tank
as i have told you before many times i have lost battles cause my healing tank got hit by the dark spell which makes healing ability not able to be used
i was afraid that my opponent , as he was stronger than me and had upgraded cards, could have probably posses a monster with this spell
in order to survive a hit like that i desperately needed the Bard
so i picked her and i intentionally placed her at the center of the battlefield in order to keep her safe from my enemy
i hope all this makes sense and you understand my gameplay
i hit the button and i anticipated to see my opponent's team
- Sacred Unicorn lvl 1
- Lunakari Mistress lvl 1
- High Priest Darius
- Silvershield Bard
- Peacebringer
- Air Elemental

what i was about to experience is a battle which you don't see every day
a lvl 1 deck destroyed a lvl 5 deck
it was literally a piece of art
everything worked as planned
the Bard though didn't have to use her skills
if you have some time spend 2 minutes to watch the battle
i guarantee , you won't regret it
