Battle Summoner

I choose DELWYN DRAGONSCALE as a Summoner for this battle, which is a Reward edition common Dragon Splinter Summoner. It costs 5 mana and has one ability of +1 magic attack of all magic attack monsters used under this summoner. I don't have this summoner I rented it just for 2 days to participate in the Brawls. In the current brawl, I entered the Gold foil cards fray due to which I rented this summoner. I used this summoner in this battle because I don't have any other Dragon splinter summoner in the Gold foiled version and it was a brawl battle. This summoner worked very well for me in this battle and I won it.

1. PELACOR MERCENARY:

In the first position, I used the PELACOR MERCENARY which is a reward edition melee attack common monster from the Earth splinter. It costs 7 mana, does a -3 melee attack, and has a Flying ability at level 1. I have used it in the first position because of its high speed and good melee -3 attack. I used it at the level 3 in the gold foile because in this battle I could use only the Gold foil cards. Currently I have this card at level 3 in the Gold foil version.

2. VENARI MARKSRAT:

In the second position, I used VENARI MARKSRAT which is also a reward edition rare range attack monster from the Neutral Splinter. It costs 3 mana, does a -1-range attack, and has a Martyr ability at level 1. I used it in the second position because of its Martyr ability so when it dies it will increase the stats of monsters in the first and third positions. My main aim to use this monster was to increase the stats of Quora which I used in the third position. I have got it at level 2 from the focus rewards.

3. QUORA TOWERSHEAD:

In the third position, I used QUORA TOWERSHEAD which is a Gladius edition an Epic melee-magic attack monster from the Earth splinter. It costs 10 mana and does a dual attack of -2 melee and -2 magic attack, along with the Heal and Bloodlust abilities at level 1. I have upgraded it to level 3 in which it gains one more ability Immune in the regular foil. Here I used it in this battle at level 2 in the Gold foil because of its Bloodlust ability. Currently, I have this monster at level 2 in the Gold foil that I got from the Gladius pack opening.

4. FUNGUS FLINGER:

In the fourth position, I used FUNGUS FLINGER which is also a reward edition common range attack monster from the Earth Splinter. It costs 3 mana, does a -1-range attack, and has a Martyr ability at level 1. I used it in the fourth position because of its Martyr ability so when it dies it will increase the stats of monsters in the third and fifth positions. I especially use it after the Quora to increase its Stats. I have got it at level 3 from the focus rewards.

5. XENITH ARCHER:

In the fifth position, I used the XENITH ARCHER, which is a Chaos Legion edition rare Range attack monster from the Neutral Splinter. It costs 2 mana, does a -1 range attack, and has no ability at level 1. I used it in this battle because it only cost 2 mana and it was available in the Gold foil version which I selected. Currently, I have this monster at level 2 and it works fine for me in battles.

6. DUMACKE ORC:

In the last position, I used the DUMACKE ORC which is also a Reward edition common melee attack monster from the Neutral Splinter. It costs 6 man, does a -2 melee attack, and has a Sheild ability at level 1. I used it in the last position because of its Sheild ability and also it gains the Thorns ability from the ruleset. I have upgraded it to level 5 in the regular foil but here I used level 3 in the Gold foil.
