It is another splinterland weekend challenge post and we well be picking one of the earth element and also a magic cards. I really dont like making use of earth element even though they have stronger cards but I really dont have a good summoner to back them up so most times I just skip using them unless I rent some good summoner to use with them. This time we are to make use of the Goblin Psychic which have some good ability when maxed which include Tank heal at level 1, Affliction at level 4, Silence at level 7 and Dispel at level 10 which is really good. This card is really good with some rules like the reverse speed rule or if you car combining it with some good swiftness cards to increase the speed. Not my favorite yet but let go into the battle proper.

This battle was between me and @jenna16 in a 23 mana cap battle and also with the Holy Protection rules which give a divine protection to all cards and we are to pick from all element except death and dragon. Even though water was my favorite, I still have to try out the earth element for this battle and prior to that i decided to rent some cards to boost my win.
My Formation
Since we were giving 23 mana cap I just have to pick the cards carefully so firstly I had to rent Scarred Llama Mage a 7 mana cap summoner with some unique ability which include an extra 2 health, a last stand ability and a cleanse ability, this summoner is really a good one even though the mana cap is somehow high but useful and i had to choose this because of the last stand ability so I picked Furious chicken as my frontline even though it is one of the weakest card in splinterland right now and can be destoryed easily. so i back it up with Uraeus a melee attacker with the sneak and poisonous ability, really a good card but not fit in the second position but i really dont have a choice here. Then i use the main card Goblin Psychic, since I am using mage as my summoner I cant put this card in my last position because to me, it is not strong enough so I decided to use Hydra as my last stand card with some huge ability which include healing, thorn, retalilate, trample ability and it really work out.

You will love to check out this battle and see how hydra got the last stand and faced 6 cards even with the almighty Dr. Blight and still defeat them all thanks to Mage cleanse ability that remove all negative effect which give me extra advantage against him and I won.
