0.000 HBDSplinterlands Social Media Challenge! Are You Not Entertained?! A Unique Combat Rule!
 Greetings to all my fellow players around the world and to Splinterlands. Once a week I give time to write something about Splinterlands. Today I will be sharing about an epic battle using **Gladius Card** or I like to call it **"Gladiator"**. A battle from rank in modern with a Combat Rule as the title suggest **"Are You Not Entertained?"**.  # <center>**ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?**</center>  **The Rules of the battle are:** * **Unprotected** - meaning no cards will posses armor. All cards are expose to direct hit. * **Reverse Speed** - the sequence of attack will be base on card with the lowest speed. The slower the card the better. * **Are You Not Entertained?** - This rule allows the player to use one Gladiator card. * **58 Mana Cap** * **Elements Available** - Fire, Life, and Dragon The Reverse Speed and Are You Not Entertained rules contradict each other. Gladiator, with bloodlust ability increases its speed everytime it kills while rule of reverse speed gives the advantage of attacking first to card with a lower speed. Will I still use Gladiator? Yes! Since the mana cap is 58, I know that this is going to be an offensive type of battle. All the strong cards with high mana can be easily squeeze in. # <center>**MY LINE UP**</center>  My first option is to use Eternal Tofu along with Captain Katie and Olivia of the Brooks to mimic the bloodlust ability, its like having two Gladiator. But then again I change my mind and go for the Dragon Element combining it with Life. I chose Nidhoggr as my archon, mainly for the blast. Since no armor in battle the minus one armor is already cancelled, but the other one still applies-minus one HP. Even if enemy use Eternal Tofu it will only get plus 1 HP. Then my cards are Rage, Marisol Contuma(Gladiator), Calabash Sage, Caravan Guard, and Bellowmancer. All my first 3 cards have 4 damage, putting the blast ability that Nidhoggr grant to my three cards will provide so much damage. A destruction that are really hard to counter. While the three cards are wrecking team, tpphe Caravan Guard will provide support to Bellowmancer while it recieve blows from the enemy. My disadvantage? I can only use 5 cards becuase Nidhoggr has Force Reduction, it reduces my team size by 1. But nevertheless I am confident with the damage of my three cards at the frontline and the defensive capability at the rearside. # <center>**ENEMIES LINE UP**</center>  As I predicted, my enemy picked Eternal Tofu, why not? It is one of the most strongest Archon in Modern Format. A powerhouse lineup as well with Bera Dallin, Thanalorian Archer, Janni Rebel, Harbinger of Chaos, Captain Katie, and Meriput Magician. We both use the Taunt ability to absorb the attack and safeguard other damager cards. But I think Bera Dallin cannot handle too much damage even with the support of a healer, and besides he is unprotected without his armor. And with the blast ability of my three frontliner, the next card to Bera Dallin can also be killed easily. My opponent had put Captain Katie in the safest position possible but I think she will too will be overwhelm by the damage. I think that the Gladiator and Bloodlust ability is one of the most exciting cards to play in Splinterlands. There are also some regular cards with Bloodlust playable even without the Gladiator Combat Rule.

Happy watching and I hope you like it and be able to adapt it in your own style of play. I am concentrating mainly on rank modern the past days. I haven't have the time to touch the Frontier which is really going viral now. But I hope I can put some time to it as well, coz i've seen there are really good cards in Frontier Format.  Thats about it folks. I will see you in next challenge.
