Hello lovely Hivers. Welcome once again to my blog, where I give you the latest happenings in the surgent gaming universe.

Remember last time, I told you I was close to challenging a foe as harrowing as Veridia? Well, I finally fought my way there! You can see the two green skulls showing you just how deadly my foe promises to be. I had only one key left for the day, so I had to make sure I'd win. Walk with me, as I regale you with my battle against Caelia.

I decided to go with my most powerful deck optimized to handle various situations. Though, I suspected Caelia might present me with a nasty surprise like Veridia did, I still went with this deck.

Well what do you know dear readers? I was right!! Caelia also started first with the cheating bear and dished out some serious damage to me! At first, I panicked because my destruction deck was optimized for reinforcement rulesets, I calmed down after going through my hand and seeing my beautiful salamander staring at me. I knew I had a chance, I just had to play smart.

I used my Salamander to take care of the cheating bear, but the evil dragonfly took out my Salamander in mutual destruction. But the field was clear, and I was going next. I had an advantage.

2 more turns and I had field dominance, like the Apex Predator I am.

Only for the evil Caelia to summon the Vile EMP-EROR. But this time, I could afford the hand destruction as my field wasn't empty. So, I sacrificed two cards to deal with the vile EMP-EROR.

Fast forward a few turns and I had refilled my hand while still maintaining field dominance.

Finally, I was ready to put Caelia out of its misery with my array of mechs. I had this duel in the bag.

Well, no suspense there. I once again established myself as the pinnacle lifeform, ruling over all lesser lifeforms in this pitiful planet of ours.

That's the end of that! I'll be focusing on the Solo Mode for a while to challenge all the decks there. It was recently revamped to add a bunch of hard decks we can choose to fight against.

Until then my fans, stay safe!
