Coastal Sentry a deadlier Reach ability beast

This battle looks like a great victory but make no mistake it is one of those victories after 9 losses out of 9 fights against Possibilus The Wise.

I am losing battles against Possibilus The Wise, it is so bad, I get cooked every time and it is very painful that I am helpless.

Since I am no longer renting cards, it is tougher for me to come up with a better win rate against Possibilus, so whenever I emerge victorious, it is sometimes by luck or a weaker lineup by an opponent.

In the battle, for instance, Coastal Sentry would have been a better card in the opponent's second position instead of Diemonshark which would have done better as the Tank.

The Double Strike ability of Coastal Sentry when used with Inspire ability is pure wickedness! And sorry for you if you have been on the receiving end like me.

My Lineup

I just can't stop using IIDRI FYRE as my Tank, can I? So I had it in the first sport in my lineup. I always opt for Iidri Fyre because of the Redemption ability it has. The -1 on the health of the enemy lineup, when Iidri Fyre dies, goes a long way to help in the fight.

I decided to use double Taunt ability cards, so MAGNOR takes up the second spot in my lineup with Taunt and Enrage abilities. It turned out a good choice since my Taunt ability cards kept the opponent's Opportunity cards busy.

Magnor is no joke when enraged. Having Magnor in the frontline helped in getting rid of the opponent's Tank Elven Defender which was tough to get rid of due to the shield ability.

SCORCH FIEND in the third spot in my lineup was to take a hit for the team and that came 6th round following a trample attack from Diemshark.

FINA VOXOM had a successful fight, it is uncommon for Voxom to have a bad fight if properly placed in the team. The hunt for the weakest in health is what Fina Voxom thrives at and it is so amazing to watch as she hunts down the next weak link in the enemy lineup for a boost of her stats.

Fina Voxom possesses Opportunity, Bloodlust, and Piercing abilities which make her a pain to stop when she gets going.

A Martyr boost will be of great benefit to Voxom and Sinash so placing VENARI MARKSRAT in between both of them has often paid off against enemy Sneak ability attacks. There was however no sneak attack but Marksrat played a vital role in the final moment of the fight with a range strike that reduced Diemonshark health by 1 for Voxom to finish off.

COUNTESS SINASH occupies the backline in my lineup with the Opportunity, Camouflage, and Swift abilities that make her a darling in my lineup but far from a darling when she swiftly takes out her opponent.

I bet I would have lost the fight if my opponent had used Coastal Sentry in the second spot of the lineup, hopefully, I get more of this kind of lineups.
