Share Your Battle: Deeplurker

Prelude
Hello everybody, how is everyone doing? Today I am going to do a sharing on Deeplurker. The recommended sharing for this week is dragons but unfortunately, there is no notable match for me on Dragons but there is a match I want to share which Deeplurker was instrumental.

Thoughts on Deeplurker

As it says, lurker. This card shines when opportunities are being presented to it.

Without further a do, let's get started with this week's sharing.
Let's look at the Level 1 base stats for Deeplurker:

Mana	Attack	Health	Speed	Armour	Ability
6	3 (Melee)	6	2	NA	Opportunity

Bronze League - Health + 1, Speed + 1
Silver League - Attack + 1, Speed + 1
Gold League - Health - 1, Attack + 1, Poison
Beyond Gold - Health + 1, Demoralize

What does Deeplurker looking on growth?

Just wow. One of the best common card I ever worked with.
It just gets more hard hitting and faster as it progresses through bronze and silver.

As it goes to gold and beyond, it gains poison and demoralise. Opportunity alongside poison just makes the victim more vulnerable. What more when there is demoralise which further weaken opponent melee globally.

A complete poacher with abilities to identify weakness, afflict poison and demoralise opponent lineup.

Alritey, let's see start the battle sharing.

Opponent Lineup

• Position 1 - Pelacor Mercenary
• Position 2 - Fungus Fiend
• Position 3 - Queen Mycelia
• Position 4 - Goblin Psychic
• Position 5 - Mitica Headhunter
• Position 6 - Kron The Undying

Prediction before pressing rumble
Dang, the dreaded Llama and Kron is here again. With healed out rule set, I might stand a chance.

Let's get ready to rumble
Round 1, Diemonshark taking a lot of punishment. And worse the return fire made Axemaster take a big deal of returned damage.

Round 2, Diemonshark fall to the massive bombardment while Pelacor Mercenary fell too to the hands of Deeplurker while Torrent Fiend took out its earth counterpart.

Round 3, Torrent fiend fell right at the start and Deeplurker strikes again after seeing an expose Queen Mycelia.

Round 4, Axemaster did its best while taking return fire, taking out Goblin Psychic and Mitica Headhunter. Last stand activated.

Round 5/6, Bombardment to Kron starts and Deeplurker finished it off during round 6.

After Thoughts
Quite frankly, seeing Llama Kron is always a challenge. Deeplurker has shown in this match on the opportunity ability that it posses and putting away the weak and exposed.

Time after time, the hard hitting nature of Deeplurker takes out important cards in opponent lineup and during the final bombardment, the 3 damage really helps to wean down Kron fast.

Did my strategy work in this game? I am glad that it took out key cards during the battle while Oshannus held the fort by soaking damage and dodging big magic damage as well. The high damage is really good. 3 damage can effective take out many critters.

Will I be using Deeplurker in the future? Deeplurker is another of the more instrumental cards in my lineup and I love how it just takes out pesky problematic cards before they do serious trouble to my lineup with the speed and damage that Deeplurker possess.

Deeplurker, a common card that goes a long way. Very viable in higher leagues as it levels up. Fast, hard hitting and with good abilities. While it is already awesome at level 1, do get a few more copies and level it up to realize its full potential.
