VENARI CRYSTALSMITH
Edition: REWARD 📘
Rarity: RARE 🔷
Element: LIFE 🏳️
Ability: TANK HEAL ✨
Good Day everyone! Today, I will be reviewing a reward card I know will shot up in value once the printing of this card stops. Venari Crystalsmith is one of the most useful and versatile card that you can fit on any teams when you are using the life summoner. It can serve as a regular range attacker with its low mana cost and reliable speed, you can also use it as a tank thanks to its great ability of Tank Heal, allowing it to constantly surive hits and out tank the opponent. At level 6, it will also recieve the ability Dispel, removing any buffs that the enemy has as long at Venari Crystalsmith was able to hit it. With this thing in mind,Venari Crystalsmith becomes on of the most versatile support while also serving as a range attacker or even a tank! Now, here is my attempt in using this card; You can check out the game replay here: Click Here! ✨

⚜️ Round 1
The game started with me getting lucky because the opponent has 2 range attackers that I know that I could easily deal with! The game is already in my favor.
⚜️ Round 2
I easily KO'ed Pelacor Arbalest thanks to the Return Fire ability. The opponent has now no way on dealing with my Chaos Knight!
⚜️ Round 3
Slowly but surely, my team is dealing with my opponent one at a time!
⚜️ Round 4
Finally, with no monster that can attack, I won this game by a landslide!
Result ☠️
In the end, I won thanks to the great support of Venari Crystalsmith and Ilthain gave my Chaos Knight, it became unstoppable, securing us the victory!
🏳️ Did your strategy work?
Yes. My opponent has no chance of comeback since I was able to predict the type on cards that she will be using and build my team based on that.
🏳️ What will you try differently next time?
I could try using Pecalor Conjurer next time to see if I could fit more attackers on this team since the Return Fire dealt most of the damage on my opponent's team.
🏳️ Did I like this strategy? Why or why not?
Yes and I will try on using this team combo on my other game next time. The bulk that Chaos Knight have is no joke and when partnered up with a good support, They could be unstoppable!
🏳️ Do I like VENARI CRYSTALSMITH? Why or why not?
I do! The ability to deal damage while also supporting the team is very valuable and Venari Crystalsmith have that both. It is quite versatile and powerful for that mana cost. It also have a really nice card design!
