They say there is nothing more beautiful than a Regal Peryton. They prefer to live in the mountains all across the Splinterlands, rarely seen by others. When they soar through the skies, the sunlight catches through their wings and creates rainbows underneath them. Regal Perytons are highly intelligent and consider themselves noble guardians of the natural world, using their magic to help others.
Rihue lay upon a rocky outcropping on the side of the mountain, shivering beneath an overcast sky. He stared at his ruined leg and his broken ankle.
He’d been hunting game and gathering fruits and berries for his wife and daughter who lived back home in their little cabin when he’d slipped and shattered his leg on the rocks. He’d shouted himself hoarse, but it was no use. No one could hear him. No one was coming.
That had been three days ago. His food and water were gone. He couldn’t make it back down the mountain on his own. He was going to die.
But then Rihue heard a call like that of a bird and saw a creature descending through the sky toward him. It had the head and body of a stag, with massive antlers upon its head, but instead of forelegs, two mighty wings grew from its shoulders. Its coat and feathers were white and shades of purple, and it was the most beautiful creature Rihue had ever seen.
The Regal Peryton landed beside him on the outcropping and regarding him with one intelligent eye. Then it lowered itself and, with a nod of its majestic head, extended a wing.
Rihue crawled toward it, up the wing and onto the creatures back. He clung tightly as it spread its wings and soared into the sky, down the mountain, and toward salvation.
OVERVIEW AND STATS
- LEVEL 1 - FLYING
Has an increased chance of evading Melee or Ranged attacks from Monsters who do not have the Flying ability with +25% chance of evading. Cumulative with Dodge and Blind, to get up to + 65% chance of evading Melee or Ranged attacks. Summoner Brighton Bloom gives this ability to every friendly monster at the start of a battle. A fast monster with Flying and Dodge will be very hard to hit by Melee and Ranged attacks. Snare can remove Flying. Does not work against enemies that have Flying itself. It does not affect magic attacks -

RULES AND STRATEGIES
1. The ruleset of the match is Keep Your Distance. Monsters with Melee attack may not be used in battles. It is advised to keep no attack or higher HP monsters in the front or keep higher speed Magic monsters with abilities like Flying, Dodge, Blind in the front.
2. The mana cap is 22 mana which decent to formed a great team. Usually within this range of mana cap, I would pick death splinter.
3. I could not use water and dragon splinter. This is quite challenging since most of my great mage are from water splinter. But I do have a decent team of mage from the earth splinter just not as good as water team.
LINE UP
My team at the bottom
OBSIDIAN
Obsidian give +1 magic boost to mage. I pick it because since I could not use any melee monster and I also could not use water splinter team. On top of that I have a few great mages in earth splinter team. So, it is very clear that Obsidian is the best summoner to use in this case in my opinion.
FAILED SUMMONER
Failed Summoner cost 2 mana, have 2 speed, 4 hit point and have Reflect ability. I pick it because of its ability to encounter any mage since I predict enemy will use mage also in their strategy. Plus, in cost only 2 mana in exchanged for 4 hit point which is a huge bonus
REGAL PERYTON
It have 1 magic, 5 speed, 6 hit point, a Flying ability and cost my team 5 mana. I pick it because of speed and Flying ability combination so it will be harder to hit if my enemy pick a range monster in its team. Also, mana cost to hit point is not bad which is 5:6 ratio.
MAGI OF CHAOS
Magi's stats are 2 magic, 2 speed, 5 hit point and cost 6 mana. I choose this monster because it dealt 2 magic before any boost and have 5 hit point which is decent. I place it after Regal because I wanted to protect this monster and hopefully it survive longer. This card is pretty underrated for know since any neutral mage is great addition to any card collection.
KHEMER PRINCESS
It cost only 2 mana, have 1 magic and speed with only 2 hit point. I placed second last because of its low hit point. Although is does not give any big impact, any addition to my team firepower is a great thing have.
DJINN BILJKA
With Camouflage ability paired with 1 magic, 1 speed , 2 hit point and cost 3 mana. It is a must to put Biljka at the back line since it have Camouflage ability, it will survive until all the monster in my team get eliminate. I really recommend to buy Djinn Biljka since it is super cheap and provide a huge value in term of collection power to cost ratio and long-term value to your earth team.
THE MATCH
ROUND 1
My team get debuff of -2 armor which useless since none of my monster have an armor. Obsidian give magic buff to all my mage monster. Regal start the initial attack to opponent.
Regal Peryton received 2 reflect damage from enemy Failed Summoner. Then, Magi of Chaos ended enemy Failed Summoner with 3 magic damage.
Khmer Princess of oppose team is eliminate by Biljka with one hit.
ROUND 2
At the start of round 2, 2 monster of the enemy team are eliminate which are Failed Summoner and Khmer Princess.
Child of The Forest able to hurt Regal but that is not enough to eliminate Regal. Instead, Mantoid is being knock out by Regal instead.
Then, Child of The Forest is the last one to be eliminate by Magi of Chaos. This match is a very dominance showing of how magic attributes is the best attributes.

RESULT
MY FINAL THOUGHT
DID YOUR STRATEGY WORK?
My strategy work really well. Also, my opponent does not show any resilience to my team monster.
WHAT WILL YOU TRY DIFFERENTLY NEXT TIME?
I probably will use all mage to fully maximize Obsidian buff, unfortunately I do not have proper mage tank with high enough hit point.
DO YOU LIKE REGAL PERYTON? WHY OR WHY NOT?
Yes, I really do like Regal although in this match it does not it show its full potential. I believe it only cost 0.30-0.20 USD for a card which quite affordable to level up this card to level 2.

This all for this post, thank you for reading till the end or a least scroll till the end.
