Hello Splintermates, Praetorian and Hiveans,
It is Splinterlands Social Media Challenge, so today i gonna share you taking advantage of black foil specially knowing that my opponenet will be fielding an underleveled monsters as my opponenet usually have owned cards and level them up slowly, unlike the ghost players that got new in the game but have everything not rented and not owned.
WHAT IS BLACK FOIL CARDS
Black foil card is one of the new foil type introduced together with gold foil arcane and black foil arcane. The first card type release on this is the promo card black foil arcane skinwalker and black foil gramel the hunger. Black Foils appear randomly in Conclave Arcana packs as max-level cards with collectible numbering. They cannot be combined.
PERKS OF BLACK FOIL :
- +20% Reward bonus in ranked battles
- Half the cooldown of Gold Foil cards in Survival Mode
- 5x the DEC burn value, Collection Power, and Contribution in Conflicts of Gold Foils
- 5x base Production Point multiplier (same as Beta cards)
Let's find out how is the +20% reward bonus in ranked battles is giving us more sps when we win the reason why we take advantage it when you know the players you battle against got unleveld owned cards.

THE PERKS OF TAKING ADVANTAGE OF BLACKFOILS
So in this battle i used 2 black foils: portly cannoneer and bristleborn brigand which give me additional 20% each boost a total of 40% for 2 black foils.
MY TEAM
| ARCHON | UNIT 1 | UNIT 2 | UNIT 3 | UNIT 4 | UNIT 5 | UNIT 6 |
|---|
| Lorkus | Halfling Refugee | Drybone Hobgoblin | Broken Earth Thug | Portly Cannoneer | Bristleborn | Baron Fyatt |
1. Lorkus - is a 7 mana rebellion card. It is dual fire and death legendary archon. It provides plus 1 melee and plus 1 magic attack to all friendly units at the start of the battle. It also gives added two type of tactics , first option provides life leech (increase health and max health by 50% of damage dealth) and affliction (50% to apply afflicted after a succesful attack ) ability to two units. Second option gives trample (after using a melee attack to defeat a unit, performs another melee attack to the next position) and fury ( deals double damage to if the target has taunt ) ability to two units. Lorkus is very good when using magic and it is good to counter against eternal tofu's thorns.
2. HALFLING REFUGEE - - Halfling refugee is a neutral epic rebellion soulbound reward card. It has become my most used low mana tank because of its 1 mana cost. At level 6 it has 5 melee attack, 8 health and 3 speed . It also has weary and heal ability even at level 3. This is very good in little league, back to basic's , poison, noxious fumes, melee mayhem ruleset and super sneak ruleset. I mostly used him as tank a low mana battle or as filler when 1 mana is needed.
3. DRYBONE HOBGOBLIN - is a 4 mana common rebellion fire monster soulbound reward card. At maxed level it has 3 melee attack, 7 health and 5 speed. It has 3 abilities; reach (can use melee attack in second position), immunity ( provide immunity to magic debuffs and cripple), and shatter ( destroys enemies armor upon succesful attack). This is very good in poison ruleset and low mana battle.
4. BROKEN EARTH THUG - is a 3 mana common death, rebellion soulbound reward card.At maxed level it has 3 melee attack, 4 speed, 2 armor and and 5 health. It also has an opportunity (targets the enemy healt with the less health) and cripple ability (-1 to targets max health upon succesful attack. Does not affect unit with immunity). It's being 3 mana cost and with armor makes him very good in little league, weak magic, lost magic, back to basic's and equalizer ruleset.
5. PORTLY CANNONEER - is an 4 mana common fire conclave arcana card. At maxed level it has 3 ranged attack with 5 health and 3 speed. It also has 3 abilities; inspire ( +1 melee to all friendly unit), return fire ( return 50% damage to attacker when hit by ranged attack ) and fury ability ( deals double damage if the target has taunt). It is very good in low mana ruleset and all ranged ruleset.
6. BRISTLEBORN BRIGAND - is a 2 mana death common conclave aracana card. At maxed level it has 2 ranged attack and has 2 armor, 6 health and 3 speed. It also has snipe ( magic and ranged attack target the first non-melee enemy unit behind the first position ) and demoralize ability (-1 melee attack to all enemy unit) . It is very good in low mana battle ruleset .
7. BARON FYATT - is a legendary death and fire promo card monster. It is a 5 mana death and fire magic monster. At maxed level it has 2 magic attack, 6 health and 2 speed. Baron fyatt has 4 abilities; halving ability (-50% to targets power (rounded up) after a succesful attack, scattershot ability ( magic and ranged targets a random opponent), ambush ability (takes an extra turn prior to the first round of the battle) and blind ability (all enemy melee and ranged attacks had a 15% higher chance of missing their target. Blind also affects units with phase). This is one of the magic monster i mostly used all the time .
MY STRATEGY AND POSITIONING
| ARCHON | UNIT 1 | UNIT 2 | UNIT 3 | UNIT 4 | UNIT 5 | UNIT 6 |
|---|
| Lorkus | Halfling Refugee | Drybone Hobgoblin | Broken Earth Thug | Portly Cannoneer | Bristleborn | Baron Fyatt |
In this 26 mana battle with standard ruleset against a very strong opponent, my strategy is to use lorkus due to its added plus 1 magic with added life leech and affliction to 2 units (broken earth thug and baron fyatt). Then i used halfling refugee as my tank due to its low mana, high melee attack, high health and heal ability, supported by drybone hobgoblin due to its reach ability . Third position is broken earth thug. Then fourth and fifth position are portly cannoneer and bristleborn brigand to take advantage of its ranged attack and for being a black foil while my last position baron fyatt will become the last standing having benefitted from plus 1 magic attack and life leech from the archon while halving my opponents attack. In here i used mostly gold foil and black foil available for disposal as i know my opponent will put unleveled cards where i have advantage and can benefit my gold foil and black foil added bonus.
....HAVE A NICE DAY .....
