Each Splinter summoner brings its own unique and compelling gameplay strategy, especially when aligned effectively with specific battle rule sets. In this session, I’ll be showcasing another strategic approach in Modern format, with a focus on the versatility and tactical advantage of using Prunda Undervesch, a rare dual-element summoner. By combining two Splinters, Prunda offers flexible team deck options that can adapt to a wide range of scenarios and building strategies. This makes it an ideal choice for players looking to outmaneuver opponents with creative lineups and combo-driven strategies.
What is Prunda Undervesch summoner & what is the uses of this summoner gameplay strategy?
Prunda Undervesch is a Common summoner card from the Rebellion set that costs only 3 mana, yet offers significant strategic value due to its unique ability to unlock both the Life and Water elements in battle. This dual-splinter access allows you (players) to build more flexible and creative team compositions, mixing cards from two powerful elements to better adapt to specific rule sets and counter a wider range of opponents. Its low mana cost also makes it an efficient option for budget-conscious strategies or battles with tight mana caps, giving players more room to invest in strong attackers, supports, or utility units. Prunda’s versatility opens the door to diverse tactics, making it a highly useful summoner in the Modern format.

In this battle, the rule sets were Fire & Regret, Are You Not Entertained?, and Super Sneak, with a 22 mana cap and Fire splinter being inactive. Given the low mana limit, I strategically chose Prunda Undervesch as my summoner due to its efficient 3-mana cost and the valuable dual-splinter access to Water and Life elements. This gave me the flexibility to build a lineup that takes advantage of the Weapons Training ability synergy. I deployed Halfling Refugee as my frontline tank, followed by Endless Gibbon in second position as an extra body and bait. Nimbledook Explorer served as my main damage dealer, while Daarg Deadblast played a key support role, granting magic attack to adjacent non-attackers. Helmet Kharafax was positioned to make use of that magic boost as a secondary magic damage source, and Chaos Rare Guard was placed at the back as a secondary tank against potential sneak attacks. This setup allowed me to optimize damage output and survivability within the low mana constraints, using synergy and utility over the difference in power (stats).
The opponent also chose Prunda Undervesch as their summoner but opted for a different lineup strategy, deploying Halfling Refugee, Isgald Vorst, Shock Trooper, Olivia of the Brook, Endless Gibbon, and Water Diviner. Their team seemed to focus on a balanced mix of melee and magic damage, with Isgald Vorst standing out as the biggest threat due to its ability to target the lowest-health enemy, becoming more dangerous with each passing round. However, despite the potential threat, I think I had the upper hand thanks to a slight level advantage and better overall damage synergy in my lineup.
As the battle progressed, it was visible that my composition had a stronger edge both in survivability and consistent output especially the level gap and damage difference, making the outcome favor my strategy in this face-off of dual-element tactics.
My strategy goes around maximizing the potential of Daarg Deadblast from the Water element by utilizing its Weapons Training ability, and combining it with the dual-element flexibility offered by Prunda Undervesch. This synergy allows me to include powerful non-attacker cards from the Life element—specifically Nimbledook Explorer and Helmet Kharafax—who normally lack offensive capabilities, but through Daarg’s Weapons Training, gain a magic attack stat. This creates highly effective magic damage and unexpected offensive setup in low-mana or restricted battles. The flexibility of Prunda's dual-element summoning is important here, as it opens up a broader range of strategic combinations that wouldn't be possible with a single-element summoner, giving me the advantage of building a lineup that adapts well to diverse rule sets.
A Big Thanks! For supporting me, being here, and coming this far. I hope this strategy assists you with some of your battles with these rule sets in modern format conclave and rebellion sets.
