Hello and Namaste Friends,

I hope you guys are safe and having a good time. This week I am sharing my battle share slightly early as I usually post in the weekend. I did some battling in the morning and evening and now making this post about my battle share for this week's theme. This week's theme card is Phantasm and its from Death monsters. 
Sharing battles every week is so much fun and I try to submit my participation in the battle share challenge.

Today in this post, I am going to share my battle for the challenge announced by the splinterlands team. This week's card name is Phantasm from the Life splinter team. I have many of this card already so it was not needed to buy this week. I have also played some battles with this one so its not a new one for me.

Let's also have a look at the statistics for this card which I think is a very important part to know more about any card. With the help of stats, we get to know more about the card, and without going through stats its difficult to conclude whether the card is good or not. 
Phantasm is a common card from Monster monsters in Reward edition of the print. It has "Flying" ability from level 1 and from level 5 it gets one more known as **Return Fire**. Thats not all because it gets a third ability as **Retaliate** from level 9 until the 10th level. I must say that this is such a powerful card and tho who has this card in level 9 or 10 must be happy to have because of its 3 abilities. Indeed a great monster in death team and I was not expecting this one to be such a powerful fighter.

# Cards Line-up and for the Battle

I got 48 mana for this battle with the earthquake theme. I must say that 48 mana is great and within this much one can easily choose the best cards to fight on the battleground. 


***Here is the list of cards I selected for the line-up-***

Undead Rexx
Haunted Spirit
Phantom Soldier
Phantasm
Black Dragon
Sand Worm


# Undead Rexx
Undead Rexx is one the card that must be kept in front and the same I did because it can handle attacks and help to save other cards.

# Haunted Spirit
Haunted spirit card is pretty good because it has healing ability which makes keep restore its life after each other and that makes it easy win sometimes and also helps to play longer the battle.

# Phantom Soldier
Indeed a fantastic soldier that fights nicely and also does very good I am as to opponent team player cards and it cost eight mana to be part of the battling team and I think it's truly worth looking at its fighting habits.

# Phantasm
This is the theme card for this week and I mentioned that I have already played a few battles with this one but was not aware that this could be such a great card in the death monster team. Good to know that I have this card already and I will be surely using my future battles while playing with death monsters.

# Black Dragon
Black Dragon is one of my favourite cards in dragon monster I am whenever I choose Dragon then I surely pick this one if there is sufficient mana. It comes at the mana cost of seats and I will find it truly worthy as per its mana cost.

# Sand Worm
This card is a recently issued and since the day it is released I am a big fan of this one seems it does use them as an opponent card and it's a must-have for football I wanna battles in the game. It cost 9 mana in the battle but if battle mana is might then keeping it in the middle is a very good choice and I always try to take this one since its from neutral monsters.

# Battle Details

I played the battle with KRANA and this player played the battle with FIRE splinters and he had pretty nice cards in the battle but my card selection and the line up were slightly better and this is why I win the battle. Now let me take you through my battle to show you my strategy and overall game-play and I hope you will enjoy it.

# Did your strategy work? What will you try differently next time?
My strategy went pretty well the way I planned and whatever lined up I set has gone very good that made me won the battle. 


# Do you use the Phantasm often? Why or why not?
Phantasm is a pretty nice card that is surely worth upgrading to higher levels. I had it already and have also played some battles with this monster. Now since I got to know more about this card so I will be using it in my future battles which will help me learn more about it.
