I played one of my best games on Splinterlands and the reason why I consider it so is because of the quality of the opponent I played. The lineup of my opponent was so brutal, and at the tip of it, they played the Agor Longtail, one of the most frustrating taunt monsters with void and fly ability.

The funny thing is, I got into this match thinking I was going to lose, I was initially intimidated by the attacking threat of the lineup, this is because having magic cards with fly ability against a lineup of melee-led attacks is frustrating to play against.

Then I remembered I had to get rid of the Agor Longtail before I even got to the other cards, and I felt that if I took too long to eliminate the Longtail, the remaining cards might just do enough damage to my backline.

The Longtail also had two types of attacks. However, one thing I do 70% of the time when using Possibilius the wise is to use my level 2 Djinn Oshannus. This is because of the phase ability. So even if I'm facing a magic card, the void ability reduces the magic attack, and if I come up against a melee attack, the phase ability helps me dodge.

The Djinn Oshannus is a beast in dodging attack, so I reckon that using it in front of the coastal sentry, I'll protect the sentry which can do double attack from second position, thanks to the trample ability given to it by the Possibilius the wise. Another reason why I won this game was the reach ability. The Legendary Herondale gave all the melee cards +1 melee attack and it was great to see the deeplurker attain this ability as well. I used the swamp spitter at the edge of my lineup so that it'll self-acquire more shield, should it be attacked by sneak monster. Another thing that helped was the ruleset.

Without having enough health, it's quite difficult to play the Agor Longtail. Another thing that worked I'm my favor was that 80% of my melee attack didn't miss. There were times I played the Agor Longtail, especially with the legendary Adelaide, it was difficult to breakdown, and inasmuch as adding an Adelaide to this lineup will still see me win.

I tend to think that, if I was using the Kelya Fredul, I'd definitely lose this battle, and this is where I'm going to pay another homage to the Possibilius the wise To be very honest, this is one of the best summoner in the game (especially when you pair it with the right cards) When it first launched a lot of people didn't think it's abilities are worth that of a legendary summoner.

However, a lot of players have attested to it's attacking prowess. The coastal sentry is one of the cards that highlight the indomitability of the Possibilius. We cannot highlight the importance of considering the right ruleset. Irrespective of how much a deck is worth, it's still subject to following rulesets to the letter. The lineup of my opponent is far more expensive, considering the fact that my most dominant card on the battlefield is a soulbound card.

This highlights the importance of accumulating every reward card the game has to offer. On splinterlands, depth is important, and sometimes having only expensive lineups will not cut it. This is one of my most tactical victories and it was against one of the best lineups I've ever seen.
