Every week, Splinterlands sets a theme to be the topic of debate in the Splinterlands Engagement Challenge. This week, the theme will be Tasoshi Drakamoto (#TasoshiDrakamoto), the new exclusive card that will arrive at the Lyra & Lorn’s Voucher store. Surrounded by mysteries, Tasoshi Drakamoto follows in the footsteps of his inspiration Satoshi Nakamoto, causing many questions to arise, but with few answers. Come and discover more in depth the information available on this new card that recently arrived at Splinterlands, but also the strategies that are possible to use it! I recently made a more in-depth content about how the Tasoshi Drakamoto sale will work, which may also be interesting.
I'll be much appreaciated if you Upvote, Reblogs or give any Tips ( PIZZA 🍕, PGM 🎮, LOLZ 😆, ALIVE ❤️, etc ). Thanks and have good reading! 🍀
[ENGLISH VERSION]
Tasoshi Drakamoto - Mysteries and Status!
As mentioned, Tasoshi Drakamoto is a card full of mysteries. This is very clear in his lore, showing that there are many rumors, but never anything conclusive, even his name may not be the real one. I think that in addition to being a card that has utilities, which we will see below, it is an interesting card for collectors, because it has this connection with Satoshi, something that certainly adds value to it, since many Splinterlands players, if not most, are interested in Bitcoin and know its creator.
Regarding the more direct aspects of the card, although everything leads us to believe that Tasoshi Drakamoto would be a dragon, since the name and his reptilian appearance indicate that he would be that, but in fact it is a fire element card, of epic rarity and a high cost of 8 mana, which limits its usefulness a little in low mana games, but it is a strong DPS in high mana games, especially when the Fire element is not expected to use mages.
Tasoshi Drakamoto's first use is as a DPS. At level 1, Tasoshi already has 2 magic attack, which is already an interesting amount of damage, and can serve as a DPS in matches with a large amount of mana. However, at level 4, when he receives +1 magic attack, reaching 3, he becomes a great DPS option, especially as a surprise element since the choice of fire mages is not expected.
Tasoshi Drakamoto x Sneak
I don't see her being used with few cards on the fire element team, but rather as part of a larger strategy involving her Inspire ability that increases the attack of melee units by +1. However, this group utility can be supplied by another card from the recent conclave set called Porly Cannoneer, which is a common card that at level 1 already has the inspire ability and has a much cheaper price of $0.05 and costs half the amount of mana, which opens up space to place another 4-mana DPS that could play the role of Tasoshi Drakamoto, such as Continuum Seer or Ashen Cindergrim.
Not to mention, if you need a tank against mages, Tusk is the perfect option and he also has Inspire at level 4, making him a solid choice for his 13 HP and 2 attack for only 6 mana.
I believe that using it with Sneak monsters is its main strategy, precisely because of the focus on its Inspire ability that Tasoshi Drakamoto acquires at level 3 when gathering 10 copies. In the fire and neutral elements, there are only 10 options available for Sneak cards, with some incredible cards with this ability, such as Tenyii Striker, which has good HP and high speed, or Uraeus, which has a low amount of mana, great attack and poison. These options, considering the use of opportunity cards, further increase Satoshi Drakamoto's uses.
Tasoshi Drakamoto x Bloodline (Drakoshan)
One detail is that because he is from the new Conclave Arcana set, Tasoshi Drakamoto comes with a bloodline, which in his case is Drakoshan. So, even though his use with the fire element is restricted and there are other options that do almost the same thing, for a lower cost, when we take the Bloodline into consideration everything changes. Considering the cards from the Drakoshan bloodline, we have 20 options available, with some of them having melee attacks and Tasoshi is not far behind in terms of raw attack, with his kit of 3 magic damage, Stun and Spite.
Imagine using Drakamoto as a buffer for Dragon Egg Forager, increasing his attack to 3 with opportunity at level 1, or even Whelp Herder, reaching 2 attack with opportunity for only 3 mana. These are all possible options when using Kavor Skarn, who has the Bloodline Dominion ability that allows you to use cards that share the Drakoshan bloodline, such as Tasoshi Drakamoto, even if they are not dragon-elemental.
