Splinterlands is a very particular planet. The forces that govern it are three:

the Sorcerers who dictate the strategies and move the checkers,
the Summoners who bring creatures back to the battlefield and help them fight,
the Creatures that take to the field and do the dirty work.

Atlan is a sorcerer who respects the tradition of his Splinterian ancestors, uses his strength exclusively for the good and wants and tries to maintain the balance between all the elements.

Water, fire, earth, death, life, daggers and metal.

After the Apocalypse, however, the Sorcerers of Darkness took possession of the planet and Atlan after risking death and losing his family, brutally murdered by demonic creatures summoned by Summoners corrupted by evil forces.

Now Atlan wants to avenge his family and free Splinterlands from evil but to do so he needs the help of a Summoners capable of summoning the creatures to be deployed in battle to regain the stolen DEC and prevent the multidimensional channel from expanding and the Sorcerers of Darkness back to the planet.

Fortunately Atlan has on his side a very powerful Summoners whose name is Daria Dragonscale, expert in all the arts of war, intelligent fast and beautiful.

Thanks to his charm and his great charisma he is able to give 1 boost to the motivation of his battle companions.
But it's not just her that Atlan trusts. Atlan knows Daria thoroughly and knows that she has a very special friend. A friend who has shared a lot with her since she was a child.

A very special friend, a creature named SERPENTINE SPY.

Serpentine Spy is a snake, at times it is sneaky but it is also highly trained to infiltrate the safest and most protected bases where the DEC of dark forces are jealously guarded. He wears very thin armor because he must be free to move quickly and also because he is not caught or hit very often. The spear is his favorite weapon.

Daria had seen something special in this creature since she was a child, she had seen innate abilities that deserved respect, she had seen a strength equal to 2, a speed equal to 3 but she had also seen great ease, a single heart that if pierced it would have led to premature death.

Since then Daria took Serpentine Spy under her protective wing and also gifted him with a special eye-shaped amulet. Thanks to this amulet Serpentine's sight increases incredibly, his eyes become phosphorescent green and so he can see anything, he can see beyond any wall, he can see weaker opponents and hit them even before they notice his presence.

Also thanks to this very strong bond Serpentine Spy together with Daria increases its strength and manages to kill monsters with 3 hearts in one shot.

This link has been useful in many battles, such as in this one:

In this battle it was clear both the strength of Serpentine Spy that thanks to his triple spear hit killed Wood Nymph, the creature on which all the opposing strategy was based because capable of healing the Tank and making it much more dangerous, both his weakness because 1 magic hit from Goblin Carcerer was enough to knock him out.

Atlan, the sorcerer immediately understood that the affinity between Daria and Serpentine Spy can be very useful to his cause and has ordered the doubling of hours of daily training to increase Serpentine's capabilities.

He prepared the card and this is his roadmap:
