Hello Splinterfans!
Welcome to my entry for the Share your Battle Weekly Challenge! More details about the challenge can be found here.
I have been slowly improving my death deck, but still, it is not one of my strongest decks and also I do not know the monster so well. The Life Sapper was not a monster I usually rented as I don't play death so often, but I will for sure add him going forward and look to buy him too.
I am aware of him though as he is a worthy opponent that has caused me problems occasionally when I cannot take him out quick enough with my snipe attack.
I have rented a level 2 Life Sapper for my battles and this should give me some extra speed in my battles that would come in handy.
My Team
This is a low level mana battle and I thought that Life Sapper would be perfect to play in this bronze league match.
| Summoner/ Monster | Reason |
|---|---|
| Thaddius Brood | A level 2 summoner |
| Corpse Fiend | A 0 rated monster that I thought could make some damage before it died protecting the tank |
| Cursed Windeku | A gold foil with the extra health as my main tank |
| Life Sapper | Our monster of the moment |
| Uraeus | A good sneak attack monster |
Battle
The rules for the battle are:
Poison - all monsters start the match poisoned.
My plan was to use my Corpse Fiend as a decoy up front to at least make 1 damage against the enemy before Cursed Windeku stepped in with his 10 health and thorns. In case of some danger in the back row, I hoped Uraeus would snipe him down to clear the danger.
The lava has just 6 health plus 1 gained from the summoner, it should be ok so far I think. WRONG!
Even with the neutralised health increases, the devastated 4 attack strength of Lava is looking very deadly. But what tips the balance is the magic protection of Lava from the poison!!
With no poison effects I am easily wiped out with any worries for Lava!!!!
It is my first time using Life Sapper and it is a painful lesson to learn about battling with poison and low mana battles.
Summary:
Life Sapper looks a great addition to the team, but I used him wrongly here as he didn't have enough health to survive the poison and so could not build up his health enough to prove a deadly force for my enemy.
Thanks for reading.
