Weekly Battle Challenge: Ant Miners!

Hello friends! I'm here for another Weekly Battle Challenge! Unfortunately i skipped the previous few because of life commitments but I'm back!

Ant Miner
This is a card which, to be honest, i don't know where it fits. Its too frail to be in the front, and too weak to be placed at the back to counter sneak monsters. Its only redeeming factor is its ability: Scavenge, and (from level 4 onwards) its shield which allows it to tank at least 1 hit before it dies.

So i rented some Fire Splinter cards, incuding Ant Miner of course xD, and jumped into a match. As i'm in silver, i rented a lv 4 malric inferno and lv 5 Ant Miner, as well as some other cards

I think that the Ant Miner came in CLUTCH and helped me win that game 👍

I was pretty surprised when Ant Miner managed to scavenge his way up to 10 health!

Forgive my lack of screenshots for those who are unable to view the replay, due to some error, i can only play on mobile and im currently typing this on my laptop 😢 Hope the issue gets resolved soon

I used Ant Miner as a 3rd tank of sorts, stalling for my backline to deal damage.
After my tank and my 2nd tank dies, Ant Miner will have scavenged 2 health at least leaving it with 4 health which is pretty decent for a 2 mana cost card. Pair it with Malric Inferno and you get a 2 attack 4 health monster for only 2 mana! Pretty neat eh

What are your thoughts about Ant Miner? How do you utilise it in your lineup? I'm interested to know more😀 Might start buying it maybe since its cheap
