The Strategy

It was a Silver League, 15 Mana battle with Super Sneak and Up Close & Personal. Quite a low mana battle and the inclusion of Melee only with all monsters having sneak can lead to some interesting team compositions.

Position	Card	Level	Reason
Summoner	Lorna Shine	2	Divine shield is essential a free pass for every monster. Very handy for those low health monsters.
Position 1	Chaos Knight	3	High damage, decent health and armour to tank damage and hit hard with shield. A great low cost tank.
Position 2	Feral Spirit	1	Our star of the week. High speed and sneak. Great for picking off the weaker backline enemy monsters.
Position 3	Stitch Leech	3	Another cheap mana sneak monster to pick off the backline. Pairs great with Feral Spirit.
Position 4	Soul Fiend	1	Current generation Legendary Life Chicken. A bit of damage and tanks some hits for the other monsters.

The Result

The start of the battle saw both teams trading blows with our Soul Fiend doing it's job and absorbing two hits before succumbing to the enemy.

Round Two was also quite uneventful with both teams trading blows but no deaths on either side.

Round Three is where the action begins. Feral Spirit opened the round with taking down the enemy Blinding Reflector in the backline. Then Stitch Leech took out the other backline monster, Celestial Harpy.

Round Four was just cleanup and the enemy Chaos Knight did not stand a chance.

Feral Spirit is a very powerful card when employed in the Life Splinter deck. Just make sure you've got some protection for them!
