Herbalist Analysis and Giveaway - Why you need this underrated card in your deck
Welcome to my third giveaway!
Hey everyone, Today's giveaway is inspired by the lovely veterinarians that have been helping diagnose and fix up my amazing pup. In the honor of everyone that dedicates their profession to helping people and animals I'll be giving away herbalist. Feel free to skip below for contest instructions but if you have time I'd like to explain why I think this highly undervalued card is a must have for you life deck.
Just Look At Those Upgraded Stats
For starters, low mana cards will always be some of the most useful cards in the game. At 2 mana Herbalist packs a real punch when upgraded. Cleanse at level 3 can be used in early leagues and is a game changer for poison matches. Seriously, no one uses cleanse with poison and this 2 mana card almost always gets me the win. Where herbalist really starts to shine is at level 8. Triage, the ability to heal a back line monster is an incredible skill for a 2 mana card and not one that too many other cards give. Cap all this off with a ranged attack and decent enough health for a 2 mana card and you have a real undervalued banger for life decks.
.....Now, onto the giveaway! Bonus Ant Miners included again this week!
I'm adding a bonus giveaway for those of you that feel like engaging in conversation. To qualify for the bonus drawing just tell me what your favorite card featuring an animal (or insect) is and why. With Ant Miners being featured for the weekly battle challenge this feels like a good bonus.
How to enter contest:
- Comment with your splinterlands username for Herbalist.
- If you want to enter the bonus contest for Ant Miners, tell me your favorite card featuring an animal or insect and explain why. - Thats it! Both winners will be chosen by a random comment picker (filoz.info/picker) and I will send the cards to them.
No Follows, Reblogs, or Likes are necessary to enter but they are truly appreciated <3 <3
Giveaway will stay open for a day or two until I run my next freebie giveaway where I will announce the winner. Now lets all give our congratulations to our last giveways winners. I will be sending your cards shortly.
Congrats on the Battering Ram @oadissin !!
Congrats on the Ant Miners @mozzie5 !!
My favorite card with an animal on it has to be Demented Shark, I like the whole shark tribe and how he looks like the king shark :)
@squidzooka
Let's roll!
@litrydow
As for the question, my favorite is Ant Miners itself.
I play a lot with fire splinter and Malric Inferno, so meelee cards are important for me. Ant Miners makes a great last resort if the enemy doesn't have sneak cards, as it will end up being your last stand with a lot of HP.
Good thing Ant Miners is your favorite because you were randomly selected as the winner for them! Your card has been sent. Congratulations!
Wow I won an ant miners! Thank you very much :)
Damn, I did not know that Herbalist has triage at level 8. Looks like I'll have to gradually stack up on Herbalist. If I can still join the contest, I'd like to join for the Herbalist one! @mozzie5
@dedman19
My favorite card that has an animal / insect with it is definitely fire beetle with its base HP and the snipe ability, it is a good pick for range attacks.
Furious Chicken to the maxxxxx!!!
Of course because it's 0 mana.

@badnewsbeards! I sent you a slice of $PIZZA on behalf of @tedus.
Did you know you can trade $PIZZA on Hive-Engine, Tribaldex, or LeoDex? (8/10)

My favourite animal card has to be the Nectar Queen! She's a boss bee
My favorite is Luminous Eagle very string also fast. @nnniel
Favorite animal card has got to be the Furious Chicken. The concept reminds me of Legend of Zelda, A Link to the Past. Now, if I could only get mine leveled to where it has the 1 attack; since I seriously doubt they'll ever make it so a bunch of them swarm to attack...lol @half-fast
No favorite animal card here :u @amaillo-m
I usually find a cheap gold herbalist at lv3 for rent. He really save me at poison rule.
As for insect card my favorite is fire beetle at lv3. 2 Range attack at 3 cost with snipe that's insane!!
Thanks for the giveaway :)

My favorite card is Nightmare because I picked up a gold foil of him for exactly $10 bucks and I try to use him every time I can. He is awesome.

I go with the Shark pictured at the water splinter card "Demented Shark". It reminds me on a local comic book character
@jambinceent
For my favorite animal card I choose the horny toad. IDK maybe because of its name lmao
Favorite animal card is Furious Chicken. 0 mana and makes a lot of difference in battles!
IGN: @extraeliel
I'm in for the herbalist! @adulruna
Furious chicken since it uses 0 mana.
@michlo
Battering Ram is my favorite animal card. A low cost card that you can insert in most battles that has the Opportunity ability makes all the difference in most cases. @rorybadory
My fav is Trohilo the Frozen. In bronze games a lot of magic and blue cards are played, so it is great to have a beast to pacify the enemy. It's bigges flaw is it's slow speed, but I would love to it out in games.
On the second place is Flaming Monkey for the inherent childish calmness on the picture :)
@arkasz
Exciting Giveaway! @jakkal
My favorite insect card is actually Ant Miners, in fact, I keep track of how many BCX of it I have on the Discord, where my name is BCX Ant Miners!
The minimum I need is 100 but I actually would love to max the card at some point when I have cards at that level.
Luminous Eagle. It's a decent tank, has reach and fairly decent melee damage.

@silentwill
For e my favorite is Ant Miner. It's one of the first cards I got in rewards and I had an epic win with Ant Miner as the last card standing after accumulating high HP. It's also one of the firsts for me to level 2, (after chain spinners which seems to drop like flies) and I'm hoping to get more so I can even level it up further.
I like the fire beetle, looks very ferocious
@ysf21
Congrats! You have been randomly selected as the winner for Herbalist. Your card has been sent. Enjoy!
Got it. Thank you so much
feral spirit if that counts as an animal, love the smiley face
@liecka
Hi, thanks for the giveaway!
My favorite card is Nightmare, because it was the first card that I got from a chest and I've been playing with it every chance I have. And it is a very good card.
My IGN is @nane-qts
@squishna. I love Giant Roc. He's carrying an elephant! Actually, just remembered as I'm writing this that I dreamed about a bird flying that was about the size of a football field in all dimensions! Thanks for the question to jog that memory! @squishna
Hi ! I´m trenloco
My fave animal - focused card would be Battering Ram, underlooked neutral card, quite good when paired with Malric !
