Battle report this week star Soul Strangler
Intro
Soul Strangler this week, first thoughts was: who?? I never used him probably for a good reason.
This is one of the reason i like these battle challenges it "forces" me to look into monster I normally ignore.
I tried a few battles and again i do not known when to play this soul strangler it has low health/speed/low damage no abilities it does not synergy with Thaddius Brood. So if you know a good strategy in when to play him let me know in the comments
I must say I only got it on level 1. and still after this battle or a few battles is still think it of no benefit for my deck at this moment.
SOUL STRANGLER
Edition: CHAOS LEGION
Rarity: RARE
Element: DEATH
Attack: RANGED
Abilities:
Stats
Only a level 1 card this time. i could upgrade it to level 4 but it only gets one extra damage and one extra speed.
Also strange to see that from level 2 => 3 you lose a speed and gain damage.
Strategy
Low mana game for good change i get a melee as counter and not a magic because of the weak magic ruleset. So this is good oppertunity for Cursed Windeku with his thorns. And placing the soul strangler in the back as a 2 damage dealer ranged attacker.
Rulesets
Weak magic
Magic damage wil hit shield first.
Holy Protection
Every monster has divine shield. First damage will be absorbed.
The Lineup
Summoner
Card | Reason |
---|---|
My first summoner i upgraded to level 2 but now with the knowledge/experience of the past months it has become my least favorite (before it was General Sloan). |
Monsters Lineup
1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th |
---|---|---|---|
Cursed Windeku (lvl 3):
For the dead splinter one of my favorite tanks.
Corpse Fiend (lvl 1):
Simple meat shield. And with the holy protection rule set it at least needs to attack to be killed.
Uraeus (lvl 3):
Sneak attack to kill any unprotected backline
Soul Strangler(lvl 1):
Normally i would have chosen life sapper or Venari Bonesmith here for the life leach. But for now lets give the soul strangler a change with the 1 extra damage compared to the life sapper
The Battle

Rounds
Start :
I was expecting life or water splinter. in my experience life often beat dead.
Now i'm happy with the soul strangler because of the 2 damage it will do at least on against Harklaw. And my thorns will do some nice damage to it.
The Venari Bonesmith will be hard to kill for my Uraeus +1 life every round and -2 damage so it will take 4 rounds to kill him.
Round 1:
Cursed Windeku is being hit hard. will it survive? I think my fiend will help a lot with the divine shield it needs at least 2 hits. So Uraeus and the Soul Strangler can do there thing in the back.
Round 2:
Two more rounds to kill the Venari Bonesmith. It will be a close call.
Round 3:
Love the thorns hitting Harklaw with an extra damage. My Cursed Windeku is poisoned. He will die in the beginning of the next round did not foresee that one.
Round 4:
My Cursed Windeku and Corpse Fiend are death and finally also the Venari Bonesmith. Lucky just before Uraeus gets in the front.
Round 5:
Last round a win.
Conclusion
Strategy work, i tried few battle with the Soul Strangler and i still dislike the card. i will not pick it very often. i would rather pick a 2 and 1 mana monster like: Carrion Shade Weirding Warrior.
This week a some what sorter battle report hope you liked reading this and see you all on the battle field.
