This monster belonging to the sliver of death has a set of notorious skills when it comes to give participation in low mana battles. In my case, I don't usually give him much participation because I have higher level cards housed in this sliver, which can give good performances. However, this character is favorable in some environments where magic damage is required or to extract vital points with each hit.

In this section I will outline the strategic position to be fulfilled in order to conceive a sweet victory.

• Summoner: It is the monster in charge of weakening -1 the melee attack of rival characters. This card is extremely practical for the following rules: Opportunist, Enrage, Rage, Only characters with melee attack, all attack to first position and among others....

• Tank: Receive or provide as much damage as possible at the discretion of the player, the tank must withstand a large number of enemy attacks to extend the durability of the monsters in the subsequent lines.

• Backup: When the situation warrants it, I tend to play with a kind of counter-tank looking for a way for these 2 to absorb all the hits and thus safeguard the ranged attack lines that usually are not able to withstand the same amount of attacks as the tank.

• Attack to the last square: For this opportunity and the scarce amount of characters according to this battle, I decided to shelter the less resistant ones in the middle while making a kind of barrier on both sides of the sliver while the skills of these take effect on the opponent.

• Ranged Attack: This character supports the attack of the monsters positioned in the first squares, also shields between the strongest monsters in order to extend its durability on the field, it is extremely dynamic, since it has a different damage class than the tank in case it is affected.

• Bait or cannon fodder: This character is just a small distraction to receive the impact that can be crucial to obtain victory. It is a kind of bait or trap that allows you to redirect an attack while your teammates concretize their attacks on the target set.

• Shield to the last square: This monster fulfills the role of poisoning the monster of the first position and protect the lower zone of my game team, his ability allows him to afflict the target monster regardless of whether this evade attacks or reduce some kind of impact once the poison begins to take effect has no salvation to stop it.

Super Sneak: All characters summoned for this game acquire the ability to attack to the last square, this is an advantageous rule when using ranged attack monsters which naturally do not possess abilities which allow them to attack from the second square.

---

Odd ones out: In this game only monsters of odd mana capacity can be used. That is to say, those whose mana cost is : 1, 3, 5 etc.

In this section I will give you the details and positions of each character for this battle.

Monsters	Characteristics
	Zintar Mortails: He is the monster in charge of summoning my battling team for this day, his ability allows him to decrease the melee damage attack -1 to all rival monsters. He is my strongest summoner, that's why he has a constant appearance in my battles. It belongs to my strongest team of all my collection and I enjoy very much the participation of this character, for this opportunity I considered it very important, since the rage rule can be suppressed on the rival attacks if somehow manages to decrease the melee attack at least one point below the original characteristic, in this way after being hit the monster will return to its normal attributes disabling the effects of the rage.
	Haunted Spirit: It is the tank selected for this battle, its recovery ability and its formidable attack is a clear example to play this role in the battle. It is a monster of high category and belongs to the elite of my arsenal, has a great resistance, speed and a great level of attack. It is the most frequented tank when I have to execute participation with this splinter, I must admit that its agility and great performance are remarkable and I have yet to see a similar card that can match its high effectiveness. It has an admirable and very usable skill set for this type of rules.
	Spineback Wolf: The backup tank because of his "spines" ability and his speed makes him a formidable and necessary monster for the execution of this battle. It is a very good character for this type of occasions where some monsters guided by fury can attack first thanks to the speed increase, this is a clear advantage, because after this one, I don't have another character that can match his stamina points.
	Skeleton Assassin: A character full of speed with a good damage and reaction capacity, although his stamina is a little low, he can back up and eliminate one by one part of the rival monsters, thanks to the low mana capacity usable for this game I decided to position this character and play it with a strategy of tank, healing and moderate attack but with low stamina.
	Life Sapper: A ranged attacker that offers variety and a good contribution to ally damage. Its game characteristics can be very advantageous at higher levels, but unfortunately I have not yet been able to acquire it on my own. I consider that its low resistance points may not allow it to participate in all games, but its attack and great agility allow this formidable character to duel in some exceptions.
	Chaos Agent: It is a card of facade or distraction to perceive attacks directed to the last square in order to absorb the impacts and extend the durability of the attackers in the game. I decided to place this character in this position because it was guaranteed to perish at the first hit and placing a character that could withstand a little more in the back square produces the small probability that the attackers will decrease before the hits reach the chicken.
	Haunted Spider: This monster is the last line of defense for my splinter, its low mana level allows an advantageous productivity when the battle is close and does not allow the placement of many characters. Its poison ability allows to subtly afflict the monster, which its attack hits and the ability can be activated. It is a very effective ability and gives a great advantage to allied monsters, since at the end of each round, the afflicted monster will have less than 2 vital points. This ability attracts me a lot of attention and also the characteristics of this character, since they allow an optimal fusion of gameplay so that the strategy can be fulfilled to perfection.
