Caster's Corner
It is possible to use Yodin Zaku for more than just ranged teams. Even though you get a bonus to your ranged attack with this summoner, you will find that there are some use cases where you can ignore that ability for use with other attack types. Blast is a great ability and adding additional health to each monster is not a bad bonus, but it is at the cost of 7 mana.
Adding in a few tank healers helps to keep your frontline alive.
This battle is a good example of Yodin Zaku taking down Valnamor in a magic vs magic battle where weak magic was not an obstacle.
