The Goblin Psychic is a Earth Splinter card from the Chaos Legion edition. This card deals Magic Damage and has a good synergy with the new Summoner Obsidian. It has a relatively high mana cost, but it's consistent with its stats, as it has 2 damage in addition to the "Tank Heal" ability. That is, it's a versatile card which can do good damage and still protect the front line. In the course of its evolution, it greatly increases its HP and acquires the "Affliction", "Silence" and "Dispel" abilities, becoming a very uncomfortable card for the opponent.

I played this battle in the Silver League. Only Fire, Earth, Death and Dragon Splinters were active, the maximum mana cap was 42 and the rules were as follows:

Weak Magic: Magic attacks hit Armor before reducing Health.

Taking Sides: Neutral Monsters may not be used in battles.

MYLOR CROWLING: A very efficient summoner, especially in lower leagues, as it grants the "Thorns" ability, which deals damage to the opponent's Melee monsters.

UNICORN MUSTANG: It has a lot of HP (10) and Melee Damage (3), in addition to the "Void" ability which is good against Magic Damage monsters.

QUEEN MYCELIA: The stats aren't impressive, but it has the "Protect" ability that increases the armor of all my monsters. Considering the Weak Magic rule that makes magic monsters attack Armor first, this card becomes even more useful in the battle.

MUSHROOM SEER: A card with good Magic Damage (2) and with the "Silence" ability that reduces the opponent's magic. Therefore, Mustang would resist even more if my opponent chose to attack with Magic Damage monsters.

GOBLIN PSYCHIC: Good offensively and defensively, this card has good Magic Damage (2) and can still heal the front line with the "Tank Heal" ability, ensuring Mustang's survival.

MITICA HEADHUNTER: A card with high Ranged Damage (4) in addition to its great Speed. It still has the "Snare" ability that can be useful in certain situations.

GOBLIN TOWER: Finally, this card that also has Ranged Damage (2) and with the "Blast" ability that deals damage to monsters adjacent to the target. Despite not having much HP (3), it has a decent amount of Armor (3), enough to withstand attacks from monsters with the "Sneak" ability.

Strategy: Considering the active Splinter's, I was expecting my opponent to use either Melee or Magic monsters, so Mustang was the ideal choice to resist both attacks along with Mylor's power. With the Armor granted by Queen Mycelia and the Mushroom Seer's magic damage reduction, my opponent would have a hard time destroying my monsters. The Goblin Psychic's role was to deal damage while protecting the Mustang and whoever took over the front lines. Because of this versatility, I didn't want it to be destroyed so soon, so I left it at the center of the composition. In the last positions, I left the monsters with Ranged Damage, since they can't attack in the first position, because they are the monsters that would do the most damage and because of the Goblin Tower's natural resistance.

Yes, my strategy paid off. My opponent used Obsidian summoner, but Mushroom reduced the magic damage of his monsters and Mustang receiving healing from Goblin Psychic resisted all attacks, resulting in an easy win.

Yes, it is an interesting and very useful card, and it has good damage for low level games. In higher leagues, it relatively loses damage, but gains much more utility, making it a good choice in certain situations.

Olá Splinterlands players!

O tema do desafio de batalha dessa semana é: GOBLIN PSYCHIC

LORE: A Torre dos Magos é onde os Goblins vão para aprender a usar habilidades psíquicas. Não é um dom que apenas os Goblins possam aprender, mas devido à proximidade de Gobson, os Goblins tendem a aparecer com mais frequência. O Mago que chama a torre de lar, gosta de ensinar a arte de usar a mente para mover objetos e ler pensamentos. Os Goblin Psychics usam suas habilidades para realizar trabalhos em Gobson ou se aventurar e praticar para se tornar um Summoner de pleno direito.
