SHARE YOUR BATTLE Weekly Challenge! SOUL STRANGLER
Now before we get into the stats discussion of the Soul Strangler, let's have a sneak peek into its LORE
- At level 1 it has 2 ranged attack, 2 speed and 2 health. It does not start off with any special ability. But its 2/2/0/2 stats for 3 mana compensate for that.
- At level 3, it gains an additional ranged attack point for a total of 3 (max for Silver League).
- At level 6 it gains an additional point in attack for a total of 4.
- Finally, maxed out at level 8 it has 4 ranged attack, 3 speed and 4 health. It also gains its first and final ability - Poison. This definitely makes the Soul Strangler an even better choice for its low mana cost.
Now that we know what the card does (or doesn't do) at the different levels of play, let us have a look at the battle I have chosen to showcase.
<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>BATTLE<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>
- The line-up of the Battle and the Rule set:
It is time for a quick round by round analysis:
- The Summoner I have chosen to go with in this battle is my very own level 5 Thaddius (I don't have any other level 5 Death Summoners) which is kind of expected. The enemy's summoner is a level 6 Thaddius, however their Monsters are not at the max level which their summoner allows which is great for me, of course.
- After 1 round, I have managed to take down the enemy's Corpse Fiend, while mine is still alive and kicking. My Cursed Wendiku has taken a bit of a beating while the opponent's Harclaw has only lost its armor.
- Start of Round 3 - the enemy has taken down my Corpse fiend, however, their Dhampir Stalker is almost dead, which is actually their most potent damage dealer. My Cursed Wendiku and the enemy's Harclaw will probably not survive this round.
- Beginning of Round 4, it is my level 6 Silent Sha-Vi versus the enemy's level 3 one in the tanking spots but I am better supported by our friend the Soul Strangler who is still alive and my Magi Necrosi. There's a lonely level 5 Uraeus on the enemy's side of the board.
- Round 5 - I have managed to swiftly take down the enemy's Sha-Vi and the Uraeus is the only Monster remaining for my opponent. It will definitely not survive to tell the tale of this battle.
The Soul Strangler is a great ranged attacker for the Death Splinter. It is specifically great for low-mana battles where you need to play more budget Monsters. The Soul Strangler is currently valued at $0.12 per BCX, so there is literally no reason not to pick up as many copies as you need to get it leveled up to the appropriate level of the league you compete in.
