Well if it isn't time to show off the Shadow Snitch. This week the team went for a card from the Chaos Legion set. A lot of people overlook this card. But we should break down why you shouldn't. Reach cards are rare on each team. They are special because you get a secondary tank on the board. If it falls to the front your team is not doomed. But how does this card do well let's check the stats?

At first, he seems too slow and weak to help much. But just push him up to level 3 and he is faster and has that extra hp. Now he will hit more often and take an extra attack to kill often. Yet on the sneaky death team, he might not fight your plans. Yet sometimes that it is a mistake as my battle will show. Once you hit level 4 he gets another attack and at 5 one more speed. Making a sold card in silver. Once you hit 6 he picks up an important skill for the death team affliction. Death isn't that good at healing but if you stop them you are good. Then if you max him out you get a 4 cost card with 3 attack 4 speed and 7 health to be that second tank and he has dodge on a team that can debuff the other side. I use to not like this card but they made me look at it again. I am glad about that. Time to get the battle, you can watch it here if you prefer.

LINE UP BREAKDOWN RD1

It was time for a fun one 99 man and no other rules. That made me think that the other team would use Obsidian. If you have the big mages it is a good move but Thaddus Brood is meant to counter that so I went for it. I put Cursed Windeku first because that is the best card for that with a lot of life and thorns for sure the right move. The second spot could be a big tank that can't attack but I wanted to have that extra damage so Shadow Snitch fits the bill and with 6 hp he won't die super fast. Next, I put Magi Of chaos with 2 damage and 6 hp he is playing the 3rd tank and keeping my sniper more chances to snipe someone. Magi Necrosi went next because I wanted the mage before the archers. I could have put the Gargoyle Devil in that spot but left him last so the armor could block a sneak attack and because he can also attack in front if he makes it there. That could cost me but I took a chance. I was right about Obsidian but with only level 1 cards and a few big mages not on the board I felt good about this. Note the picture is after my debuffs

ROUND 1 RECAP

The first round didn't go so well. The taunting mage was gone but it stopped me from killing the Unicorn and my first tank is just about to die. It also is about to die to magic so note even thorns will work. My Shadow Snitchas took a bit of splash damage. But my backline is strong still. They are all lined up now to maybe kill that Unicorn before the heal but not before it attacks and that could be an issue.

RECAP OF ROUND 2

Well, things are starting to look better for me. The Unicorn is dead and while they did kill off the Snitch he took a lot of attacks so my Magi is in an okay spot. The game just turned on the speed difference. Sure he has a fast front-line guy but the back row is slow. My sniper will kill the healer now and the Regal Peryton is going to die if at least one archer hits. Oh, and one has true strike. If both hit well then the Khmer Princess is gone also and no more attacking for them.

FINAL ROUND

They both landed the attacks and as you can see the final found is a fast one as the sniper will take a shot and the battle will be over. My lineup worked out just like I wanted with my archers dealing enough damage to kill some big guys. With my sniper taking out a healer in a key spot. The Snitch takes up a lot of damage to prevent them from hitting the front row. Make sure you check out the post and think about getting into this challenge.

My new account is on its way to silver. Just need a bit more power as my ranking is there. I don't want to jump ahead till I have at least one more level 2 summoner though. Getting to do this post helps me reach that goal. Maybe you should be playing? Join Here
