Sorry for the delay on this one, because of recent posting and voting, I've been at <10% Resource Credits for a while, and I needed to wait a bit to recharge, so my posts are currently on a Queue and coming out a little later than they should, don't worry, all Giveaways are still going.

Time for a Pack Opening:

Triple Rares is always fun, the most exciting card for me, here, is Venari Spellsmith, although I am excited to soon have a Level 4 Portal Spinner as well... But maybe there's a reason why he's not what I'm excited about here? Hmmm.

Card Tips & Tricks

Portal Spinner

Normal Foil | Rare | Life Monster | Ranged Attacker

Portal Spinner is actually a really good card. Somebody out there reading this is like absolutely bullshit, who cares about this card? And to that person, I show these stats: This guy may not get Pierce or the crazy Speed that Gem Meteor gets, but he's an Armored, extremely hard hitting ranged attacker for General Sloan, and allows you to double up on the Scattershot.

Furthermore, Snare lets him be paired with Brighton Bloom in Earthquake and snap some wings off of your poor enemy's lineup: Any random hit could completely destroy your opponent's plans, snaring their backline DPS or Healer and quickly turning the battle in your favor.

I don't recommend this one in No Armor and in Snipe rulesets though. Close Range is always a fun ruleset for this card.

Kulu Swimhunter

Normal Foil, Common, Water Monster

Look, right now, Kulu is underwhelming: If we ever get a +1 Range Water Summoner, or if I ever own Selenia Sky and a leveled Kulu, things get different:

This guy takes no Abilities to a new level. He ends up with 4 Ranged damage for 4 Mana, AND has 5 Speed and 6 Health, making him a very solid choice for a 4 Mana card at max level. Granted, his lack of abilities IS an issue, but in No Abilities, this is one of those cards that just devastates if his front line can hold up.

I like using this card in No Abilities and Close Ranged

Venari Spellsmith

Normal Foil, Rare, Neutral Monster

Dispel is a pretty hard ability to 'sell' to a Bronze or Silver player, and it's kind of clear why: Dispel gains value with every level and every ability that a card gains, in Bronze, that amounts to nearly jack, but in Diamond, you're looking at a card that can clear those 10-20 buffs you have on a monster, which can absolutely neuter their ability to fight.

The real magic of this card comes from Level 4, when he gains Amplify and becomes an easy Amplify card to throw onto your team: In particular, he does a good job of replacing Venari Heatsmith in Fire, gives Death a No Range Amplifier, and allows you to use an Amplify monster in Earth for cheap. That being said, that's about where his usefulness goes: He does grow more useful with every league, as Dispel clears all buffs, but that value is not really capitalized on in Bronze/Silver except in the Protect monsters.

I don't really like using Spellsmith in any particular ruleset, he kind of just gets played with certain summoners, Mylor, Owster and Lir tend to capitalize the most.

Xenith Archer

Normal Foil, Rare, Neutral Monster

I don't like this card. I have a GF, which I love for the 10% DEC bonus that can pretty easily be fit into a team comp, and I DO like her for General Sloan and low mana Selenia Sky, but honestly, she takes too long to reach 2 Range for me to like her much, however, max level has almost as much speed AND health as Kulu Swimhunter, for half the mana cost, and still has a 1:1 Damage ratio... Which makes her a really solid No Abilities card

Stitch Leech

Normal Foil, Common, Life Monster

Stitch Leech is the best low mana Life monster in my humble opinion, though Celestial Harpy comes close, he is an absolute monster, and he gets 3 Melee early on, and then 4, gaining a 1.33:1 damage ratio to Mana which is very nice, on top of that, he has decent health, AND gains Life Leech.

Bonus: I think it's hilarious that his stats page is essentially: 4 3 4 3 4 3 4 3 for Health
