SHARE YOUR BATTLE Weekly Challenge || GARGOYA SCRAPPER

When the Chaos Legion entered the Splinterlands through the rift in Mount Praetorius and laid to ruin the great castle of the Gargoya, many of the stone gargoyles fled across the sea and scattered to other continents. However, some remained in the rubble, searching for a way to rebuild their kingdom. These became known as Scrappers.
Scrappers despise the Chaos Legion for destroying their home. Now, they seek the knowledge to create more of their kind and, using what they learn, build more Gargoya. Across the Splinterlands, they have established workstations to grow their numbers and advance their culture, creating Gargoyas of countless sizes and varieties.

Their ultimate goal is to avenge their fallen brethren, rebuild their home, and see to the defeat of the Chaos Legion.

My Lineup

Position	Abilities
Tarsa	Melee
Radiated Scorcher	Melee
Elven mystic	Magic
Lava Spider	Ranged
Goblin Fireballer	Ranged

As you can see the ruleset for battle was silinced summoner, equalizer and mid mana. Because i have level three gargoya, i though it can be good counter for earth that the opponent used five battles in a row. And it paid off.

I chose Tarsa as my splinter for the battle. She gave an extra health points to all my monsters which were very helpful during the battle. Mana cap was 14 and I utilized every single mana. It was a standard game with no modification applied. Hence, we both can choose our cards with greater freedom.
I placed the Radiated Scorcher in the first position on my lineup. It has 4 armour on its own and has good health too. It was a perfect tank for my battle. His taunt ability didn't allow anyone to attack any other cards until he is dead.
Next was a quick flying golden eagle, the Elven mystic. It is one of the best cards to be placed in the 2nd spot due to its reach ability that allows it to attack even from the 2nd position. To make things sweeter it has 2 Ranged attacks and a decent heath. I use the Lava Spider quite often when playing with life splinters.
In the third position, I placed the Goblin Fireballer, a flying beast with an effective damage against weaker cards because of its opportunity ability. Some people can argue about its raw stats but it has good abilities.

ROUND 1

Round 1 starts with powerful attacks from both sides. My opponent used a triple sniping setup. My tank, Radiated Scorcher stood its ground and got most of the hits while my Elven mystic sacrifice itself which was exactly its role for this battle. But two monsters fell from the opposite side rather quickly and his tank is also looking weak. Time Mage's slow ability was very effective during the first round of the battle.

ROUND 2

Round 2 saw more fierce fighting between both the tanks and eventually both died one by one by the end of round 2. The important distinction at the end of round 2 is that I don't have ranged monsters most of them deal melee damage while only one monster remains on the opposite side which can work from the first position.

ROUND 3

Round 4

the end of hope for my opponent and it was all over at this moment even with two cards still left but they were ranged attackers and worthless in the first position. It was an easy win.

My strategy worked perfect and lost only conjurer and time mage. It was the best card to play against my opponent when you play life vs earth.

I personally like this card, it´s low mana card, useful in some cases like this one.
