The strategy
I chose this lineup because of the Little League ruleset I got to battle with. I had a strong feeling that the opponent would use Magic. So I focused on reducing life and attacking almost everything but the tank with the backline.
Having Animated Corpse as a tank gave me some solid damage and at least a couple of rounds with the 6 of life it has got. Skeleton Assassin as fast cannon fodder, in case the tank failed early.
Since Magic was a strong chance, Parasitic Growth would take care of the Pixies in two turns. And get protected as it is in the middle of the team.
In hindsight, I'd swap places between the Dark Astronomer and the Twisted Jester. To take advantage of the speed the former has, and protect it some more. In case the opponent was using some other combination other than straight to the tank.
And to make things a bit easier, and as a preventive fodder, in last position the Undead Priest. To lower life and give a couple of turns of protection to the archers in case needed.
Elegí esta alineación debido al conjunto de reglas de "Little League" con las que tuve que luchar. Tenía la fuerte sensación de que el oponente usaría Magia. Así que me concentré en reducir la vida y atacar a casi todo menos al tanque con la línea de fondo.
Tener Animated Corpse como tanque me dio un daño sólido y al menos un par de rondas con los 6 de vida que tiene. Skeleton Assassin como carne de cañón rápido, en caso de que el tanque fallara antes.
Dado que enfrentarme contra Magia era una gran posibilidad, Parasitic Growth se haría cargo de los Pixies en dos turnos. Y estaría protegido en el medio del equipo.
En retrospectiva, cambiaría lugares entre el Dark Astronomer y el Twisted Jester. Para aprovechar la velocidad que tiene el primero y protegerlo un poco más. En caso de que el oponente estuviera utilizando alguna otra combinación que no fuera atacar directamente al tanque.
Y para facilitar un poco las cosas, y como preventivo, en última posición el Undead Priest. Para bajar la vida y dar un par de turnos de protección a los arqueros en caso de necesitarlo.

The thoughts
The strategy worked, due to the Little League, the options were a bit limited. Algo got quite lucky that the opponent used Magic as I thought it would.
If the Venari Wavesmith were in play it might have not worked at all. Due to the speed differences and the extra armor.
I liked Animated Corpse (missing it already?) but it's not on my main rotation. The combination between high life and the low mana cost is great. It's also quite useful on the Reverse ruleset.
These weekly challenges and the @splinterlands game in itself are awesome and a great way to get into the whole ecosystem.
La estrategia funcionó, debido a "Little League", las opciones eran un poco limitadas. Algo tuvo bastante suerte de que el oponente usara Magia como yo pensaba.
Si el Venari Wavesmith estuviera en juego, podría no haber funcionado nada. Debido a las diferencias de velocidad y a la armadura extra.
Me gustaba Animated Corpse (¿ya lo extrañamos?) pero no estaba en mi rotación principal. La combinación entre vida alta y bajo costo de maná es excelente. También es bastante útil en el conjunto de reglas Reverse.
Estos desafíos semanales y el juego @splinterlands en sí mismo son increíbles y una fantástica manera de ingresar a todo el ecosistema.
