Strategy:

The Antoid Platoon is one of my favorite Little League card. Especially in lower leagues there isn't that many Monsters with 2+ Damage with that little mana and with the Shield ability all melee and ranged damage < 2 will be completely nullified. I placed the Radiated Scorcher and Ant Miners on second and third position to tank incoming opportunity attacks or as additional meatshields in case my opponent focuses on magic damage. Ureaus was placed in the back because of that 1 shield, so it can take an extra attack in case the opponent uses a Sneak tactic aswell. I chose two Monsters with the Sneak ability to focus on taking out the back first hoping to face either ranged to magic Monsters placed in the back.

Round 1:

Facing a tough tank in the front backed with Scavo Hireling and shield repair. Going for Sneak was the right choice. Only two of the opponent Monsters can damage my tank an they were placed in the back. So if I can take them out before their Opportunity/Snipe attacks can take out mine it is going to be a win.

Round 2:

Losing the Radiated Scorcher in exchange for taking out the opponents Pirate Captain was a nice deal. If I manage to take out the Feasting Seaweed in this round, this battle is pretty much decided.

Feasting Seaweed manages to take out my Scavo Firebolt but goes down right after. Things are going my way!

Round 3:

Interesting round, both my Sneak-attacks miss and the Scavo Hireling just replaces the armor my Antoid Platoon destroyed, the opponents attack is nullified by the Shield-Ability. It is like this round never happened. Usually I would be mad at those low % misses on my side, but I felt rather safe with fatigue still a lot of rounds away and none of my monsters taking any damage anymore.

Round 4:

This round worked better. The slime goes down and my attackspeed up. At least Uraeus is now guaranteed to hit.

Final Round:

Skipping the rounds 5 and 6, as nothing special happened. Instead fast forwarding to the final blow.

Result:

My Tank and Sneak tactic worked out fine. I was glad the opponent didn't choose a magic team, that way I was able to show the huge potential the Antoid Platoon has especially in low mana matches.

In my opinion the Antoid Platoon is one of the best low mana CL cards. I use it quite often when I get a low mana ruleset and I get a fire splinter focus.
