Battle Challenge with Life Sapper

avatar

Hello Splinterfans!

Welcome to my entry for the Share your Battle Weekly Challenge! More details about the challenge can be found here.

I have been slowly improving my death deck, but still, it is not one of my strongest decks and also I do not know the monster so well. The Life Sapper was not a monster I usually rented as I don't play death so often, but I will for sure add him going forward and look to buy him too.

I am aware of him though as he is a worthy opponent that has caused me problems occasionally when I cannot take him out quick enough with my snipe attack.

I have rented a level 2 Life Sapper for my battles and this should give me some extra speed in my battles that would come in handy.

My Team

This is a low level mana battle and I thought that Life Sapper would be perfect to play in this bronze league match.

Summoner/ MonsterReason
Thaddius BroodA level 2 summoner
Corpse FiendA 0 rated monster that I thought could make some damage before it died protecting the tank
Cursed WindekuA gold foil with the extra health as my main tank
Life SapperOur monster of the moment
UraeusA good sneak attack monster

Battle

The rules for the battle are:

Poison - all monsters start the match poisoned.

Watch the Battle

My plan was to use my Corpse Fiend as a decoy up front to at least make 1 damage against the enemy before Cursed Windeku stepped in with his 10 health and thorns. In case of some danger in the back row, I hoped Uraeus would snipe him down to clear the danger.

The lava has just 6 health plus 1 gained from the summoner, it should be ok so far I think. WRONG!

Even with the neutralised health increases, the devastated 4 attack strength of Lava is looking very deadly. But what tips the balance is the magic protection of Lava from the poison!!

With no poison effects I am easily wiped out with any worries for Lava!!!!

It is my first time using Life Sapper and it is a painful lesson to learn about battling with poison and low mana battles.

Summary:

Life Sapper looks a great addition to the team, but I used him wrongly here as he didn't have enough health to survive the poison and so could not build up his health enough to prove a deadly force for my enemy.

Thanks for reading.

Hang in there, you'll figure out how to play it, I'm sure.
Give him a try in low mana equalizer (that pushes his base health up a lot) or blast ruleset (the blast damage provides additional life to be sucked out 😉)
