Share Your Battle - Pelacor Arbalest
Hi Splinterfans!
Welcome to my entry for the Share your Battle Weekly Challenge! More details about the challenge can be found here.
Pelacor Arbalest can be a real thorn in my side if I don't take care of him with enough sneak attack or with Quix the Devious. I specifically needed to rent Quix to ensure I could take down Pelacor Arbalest in some tricky situations.
Life is probably my third strongest deck, but I still don't feel so comfortable playing it.
I have got a gold foil Pelacor Arbalest to play with. At only around $2,50, it is a pretty good value gold foil to add to your collection. Anyone playing Sloan will need him.
My Team
I was often just using Shieldbearer up front as my direct tank, but I saw I was still losing quite often. Therefore, first I prefer to put a nice decoy up front to take a few blows before the Shieldbearer comes in.
He should also take a few hits on the second row ahead of my other cards who are quite vulnerable.
Summoner/ Monster | Reason |
---|---|
General Sloan | A level 2 summoner, for extra ranged attack |
Pelacor Conjurer | I have a maxed out Conjurer to take some blows as decoy in the tank position |
Shieldbearer | My tank in waiting |
Venari Crystalsmith | My healer |
Pelacor Arbalest | Man of the hour with his double attack strike |
Stitch Leech | A strong attack to flank Arbalest |
Battle
The rules for the battle are:
Snail - monsters speeds are reversed.
Rise of the Common - only common and rare monsters can be used
My plan to have a decoy in the tank position was good. With the Cursed Windek of my opponent, that could have done real damage to Shieldbearer.
You can see after just one round that Pelacor Arbalest is deadly and almost wiped out single-handedly Cursed Windek who doesn't look such a threat anymore.
After just the second round, you can see that it's all over. They have lost their whole team almost, there is no coming back from this!!!
I am proved right, their last man is promptly wiped out and victory is assured!
Summary:
Pelacor Arbalest is deadly when used with Sloan. The double attack when it works in your favor, is a dream to behold. With the recent price drop, I bought another 10 gold foils... every team needs one.
Thanks for reading.

Nice line-up.
I haven't played that combination up front. I go for either Shieldbearer or Pelacor Conjurer. That's partly because I'm worried that if Shieldbearer gets hits without healing then he'll already be weakened if he makes it to the front rank.
Also, I like to include Silvershield Assassin (sneak + double strike), mana permitting, so I get two double strike attackers...
When a General Sloan array works it can be devastating but if the front line falls quickly and the opponent has some sneakers and snipers, things can swiftly go downhill!
Anyway, thanks for the "food for thought".

Thanks for the tip. I need to consider the extra double ranged attacker Silvershield Assassin!! I'm really struggling so far this season. I hope it gets better. Or I improve my tactics. !LOL !CTP !ALIVE

Wow! I've just been looking at the Life gold card prices and there's lots of cheap deals on offer. Pelacor Arbalest is currently $3.23 so you're nicely in profit there. Still seems cheap though.

Nicely done.
Yes, the Arbalest in combination with Sloan is a heavy hitter, especially in the lower leagues. Get one why they are still fresh out the pack :-)
And with a taunt like shield bearer, I hate it when I'm up against that combo because besides a lucky hit with scattershot it deals so much damage before it's taken out by sneak or opportunity.
Nice move stacking up on it, wise investment.
Thanks! I will keep hold of these. I also managed to bag a Djinn Chawala gold foil yesterday.
oh, that is excellent. Currently one of the most used dragon cards out there, can not go wrong with that one. And even if CL gets into wild one day, you can probably then still rent it for a good return.
yeah, it is one of my favourite dragon cards
