Portal Spinner 
Just like some fiction movies we watch about opening portals, splinterlands has a card developed in regard to the spinning portal.
Portal Spinner is a rare card that is found in the life splinterlands element. It is by attack, a ranged monster with the random attack ability. Portal Spinner is seen in level one to have two ranged damage, two battling speed, one shield, and three health with mana of 5.
Also seen in the stat of Portal Spinner is the development of the snare ability from level 5 - 8. The stat image also shows changes in the terms of damage, speed, shields, and health at different levels of this card.

This battle consists of 10 splinters, six of which belong to the life element battling against four from the fire element
Team Arrangement
Summoner: General Sloan In this battle, General Sloan as one of the life summoners was my preferred choice. Sloan as a summoner increases all ranged damage by one. Its mana also falls in the range of moderate ones.
GARGOYA SCRAPPER: Who could have believed that Scrapper can stand as a defense against the great Living Lava of fire element. Anyways, that isn't the case as Scrapper is no match for Living Lava but it did keep them busy while other monsters carry out underground damage. Scrapper with the stat of 1 melee damage, 2 speed, and 2 health was used as a defense just to have the opponent monsters waste their hit as it gets a shield replacement from supporting monsters.
TIME MAGE: Speed at times could determine the outcome of a battle. With Time Mage, the enemy losses out on speed by having their speed reduced by one. Time Mage, aside from being a time manipulator, is a magic attack monster and can penetrate shields. Time Mage is used in the second position to buy more time for the other monsters behind it.
TRUTHSPEAKER: Giving all teammates two Armour is a huge contribution from a player. Truthspeaker safeguards her life and that of her teammates with a plus 2 armor offers. Although she's not an attacking monster, her usefulness cannot be neglected. Truthspeaker gets better in the later levels when she had to develop the cleanse and heal tank ability. This monster is positioned in the middle to keep it safe from many monsters, although snipe attackers and some other abilities, will always come for it first.
Portal Spinner: Already discussed at the beginning, this card is the theme for this week's challenge.
SCAVO HIRELING: Restoring armor was an important strategy in this battle and no other monster could have done it better than the neutral Scavo splinter. Used in second to the last position, Scavo was protected from early elimination which made its impact felt greatly in the battle. With only one health, Scavo is no match for enemy splinters but the additional 2 armor from truthspeaker ensured its survival.
STITCH LEECH: Melees are great cards and are even better when they possess the sneak ability. The battle already had a monster attacking from the front position, one at random, so it was necessary to put another to attack from behind, which is why this card is needed. Stitch, with 2 melee damage, 1 speed, and 3 health was useful from behind and fought till the end of the battle.
My Strategy, Did it Work?
In short, "Yes". The strategy didn't rely on muscle but on teamwork. If by muscle, my monsters were no match to that of the opponent which is why I relied the strategy on time, armor, and armor replacement.
What I Think About Portal Spinner
My thought for this card is just like most of the other splinters. Spinner's ability can't be neglected because they are very dangerous in battles. At times, their random attack eliminates the opponent's hit man, ending the battle even before it starts. Portal Spinner is a great card.
