Why did I buy this? Ep. 1 ~Halfling Alchemist level 4

I have been taking cards I find a need for and turning them into projects where I buy the cards over time as I can afford them. Doing this has given me an idea for a blog where I write about picking a deck on a disability impacted income. I make some extra money by flipping cards since I am always around my computer. I have a unique perspective not everyone has in their lives and that led me to choose Halfling Alchemist, but more specifically at level 4, as my first subject.

Why level 4? First is the fact it is the only monster with Halving. This ability I am finding very useful in Gold for Reverse Speed matches. Since it is an Untamed border Halfling Alchemist moves forward with the format split update. My favorite reason, and what spawned this idea, was that it is actually more beneficial for this particular Redemption to have less health. I find myself in a lot of Poison matches (a self-trigger!!!) or Equalizer ones where it doesn't matter the base health here. This also means an errant Magic snipe can punish glass cannons and get hiding Furious Chickens more easily. This card takes 12 additional copies to get a single health point to max it out for my bracket in Gold. This isn't a cost effective way to spend my time and I can even get some legendary summoner copies for the roughly $40 * 12 copies. Redemption is a 1-6 damage play that is hilarious to see pop for a kill or two.

This card is going to be a must have when the formats separate in my opinion in all leagues for the Halving ability, but doubly if you plan to play Gold League like I do for its entire package. This card is unique and I love how it was designed. This card makes me excited to get my hands on the Chaos Legion Promo.

Thank you for reading my thoughts. I have included a link to a charity drive we made early in the year that benefits chronically ill children. Community service is something we as plural mind enjoy doing. I hope to make that a norm in whomever decides to join me in community. ~Fox/y

That's indeed an interesting card. It's a Promo edition card I've never played. And it looks like I am not going to in due time. There are around 4,000 cards around and 29 available. Bids go against 5k DEC. That's not on my budget right now. Since I absolutely LOVE low mana cards, I would have bid for it if I had the crystals.

PS: There is a social media challenge going. Make good use of it. I'll do! https://peakd.com/splinterlands/@splinterlands/splinterlands-social-media-challenge-sept-30-2021

PPS: I have visited the extra-life URL, though it is full of abbreviations and language I unfortunately don't know. And no crypto payments. Bummer!
