Weekly Battle Challenge Shadow Snitch

Shadow snitch isn't OP, can be thought of as underwhelming in fact, but the fact that it makes a decent secondary tank and has reach to make it functional in second position makes it a very viable card.

Battle Flow

When I saw thorns in the back I thought for sure that i was in trouble. By the end of round one me badger and Sha-vi were wiped out and there was still a full compliment of enemy cards, the only saving grace was that i now was not hitting anything with thorns and his front line healer only had 3 hp left. With all of the opposing monsters only doing one damage and my disintegrator at full i was optomistic of being able to hold the onslaught for a little while at least.
Round two I kill the spirit and the carion shade kills itself on thorns this makes things look up drastically.
Round three windeku kills the sha-vi and since parasitic growth is only 1 speed the shadow snitch dispatches it right away, leaving the maggots to kill themselves with thorns. Now it's just his windeku against mine plus i still have a full shadow snitch and the disintegrator. Thanks to my initial plan of daria my windeku hits leaving the windeku with 1 hp and when he hits back thorns finishes him.

Beautiful win and the shadow snitch didn't even take a single point of damage because of his second position utility. I like this card as he is under rated and underestimated by most people.
