SHARE YOUR BATTLE Weekly Challenge! LIFE SAPPER
Now before we get into the stats discussion of the Sapper, let's have a sneak peek into its LORE.
- The Life Sapper is a Rare Monster. At level 1 it has 1 Magic Attack, 2 Speed, 0 Armor and 2 Health but most importantly it starts off with the Life Leech (Monster's health increases each time it damages an enemy Monster's health in proportion to the damage dealt) ability. This is its signature ability and it is what makes this Monster totally worth its mana cost of 3.
- At level 4 (max for Silver) it gains an additional point in Magic Attack for a total of 2 but at the same time it actually loses 1 health point compared to level 3. It is actually a pretty good trade-off having in mind it makes up for that pretty quickly thanks to Life Leech.
- Finally, maxed out at level 8 it has 2 attack, 4 speed, and 4 health. It also gains an additional ability which could also make a difference depending on the situation - Redemption (when this Monster dies, it does 1 damage to all enemy monsters).
Now that we know what the card does (or doesn't do) at the different levels of play, let us have a look at the battle I have chosen to showcase.

- The line-up of the Battle and the Ruleset:
It is time for a quick round by round analysis:
- The Summoner I am going with for the battle (as I have already mentioned) is Thaddius. It is a Gold 2 level battle. My opponent has decided to go with a level 3 Quix. Playing against Quix is unfortunate for our friend - the Soul Strangler as Quix nerfs its damage but thankfully I do not have any other Ranged Attackers.
- After 1 round of exchanging blows I have lost my Cursed Wendiku but the opponent's Djinn Chwala is about to die and also stunned. My Riftwing has taken the responsibility to act as the Main Tank for as long as possible.
- Round 3 begins with the obvious fact that I have gained huge momentum in Round 2, so the battle is more or less over at this point.
- Round 4 is upon us and the only thing left for my team to do is to deal with the lonely Merdaali Guardian left on my opponent's side of the board.
The Life Sapper is a great Ranged Attacker for the Death Splinter. It can make a difference in a battle, especially a prolonged one, since the more turns it takes to attack, the bigger (in terms of health) it gets. The Life Sapper is currently valued at $0.17 per BCX, which is actually a fair price for such a good Rare Monster. I would definitely include it in my must-buy list if I did not have it already.
