Rise, Shin-lo!!

One of the rarest cards, and I've rarely seen it on the battlefield, at least on gold/diamond leagues, where i usually play. And I have the impression that it's not that used even on higher leagues, or am I wrong?

Nevertheless... in some ocasions, it can be an ass-kicker!!

And why? Magic sneak damage! It's true, only 2 magic damage even if maxxed. But what if...

• you use a magic booster summoner, like Delwyn or Arius?

• you choose the earth splinter, and now you can have TWO magic sneak damage dealers in your team?

Now, even at level 1, you have 4 magic sneak damage with this combination! And if they are maxxed, the magic damage combined with the summoner bonus equal 7 MAGICAL SNEAK DAMAGE! Especially in rule sets without melee, where most players don't expect sneak attacks, this strategy can become really handy!

I'm the happy owner of one of the Shin-los, and since it's on the market at a ridiculous high price, I can't use it on regular gameplay. But, it is available on tournaments. And in one of the last tournaments I've entered, I've used this double magic sneak strategy:

Here it is in full action! And if you haven't guessed the result by the inicial line-up...

Probably the best of all, the two magic sneak damage dealers combined only spend 4 mana! Which means, in a maxxed team, 7 magic sneak damage for only 4 mana!

Let's see if the new pairing system (exciting news, if you haven't checked the last post from @steemmonsters, do it!) brings me closer to the top level teams, maybe I'll see the little dragon more often!

To all the top players out there owning one of these... how often do you use it?

See you on the battlefield!
