Hello everyone and welcome to the Battle Weekly Challenge. This week the challenge is with Gem Meteor, an epic Neutral element card with the Scattershot ability that belongs to the Chaos Legion edition.
In this particular battle we are going to face a level 1 Tarsa summoner. We are going to play on equal terms since we can only use cards at level 1. So let's see the rules, the team and the details of the battle.
This is a 29 mana battle with the "Odd Ones Out" rule where only Fire, Life and Death elements are allowed to play.

Life magic came naturally to Reega Sloan. As one of the top healers in her field, she was the first they would call to cleanse the sick and cure the wounded. Growing up in the city of Ulundin, she became renowned for her healing abilities and many came to see them, some traveling hundreds of miles in the hope of being treated. She always performed her magic at no cost, simply wanting to help others. Reega has often wondered at the magic that has grown within her since joining the Chaos Legion. Sometimes she can feel the chaos energy, wriggling inside like a parasite that craves more of the life blood she can channel. It quickly became apparent that every time she used her healing abilities, her power grew stronger, artfully twisted by the taint of chaos and subtly transformed to be more aggressive. It wasn’t until she was confronted by patrolling soldiers from Ulundin that she understood the real changes that had occurred. Chaos-fuelled magic enveloped her, twisting tendrils of purple energy into the nearby Portal Spinners that had accompanied her and enhancing their attack. The result was so devastating that not a single soldier was left standing. As they writhed and cried out in pain on the ground, Reega smiled; she didn’t feel like helping any of them. |
General Sloan: I really like this summoner as it gives +1 ranged atack to all friendly ranged attack monsters. By selecting more ranged units in your team, you maximize the benefit you gain from selecting General Sloan.
Warrior of Peace: I think this card is a very good tank as it has high Speed (5), HP (9) and reduces the melee atack of all enemy monsters with its "Demoralize" ability. The enemy player should use many melee attack monsters due to the elements that are open, so I think it is a good card in this battle.
Creeping Ooze: Ooze is one of those cards that fits very well into almost any composition. I find it especially good in low mana games thanks to its "Slow" ability, which reduces the attack speed of all enemy monsters allowing our monsters to attack first and have less chance to miss.
Scavo Hireling: The idea of using Scavo Hireling is to protect our monsters as much as possible by repairing their armor.
Truthspeaker: This card gives +2 armor to all friendly monsters. I think it’s very useful since many of our monsters have no armor. Armor will allow us to resist more attacks from enemy monsters with melee and ranged attacks.
Portal Spinner: I love cards with the "Scattershot" ability like Portal Spinner and Gem Meteor, they are so much fun as they attack a random target. In addition, ranged attack monsters are particularly strong in combination with our summoner General Sloan as it gives +1 ranged atack to all friendly ranged attack monsters.
Gem Meteor In the last position I have used Gem Meteor, the protagonist of this battle challenge. I think it’s a very good card as there are no more neutral ranged attack cards with 4 Speed at Level 1. High speed is very important as it gives more chances to dodge monsters attacks. His high Speed and the +2 armor that Truthspeaker gives to the team make him a very strong monster. Using it in the last position allows us to protect our friendly monsters from enemy monsters with the Sneak ability.

I think my strategy worked quite well. As I had anticipated my enemy used many melee attack monsters. We were able to successfully counter his strategy and win the battle. We've cleverly used the 29 mana cap of battle to make a pretty good team. So I am happy with the result and the strategy I used.
Yes, I like Gem Meteor. Personally I think it is a card that should be used wisely and in the right battles. We can benefit from its high Speed to use it in the last position and bait enemy monsters with the Sneak ability.
One of the things I like most about this card is that it is Neutral. Being a Neutral card allows us to use it with different summoners and strategies, which is very powerful. I like to use this card with the summoner General Sloan that gives +1 ranged atack to all friendly ranged attack monsters.
