Intro
Life is not my favorite splinter, but last season i bought a general sloan lvl 2 so i start playing more life now, to practice. The chaos knight and shieldbearer are must have imo in the life deck. With low mana game i often play the chaos knight and more high mana games i use the shieldbearer, sometime both with an spirit hoarder healing up the shieldbearer who is then in the back.
THEME: CHAOS KNIGHT
Edition: CHAOS LEGION
Rarity: COMMON
Element: LIFE
Attack: MELEE
Abilities: Shield
Strategy
Target Practice so ranged monster have the extra snipe ability that come in handy with the Pelacor Arbalest. Because it is an small mana game I will use the chaos knight. The opponent will also have a life deck (no surprise here)
| Target Practice All Ranged and Magic attack Monsters have the Snipe ability. Keep a no attack, Magic or Ranged monster in position 2 with Shield, Void, Magic Reflect, Return Fire. Triage helps in this ruleset. |
The Setup:
Summoner
| Card | Reason |
|---|---|
| Just bought in last season up to level 2, and learning to play the life splinter |
Monsters Lineup
Chaos Knight (lvl3):
Good tank for low mana games with the shield that help reduce the damage into half.
Soul Fiend (lvl1):
Just meat for opportunity monster letting my archers do the rest.
Assuming that the opponent is not running any sneak monster, not seeing those often with the life deck
Xenith Archer (lvl2):
Nice neutral monster that gets 2 damage of general sloan. after pressing play i released it would have been better to place him in the back to protect my Pelacor Arbalest more.
Pelacor Arbalest (lvl3):
3 damage dealer times 2 I often play him when i use the life splinter.

Rounds:
Start:
Nice setup from my oppoenent i got worried a bit the with heal and the tank with taunt because this will make the snipe useless. so first ques is that my opponent is in favor here.
Round 1:
Xenith Archer gone, good that it was on that place (iso at the back what toughed on doing) but still not looking good. If I hit first I will be able to kill his 9 health shieldbearer, that would turn the table, if his archer gets in front it is useless (without the close range ability).
Round 2:
Luck was on my side full first attack on the taunt killing it making the Venari Crystalsmith useless (or does it still heal then in front). Depending on the next turn we will find out.
But the game is over my monsters go first based on speed and will kill both in the next round
Round 3:
Final round finishing off both monster as expected. Unfortunately not able to see if the healer still get to heal (itself) even if it not a close range monster.
So if you know please let me know in a comment below.
Conclusion
Nice battle to watch and learn expected the taunt would have been in favor but speed and focus helped this battle.
Thx for the read and till next week all
