Life is hard. Hello people. I don't know how to tell you about the challenge for this week. I played many battles with the LIFE element using the themed card, but I lost all of them.🙂
So, I chose the least bad battle to talk about.
The themed card: GARGOYA SCRAPPER.
It is a melee attack monster from the LIFE unit. It is not so famous, but it can be useful sometimes.
Mana Cost: 1. Attack: 1 melee. Speed: 2. Health: 2. No armor.
In my battles I don't use it, unless if I needed it to fill the Mana Cap.
My lineup & strategy:
Generally, I don't play with the LIFE element, i'm not good with it. But today I used GENERAL SLOAN as my summoner to make my ranged attack monster stronger.
1- Our special guest: GARGOYA SCRAPPER.
I used it as my tank to recieve the first strike and help the others to hit from the back lines.
2- SHIELDBEARER.
I also used it to be a target by its ability Taunt, I thought that it will allow the rest of my monsters avoid some attacks.
3- TRUTHSPEAKER.
I respect the monsters with the Protect ability. I always use them to get +2 armor.
4- PELACOR ARBALEST.
With 2+1 ranged attack, and the Double Strike ability, it can be destructive.
5- PORTAL SPINNER.
I depended on its Scattershot ability to hit some weak monsters of the opponent and make damages.
6- MANTOID.
I like this monster, it is strong, and helpful with the Snipe ability.

Mana Cap & Rules Of Compat:
It was a short battle, as many times I was surprised that my opponent used the EARTH element and the summoner OBSIDIAN. Also he used MYCELIC SLIPSPAWN to protect his other monsters with the Taunt ability.
In the first round, my ranged attack monsters hit MYCELIC SLIPSPAWN, and GARGOYA SCRAPPER hit UNICORN MUSTANG and made it enter in the Rage mode, also his magicians hit SHIRLDBEARER.
The end wasn't far off in the second round, because the poison killed four of my monsters and the MYCELIC SLIPSPAWN. After that, REGAL PERYTON eliminated PORTAL SPINNER, and UNICORN MUSTANG eliminated MANTOID. It was so harsh. 🙄
My opinion:
I don't like the LIFE element, it's not the strongest. And i'm not good with using it.
About the themed card, as I said, it is not a strong monster, it can help you just when you have to use monsters with low Mana Cost.
