Here's the ruleset
Lineup:
Summoner: General Sloan
Sloan buffs my ranged attacks
Tank: Chaos Knight
Chaos Knight has the Shield ability which is so powerful when you expect a lot of melee or ranged attacks. It also helps to reduce the damage from earthquakes.
1st position: Portal Spinner
The Spinner hits hard for just 5 mana and has a relatively low life total which is a good combination for the Equalizer ruleset. The Scattershot ability adds an element of uncertainty to the battle which can work out really well or it can be a complete waste. It should be remembered that Scattershot ignores taunt which is often a great help.
2nd position: Time Mage
Moves fast and slows down my opponent. Even though it doesn't have a ranged attack like most of the monsters who pop up frequently with Sloan this card is too good to pass up. It's a good indicator that you're dealing with a great card when it's on both sides of the battlefield.
3rd position: Divine Healer
The Tank Heal ability can be hit or miss in the Equalizer ruleset. When it's good, it can be very good.
4th position: Pelacor Arbalest
6 damage when combined with Sloan and just 2 starting health. This monster is made for the Equalizer ruleset.
5th position (rear tank): Venari Crystalsmith
This monster combines a ranged attack with the Tank Heal ability.
Did my strategy work?
Not this time. I am consistently impressed with the Truthspeaker when I face off against it. I think it made a big differeence for my opponent.
Do I like Portal Spinner?
Yes. I think the Scattershot ability was a very creative addition and adds a great level of variability to the game.
What will I try differently next time?
We can see that the Truthspeaker was great for my opponent. I think that would have been a great addition to my lineup in this battle. Maybe in place of the Divine Healer or the Portal Spinner.
