The new Neutral Steem Monsters have totally changed the deck strategy since being released in Beta. And I think the most underrated card is actually common.
So which card is it?
Well, you might be surprised to know it's a Monster Card that doesn't actually have any attack power.
I guess that's why he's called the Peaceful Giant.
And unlike other tanks in the game this one is made to last the duration of the game once leveled up and teamed with Life Support.
Just take a look at all that health as a fully leveled up monster. Surely he's going to take some beats before he's defeated. And he only costs 5 mana to play.
So if he can get the aid of one or two life support Monsters it'll be a slow grind to extinguish him.
So the obvious Summoner to use would be Tyrus Paladium with a Divine Healer and Level 2 Angel of Light.
Then with the last 5 mana you could play the Air Elemental at the rear.
So the Team would look like this...
Summoner - Tyrus Paladium (Lvl 8) (mana 3)
1st Position - Peaceful Giant (Lvl 10) (mana 5)
2nd Position - Divine Healer (Lvl 6) (mana 3)
3rd Position - Angel of Light (Lvl 2) (mana 4)
4th Positon - Air Elemental (Lvl 3) (mana 5)
I know there are only two attack cards in this deck, but combined they have 4 ranged attack points on offer each round.
And remember you're using the Peaceful Giant as a 'Wall' so you've got all day :-D
I'm certainly interested on giving this deck a try when the battles begin for real.
Defensive Weakness - Sneak attack from behind, but with Dodge and health recovery built into this deck the Air Elemental might just hang around long enough to see the battle through.
Your thoughts?
