These two have been in my card reviews before and there's a reason for this. It's because they are really strong and is one of my cores.

When you can't use range monsters, using Magic damage type is really your next best thing and is a good thing to always have in your back pocket.

Stats | Magi Necrosi

_{𝔓𝔥𝔬𝔱𝔬 𝔣𝔯𝔬𝔪 𝔪𝔶 𝔖𝔭𝔩𝔦𝔫𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔩𝔞𝔫𝔡𝔰 𝔞𝔠𝔠𝔬𝔲𝔫𝔱.}

When I rent Magi Necrosi, I always rent at least level 3. A level 1 of this monster has 2 magic damage. If you can get at least a level 3, this will increase 1 magic damage of Magi Necrosi which is strong at for a magic damage monster.

_Abilities

At level 1, Snipe and Camouflage is unlocked.

Monsters with Snipe abilities prioritizes non-melee monsters and/or monsters that are not in first position.

Monsters with Camouflage ability cannot be targeted by monsters for an attack unless they are in first position.

---

At level 4, Oppression is unlocked. Monsters with Oppression ability doubles the damage against monsters without an attack or what I call, "passive monsters." This works really well with the Snipe ability as one of the priority target of Snipe monsters are passive monsters.

---

At level 6, Stun is unlocked. Monster with Stun ability has a chance of applying Stunned effect to opponent it hits. Stunned opponents skips their next turn.

Summoner: Thaddius Brood: reduces opponent's health and magic damage by 1. Good in all situations.

1. Cursed Windeku: Has Thorns ability that provides 2 damage to all melee opponent that hits. I used Cursed Windeku this game to abuse the Amplify ability which furthermore increases the Thorns damage by 1.
2. Riftwing: A low mana tank with Scavenge. Also has Backfire ability that deals 2 damage to any opponent that miss their attack against this monster. Also has Flying ability that gives 15% evasion rate against non-flying monsters.
3. Revealer: Deals 2 magic damage and has Stun ability.
4. Silent Sha-Vi: A strong melee monster with Sneak ability.
5. Pelacor Defender: A high health monster for only 5 mana.
6. Magi Necrosi: Has 3 magic damage, Snipe and Camouflage.

ᗪIᗪ YOᑌᖇ ᔕTᖇᗩTEGY ᗯOᖇKEᗪ?

Yes. With Broken Arrow rule of combat prohibiting the use of range, the opponents can only use either Melee or Magic damage types.

With Thorns damage increased by Amplify ability, it's a 50% chance that opponent uses melee monster and take that improved damage and is one part of my strategy for this game.

Snipe and Sneak also worked great in eliminating possible magic damage monsters placed at behind their main tank. Taking out Venari Wavesmith early also took out the Protect ability that gives 2 armor to my opponent's monsters.

---

ᗯᕼᗩT ᗯIᒪᒪ YOᑌ TᖇY ᗪIᖴᖴEᖇEᑎTᒪY ᑎE᙭T TIᗰE?

The only one I can change in this lineup is Pelacor Defender. Since he's a melee monster without any target modifying ability such as Sneak, he cannot attack unless on first position. The reason I add him is that I have no better choice based on my current cards.

I also have no idea whom to change him with but anything that can attack while being at the back is better.

Also, Taking Sides rule of ability messed me up quite a bit because originally, Pelacor Defender should be Uraeus, a 3 mana neutral monster with 2 melee damage and Sneak.

Magi Necrosi on Broken Arrows

? 𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒐𝒓 𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒏𝒐𝒕?

Yes. Magi Necrosi is one of the best monsters in Death Splinter. Not only he has magic damage meaning his attacks can pass through armor and always hits, but he also has Sneak that prioritizes non-melee monsters avoiding most tanks, he also has Camouflage to protect him from attacks such as Sneak or Opportunity.

Needless to say, Magi Necrosi is one of my core and favorite monsters among Death Splinters.
