Hello again, my coffee loving friends. Mylor Crowling is an Untamed summoner whom you can always get value of. His Thorns ability might look like weak on paper but when you think about it, most tanks have melee damage allowing you to always get value with this ability.

With Mylor Crowling, you are also always ahead in mana against your enemies as he only needs 3 mana to use giving your team an extra mana to pull out huge stronger units like Kron the Undying.

In rule sets like Taking Sides, having a boss carry unit is essential especially since your choices are very limited. If you can pull out a unit that you know can carry your games, then you won't have a hard time in this rule set.

STRATEGY


This is a very simple strategy. The main idea is to pump my team with Heal and Tank Heal while using Mylor Crowling's Thorns as the main source of damage. This build counters Sneak melee very hard as they get a damage back from the Thorns whenever they attack. Any damage I got gets healed through my abilities.

CARD POSITIONING


In this battle, I used the summoner, Mylor Crowling and units, Hill Giant, Earth Elemental, Goblin Psychic, Kron the Undying .


Quick Stats


Level 6: Rare Summoner.
Allows level 8 common, level 6 rare, level 5 epic and level 3 legendary.
Thorns: When hit with a Melee attack, does damage back to the attacker

Cripple - Thorns

Cripple - Thorns - Heal

Cripple - Thorns - Silence - Affliction - Tank Heal
1. Level 3: A very efficient tank if you need one for low mana battles. While he doesn't have any abilities except those given by the rule sets and summoners, he still has high health to protect your team as a tank. 2. Level 6: Has decent range attacks and high health. Earth Elemental also has Heal ability to act as a tank in case of emergency. 3. Level 8: One of the best units in Earth Element. He has the damage and abilities to help your team under any conditions. A must have for any Earth Element team.
‎‎

Cripple - Thorns - Last Stand - Divine Shield - Heal
4. Level 3: The boss unit of this build. Damage, ability, health, sustain, you name it and he has it. If you're against Kron the Undying, try to kill him first as killing him last activates Last Stand increasing his stats which increases his damage and heals as well.
