Splinterlands - Lord Arianthus (Rental Experience)

I been fortunate enough to have @rentmoney provide me a free use of his level 2 Lord Arianthus for a couple of weeks. I have played enough games in past two weeks to say that a level 2 LoA is good to use versus a level 1. I had in the past played with a LoA but this one takes the cake.

Lord of Arianthus

The best use of LoA is to be placed at the front of formation. Its abilities it what makes it a very good tank monster. On top of all that LoA is a neutral monster that can be used with other splinters. On the other hand drawbacks are that its not a monster that can attack nor one that can win on its own.

Would I want to own one?

Due to multiple types of tanker monsters and the cost per use is lower versus LoA I would likely not be purchasing my own LoA for use. From experience I have used a level 1 LoA with little success and 1 bcx being around $4+. Other decent tankers would be Goblin Mech or Gelatinous Cube which both are less than 10 cents per 1 bcx. Although it will take more bcx to level Goblin Mech and Gelatinous Cube but still much cheaper than a getting a LoA.
I enjoyed my use of the LoA but not having it due to its cost and having other alternatives are my reasons to pass on owning one. It was a great opportunity to have played and used the card and would not mind in the future to use it more but for the sake of long term play I would moved toward leveling a Gelatinous Cube.
