Hello all Splinterlands players and potential newcomers. This weeks battle challenge is focused on "Mycellic Slipspawn". Take a look at the cards statistics.
This card at level 1 offers the "Taunt" ability. Which means all fire from the backfield will be directed only at this card until it's dead. Let's look at my battle for this week and see how this ability can give you a great tactical advantage.

Now to discuss the strategy in using"Mycellic Slipspawn".
What I like to do is appoint a low Mana cost tank, such as "Hill Giant". The tank will be healed by "Goblin Psychic" and "Spirit Hoarder" will heal the backfield. Since only "Mycellic Slipspawn" will be taking fire due to the "Taunt" ability it's important to have a card with the "Triage" ability. Now my tank will rest easy, only being attacked by the Frontline and be healed every round. Meanwhile, the large HP carried by "Mycellic Slipspawn" makes it difficult for the enemy team to get him out of the way. This results in the enemy tank falling while my tank is in perfect condition. If the enemy manages to drop "Mycellic Slipspawn" they now have to face "Hill Giant". In my listed battle here, the enemy never even got thru my "Mycellic Slipspawn".
