This battle is a low Mana battle. So I use "Gargoya Scrapper" as a tank. Backing him up with "Truth speaker" to provide him with armor and if you level him up to 3 he'll also have the "Void" ability. "Gargoya Scrapper" is a cheap card so leveling up to 3 is pretty cheap to do. With my front set up I then use "Celestial Harpy" and "Stitch Leech" to attack from the backfield. With such a low amount of mana the enemy will likely not have too much attack power, so the time spent on my first 2 cards gives my attackers time to deal damage. Even though the enemy used "Deeplurker" who has the opportunity ability he was prompted to first attack my front and not my backfield because of the low HP that these cards have.
