99 mana big boy battle and reverse speed

I am to new of a player to be lucky enough to own the centaur, which i used to play a fair amount as a past starter deck card. My preferance for the snipe cards is the Silvershield Sheriff; same speed as the centaur and yes significantly higher mana cost, but an absolute beast of a back tank for a ranged card.

At level 1 he is 9 mana so yes a big play, but with 3 ranged damage, 3 speed and 8 hit points with snipe also comes with big utility. Running him with sloan also gives +1 to ranged which gives a 4 ranged damage snipe unit which can destroy lots of monsters.

# ROUND 2

As you see from start of round 2 his alpha strike finished off the Shieldbearer which was the main hinderance to him being able to snipe off one of my opponents ranged units. Coupled with the Crystalsmith to heal my Shieldbearer enabling me to control his snipe attacks longer. In a large mana/potentially longer match it is of utmost importance to be able to control where the hits land especially against your team so that your glass cannon type attack units can stay in the battle longer and increase win potential.

# ROUND 3

Eliminating two more of his units did cost me two of mine, but looking at the field i was still really confident on my choices to bring me a win as my back line could all survive a hit from scattershot, and my warrior of peace will absorb the damage output he was about to throw my way.
# ROUND 4

At this point its all over, his ranged us useless and i still have my three back line attacks. Fast and efficient everything i was expecting from my Silvershield Sheriff; a card that i feel is very overlooked and underrated.
