Good morning warriors! It is a brand new week,how is the grinding panning out?We just have 3 days left for the season to come to an end.I welcome 🤗 you to my blog, 
Today I want to share with you the importance of having a balance deck in your splinterlands battles.
As warriors we've all been there,staring at your lineup, stacking the highest-damage monsters you own, only to watch your "unbeatable" deck crumble in the first few rounds.Pure power sounds good on paper, but climbing the ranks demands something smarter: a balanced mix of abilities that control the battlefield, protect your team, and outlast your opponent.
Splinterlands is no walk in the park, but that's what amps up the excitement.A winning strategy weighs stats, abilities, rulesets, mana caps, and beyond. That's why you must factor them all into your deck building. Toss in strong cards to boost your setups, and push hard to rack up as many victories as possible! 🔥
There are some battles I fought which I ordinarily should have won, but upon close observation, I realized I was missing a special ability that would have most likely secured the victory if it had been present.The ability I am talking about is Tank Heal.The featured monsters I have for it are Meriput Magician and Satha Toledo.This post is for MERIPUT MAGICIAN.
Meet the Hero: MERIPUT MAGICIAN
The Meriput Magician is a 5 mana cost,common Life monster from the Rebellion set. Despite its small size, it delivers powerful Tank Heal support that can completely change the outcome of battles.
Max Stats:LEVEL 10
Magic Attack: 1
Armor: 0
Health: 8
Speed: 5
It has an amazing speed at max level, which is a plus in a one on one situation.
Key Abilities (gained progressively):
At level 1(Bronze), it has the tank heal ability.
TANK HEAL.Every round, it restores 1/3 of the maximum health (rounded appropriately) to the allied monster in the first position — your primary tank.It also contributes magic damage,giving you offensive pressure without sacrificing its defensive utility.
At level 5(Silver),It gains another ability Shield.
SHIELD.50% less damage(rounded up) from physical attacks or 0 damage from physical attacks of 1 power. Shield is a defensive ability that significantly reduces damage from physical attacks (Melee and Ranged attacks).On the Meriput Magician,Shield pairs beautifully with its Tank Healability.
While it heals your main tank every round,its own Shield lets it survive longer if it ever gets focused by physical attackers.This combo makes it a very reliable support monster,it stays alive to keep healing while taking reduced punishment from melee and ranged threats.
At max level 10(Gold/Champion),It gains yet again another ability called the Strengthen.
STRENGTHEN.It gives +1 max health to all allied units.
BATTLES:
MERIPUT MAGICIAN in action this season.As a #splinterlands warrior you would certainly fall in love with this little magician.Happy viewing 🤗.
Battle 1
In this very battle,my opponent also had Meriput in his collection making it so interesting.The edge I had over my opponent was my summoner, Sheng Xiao granting two monsters with poison burst and this distraction couple with my Meriput was the game changer.
