First attempt at the Portal Spinner share your battle challenge, Well to be honest I do not use this card often since there are better range cards to use in the life set so this card is used sometimes when the ruleset forces or I need to use up my mana.

Battle rules
| Symbol | Rule Effect |
|---|---|
 | Only Monsters with odd Mana costs may be used in battles. |
Total Mana : 27
Usable elements : Water, Life and Dragon
Odd mana battle limits what cards can be played, which does change the cards I would have normally used. This ruleset does allow me to use the Portal Spinner as its an odd card which is good for this challenge.
Team Composition
| Card | Role | Reason |
|---|---|---|
 | Summoner | General sloan, my highest level summoner, its range damage does help but mostly so that i can use leveled cards |
 | Main tank, Tank Heal, Recharge | Uriel the Purifier, one of the better tank units at level 2 since it gains tank heal which is quite useful since it has a high amount of hp Plus it can fly which allows it to dodge attacks better |
 | Sneak, Melee Damage | Has Sneak so it can be place anywhere on the team and still be able to attack |
 | Range Damage, Scattershot, Star of the challenge | Has Scattershot and snare which can bring down flying units and since it has scattershot it will not be taunted however it hits at random so its really up to luck on what it attacks. |
 | Sneak, Poison | Does sneak attacks and can inflict poison debuff on the opponent team which is great since it reduce the hp by 2 per turn which is quite strong |
 | Sneak shield, Dodge | Chaos agent with its dodge ability it acts as a sneak shield for this team which its low cost its used to protect the more important backline units on the team |
Now on to the Battle
Round 1
The opponent seems to be mainly using the sandworm as its main attacker with the wavesmith being its helper, however by looking at their available damage, they would not be able to take out the Uriel the Purifier since it would constantly heal every turn.
The dodge of the chaos agent is showing its worth by dodging that first sand worm attack allowing it to escape certain death.
Round 2 & 3
Round 4 to The End
portal spinner attacks at random which makes it a hit or miss but for this battle it targeted the correct units haha
Strategy Talk
The strategy was mainly around the Uriel the Purifier card since it has the tank heal and with odd mana you are unable to use the venari crystal smith as the healer so a big strong monster with tank heal is great, if they used a unit with affliction the game might have gone differently.
Portal Spinner its a nice card to use with its high attack strength and when buffed by the summoner it hits even harder but its attacks are random which is good and bad at the same time since its requires luck.
Good ruleset to use in:
| Ruleset | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Close Range | Removes its weakness of not being able to attack when in the front |
| Odd Ones Out | Since its an odd can it works in this ruleset |
| Back to basic | Losing its scattershot just changes it to a normal hard hitting range unit which is kinda good |
| Weak magic | It has armor and low HP getting this ruleset makes it able to last longer against magic units |
| Explosive Weaponry | Since it can't be taunted its great since it will hit a random unit which may allow the blast to do more damage |
