This weeks theme card is THE LIFE SAPPER. It’s under the death splint so that’s where we’re off to now.
THE LIFE SAPPER
The life sapper is in between life and death. One side of its body is ghostly while the other side is alive and well, they are neither fully living nor dead. Life sappers feed off the energies around them. Simply being within view of a Life Sapper will make you feel sick and weak. They siphon energy from their victims, they slowly weaken and sicken their victims while simultaneously healing themselves.
STATS OF THE CARD

BATTLE LINK
Below is a link to the battle:
Did my strategy work?
Yes it did. I ended up victorious
What will you try differently next time?
I don’t know for now. It definitely has to be a better strategy.
Do you like Life Sapper?
Yes I do
Why?
It cost just three mana cap plus it has great stats (most especially the Magic attack). The Life Leech ability is also interesting. Who doesn’t want a card that gains an extra life after it attacks an enemy’s cards.
Thanks for reading! See you next time.
