Hello Splinterfans!
Welcome to my entry for the Share your Battle Weekly Challenge! More details about the challenge can be found here.
Alvar can be a really powerful card, but today we will focus on the level 1 card and a way that you can use him to real benefit and give you an edge.
Doubling his attack if you face a strong tank and the demoralise are some great benefits to play him and his cost for a legendary card is not prohibitive compared to some of the other legendaries. The great thing with Alvar is also that he is a neutral monster that can play in any deck you like. A great investment if you ask me.
My Team
This is a mid-level mana battle and I have chosen the powerful Obsidian as Summoner who will give some extra magic attack to my monsters.

ROUND 1 - Legionnaire Alvar vs. Slipspawn
I noticed that my enemy had used Obsidian with magic attack for nearly all their previous battles and therefore thought this could be the perfect opportunity to bring out Legionnaire Alvar.
This would give you time to deal some serious damage to your opponent as you are about to see here. Alvar takes 10 damage from my enemy, while the rest of my magic attack finishes off Splipspawn and Mycelia Morphoid behind him.
The enemy attack is severely weakened to just 7.
ROUND 2
Round 3
In round 3, Goblin Psychic and Regal Peryton are disposed of very quickly. The power of Alvar with his Void Armor ability has caused havoc to my enemy.
I still have 11 magic attack left and with my enemy having just 10 health, the result was looking pretty clear.
Summary:
Other ways that I try to use him are to pair him with someone who can rebuild his armor!! Oh yes! That will drive your enemy nuts!! Chanesus the Great or Adelade Brightwing spring to mind. Imagine these 3 together and replenishing so much armor each turn.
Thanks for reading.
