I will share my battle here, which I uploaded to 3speak.
Tell us about your lineup. Explain why you put each card in that position and why they are a good fit with the CENTAUR.
This is my lineup for the battle
| Position | Summoner/Monsters | Abilities |
|---|---|---|
| Summoner | Thaddius Brood | -1 magic and health to opponent monsters |
| Position 1 | Xenith Monk | No Ability |
| Position 2 | Shadow Snitch | Reach |
| Position 3 | Riftwing | Flying, Scavenger |
| Position 4 | Parasitic Growth | Opportunity |
| Position 5 | Maggots | Opportunity |
| Position 6 | Undead Bagder | Sneak |
This was a 99 cost battle with the rule set being the "little league" where only monsters and summoners with 4 or less mana cost can be used in battle and we only could use Earth, life or death splinters.
I used Thaddius Brood as my summoner, giving my opponent -1 magic damage and -1 health for the battle.
In my first position, I used Xenith Monk as a small tank to absorb the initial heavy blows, It has 6 health with 3 "speed", so there is also a good chance for that card to get a "miss".
In the next position, Shadow Snitch was placed utilizing its "reach" ability to the fullest. Shadow Snitch has 5 health at level 1, so it can easily absorb a few hits.
I placed Riftwing in the next position in the lineup and that proved to be the MVP of the battle, Being a non-attacking card, it helped in other ways. Its "scavenger" ability added extra health each time a monster died on the battlefield. And the "Flying" ability with 3 "speed" made it almost invisible in this battle.
Parasitic Growth came in the next position, I used it for having the opportunity ability, the same goes for the "Maggots" that I placed next in the lineup. Both these cards have the "opportunity" ability and attack the most vulnerable monsters.
Lastly, I placed the "Undead Badger", a sneaky monster with 3 "speed". I have been a big fan of "sneak" and "opportunity" abilities and I try to place more of them in my lineup.
Did your strategy work? What will you try differently next time?
Yes, my strategy worked well enough. I won the battle with ease. I would have liked to use the high mana cost monsters but the rule-set didn't allow it. I will try to experiment more with a better tank at the start. I think my tank was a bit weak in this battle.
Do you like the SHADOW SNITCH? Why or why not?
I will say that I don't hate the card, but I don't like it too much. I think that there are some other monsters with 4 mana cost much better than the Shadow Snitch. But...hey, I rarely use the "Death" Splinter monsters. Maybe I need to experiment more with this.
