It's time to SLOW DOWN - SHARE YOUR BATTLE Weekly Challenge

Time Mages are members of the Order of the Silver Shield and close associates of the Wizards' Council. They are trusted to peer through the fabric of time and reality to foretell the future or manipulate the present by slowing the flow of time. They can also speed up the aging process of armor, causing it to rust prematurely.

Welcome to another topic in the weekly challenge promoted by Splinterlands: SHARE YOUR BATTLE Weekly Challenge! TIME MAGE
And this week's card is a rare Magic Damage card from the Light Splinter set.

Opinion about the monster

It is a rare monster from the chaos legion edition that at its initial level will provide you with 4 speed, 1 magic cast, and your measly 3 life, accompanied by its Slow ability that will reduce the speed of all your enemies, perhaps at level 5 it will be interesting to have due to acquiring the ability that will finish off the target's armor.

Really Useful?

Honestly if you are only going to use it for this purpose of slowing your opponent down by 1 you might just be losing your slot or wasting mana from your deck.
Everyone should know about Creeping Ooze, which for only 1 mana can offer the same ability.

Battle

Since it was a battle that the rules allowed all melee monsters to acquire the Sneak skill I decided to put a tank with the Shield skill and then enter Chaos Knight along with Blinding Reflector in the front line.
I figured that the monster would have some card value higher than 3 due to its last battles, so I decided to add Time Mage and Creepin Ooze that slowed everyone down. -2, but they didn't pass 2 speed which ended up being just a sacrifice card.
This battle was not so encouraging since the enemy used almost the same deck in different positions, my only triumph over this may have been the advantage of the magic attack that ignores the Chaos Knight's armor, since my tank would not do any damage.
