And in this challenge, the lucky monster comes from the life splinter. Today we'll play with the Time Mage. It's a magic monster that I use quite frequently. ![stats.png](https://images.ecency.com/DQmSFDTV2KhXCsm8MqaQW8iN5wTS14T87vfvo37EiGgJGaR/stats.png) Time Mage is a four-mana card with two abilities in the gold league. Those are - slow and rust. Sure, it's quite vulnerable, but because of these two abilities, this card can alter the whole game. E.g. it effectively nullifies both bonuses from Kelya. It's usable also in lower leagues, but I love to play the Time Mage in the gold league due to the rust ability.

Rules

- armored up - even stevens - 17 mana - Fire, water, life, dragon splinters allowed It was a low-mana battle with an extra armor rule, so it was the perfect time to play this card and nullify the bonus for my opponent.

(Summoner) General Sloan

I picked this summoner as I have multiple low mana cards, including archers, that I could play. And, also I wanted to play the Time Mage, who comes from the life splinter.

I do like this magic summoner. Some consider General Sloan a bit weak, but I like to play this card in various matchups.
