SHADOW SNITCH

Edition: CHAOS LEGION
Rarity: COMMON
Element: DEATH
Attack: MELEE
Abilities: Reach

=SHADOW SNITCH=

Shadow Snitches are created by the conjurers of the Chaos Legion. Weaving Death magic, they breathe life into beings made completely of darkness. The purpose of the Shadow Snitches is to be deployed into lands prior to the Chaos Legion's invasion. Moving from shadow to shadow, they are listeners and watchers, feeding information back to the Chaos Legion.

But once the invasion is complete, the Shadow Snitches still serve a purpose. They can locate and follow high-value targets, reporting back on movements to Chaos Legion leadership. If needed, Shadow Snitches can also capture prisoners and bring them back for interrogation.

Standard : No modification to the standard gameplay rules and mechanics.

(PLAY BY PLAY)

[ROUND- 1]

At the start of the first round after seeing my enemy used Earth Summoner, It's just as I expected.. Enemy team is line up with Strong Melee Tank and full of Magic attackers. So his team was prepared with good line up.
At this first round, my team knock down the opponent back row supporter the tank heal monster. This is good attack of my main sneak attacker. My team first damage reducer tanker is fall too.

[ROUND- 2]

It's a good battle. In this round two, opponent team falls his one of back row attacker again. His taker is low health in position. It is good condition for me.
At this rounds, My Theme Fighter SHADOW SNITCH is show his good support attacks.

[ROUND- 3]

This round three is tends to end of game. At the start of this round, opponent team's strong tank is fall. My team is still strong with full of team power.

After some attacks done, opponent team's last magic attacker is fall. Battle is end with victory for my team.

Opponent team's line-up is strong with magic attackers but his tank heal is fall faster.
My team also strong damage attackers.
Until the last minute, this battle is led both of us to an exciting battle.

Battle Results Reaction:

An excellent whole team performance that leads my team to victory. With the combined speedy attacker of Melee and Sneak and Reach attacker at the behind Tanker. The damage reducer supporters in particular was well supported. That was a good lineup for an Death Elemental Team for appropriate mana cost battles. By the fall of opponent team's "Tank Healer" faster, the battle is faster end.

Telling about My lineup

The main point for appropriate mana cost battle is choosing the fasted attackers with good damage attacks or create a defence team with shields. If you have "Thorns" or "Shield" ability tanker or more armored tanker, you must choose him exactly. My lineup are consists of 1 melee attack mini tanker as a damage reducer for first rounds attacks. Then follower monsters as 1 melee Strong tanker with "Thorns" ability. Then normal speed attacker with "Reach" ability( He is theme card), and then main sneak attacker with good damage, 1 magic attacker, 1 damage reducer for back row team. And then if mana cost is allow I can choose 2 or 3 Range or Sneak attackers as a back line supporters with "Flying" ability. This lineup is best for "Any other Elemental Team" battles. I use my lineup which depend on battle rules.

Did your strategy work?

Yes it did work as the SHADOW SNITCH, with Reach ability provides a good second attacker positions in appropriate mana cost battles. With this reach attacker can be a good attacker if he fights with other speedy Melee attackers- such as Opportunity and Sneak attackers. In this battle my Theme attacker "SHADOW SNITCH" is show his perfect "Reach ability attacks"power. And also the "Sneak" attacker is show his good damages. However, it is the collective strength of the whole team that makes a team strong.

What will you try differently next time?

In later matches, "SHADOW SNITCH" will be used in many other line-ups with other Death elemental monsters. I would love to twist some changes. But for now I like that lineup to work as it's really a good combination for appropriate mana cost battles. I want to meet more amazing Battles with "SHADOW SNITCH".

However, if I will use a higher level "SHADOW SNITCH" in the future, I will definitely use better cards to team up with.

Do you like the "SHADOW SNITCH"? Why or why not?

I'm in the Bronze Leagues, I love to use "SHADOW SNITCH" because of his "cheap mana cost and good reach attacks" is very support in battles. It can join with other attackers and team up a strong line up. We believe in his attacking roll to provide support at the team melee attacker and we will choose "SHADOW SNITCH" exactly.

In the future, I will try to use it on higher leagues as soon as I find my way as well to climb up there first.
