Long time not posted, but I could not resist this useful little guy, as life teams are my favorites in Silver!

Gargoya Scrapper

Overview

This little card is one of my favorite meat shields from the life team, only bested by the one and only Pelacor Conjurer. With it's 1 mana cost and Lorna Shine it blocks at least 2 hits before the enemy attacks my main team. Why do I need these extra hits? Simple, my strategy is based on stealth fight, so the longer it takes for the enemy to kill my tanks the more damage I can do in his back lines.
As you can see this card get Void shield at level 2, now the new legendary life summoner will make this card extremely useful against magic attacks:

We will have:
Void : -1 damage from magic hits (3+ lvl ability of Gargoya Scrapper)
+1 shield : from Grandmaster Rathe
Void Armor: from Grandmaster Rathe so magic attacks can't penetrate the shield of the enemy.

Now let's sneak Truthspeaker into the mix. Sounds promising, doesn't it :)

Where to use this card?

IconRulesetReason
EqualizerThis is one of the best Rulesets to optimize this lovely meatshield :)
Melee MayhemAdvantage: Can attack from any position
Super SneakAdvantage: Can attack from any position

Now lets check out a fight.
Ruleset:

  • 16 Mana
  • Fire, Water, Life, Death and Dragon are allowed
  • Lost Legendaries ruleset

Here is a great example on how to eat up the enemy team from the back, and see how sometimes not attacking is the best choice. I often add a Time Mage to the mix, in case I have a card with Shield or Torns in the front.
