Hello splinterlands lovers!
This is my splinterlands weekly battle challenge submission with the Theme- WOOD NYMPH

source

Whenever I have to play with Mylore Growling, I feel very comfortable due to Summoner's Thorns ability. Fortunately I get this week theme from Earth splinter in the form of Wood Nymph. Recently I stopped to play with this Earth summoner and if someone checks my recently played team, then he finds Lorna Shine, Quid Yuff or any Dragon Summoner. In this way the opponent being sure enter the ground with two or three Melee attack monsters. When I checked my opponent's recently played team then I found that mostly he was using TARSA an additional Melee attack Summnoer. I felt happy. It was only 36 Mana battle game and I wanted to use health base monsters because opponent's summoner was reducing one health with the buff. Fortunately Wood Nymph increasing one health all friendly monsters. It means there will be no effect of Tarsa except of increasing Melee attack. He was getting more Melee attack benefit from General. Now let's have some quick summary about loot chest that I get from ended splinterlands season. Including one gold foil, five hundred Dec along with 3 rare monster. Nothing more was special that I can count you.

THEME CARD-
This week's theme card is WOOD NYMPH that is my favourite one common monster from Earth splinter with Tank Heal and Strengthen ability.

ABILITY- Tank Heal at level 1 and strengthen at level six.

BATTLE RULE

source

It was just 36 Mana battle game in which only 5 splinters were active and this battle to rules were applied.
STAMPEDE- it means temple ability will active again and again when any trampled monster is killed.

HOLY PROTECTION- First attack will be ignored by all master due to Divine shield ability.

MY SUMMONER

source

For this battle I chosen MYLORE CROWLING as my Summoner due to its Thorns ability. Before battle I noticed in opponent's recently played team that my opponent was using again and again Melee attack increasing Summoner. I was happy that I was going to use Thorn ability monster that will be benefited in Melee Mythem. Fortunately when we revealed our battle card then I found there was 5 Melee monsters in opponent's battle queue. Half battle I had been won already rest of the work completed by exceeding attack of Range monsters. Although my opponent was using Ferexia General to increase additional Melee attack. Wood Nymph played it's role very well healed front monster's health two time that provide enough chance to resist opponent's front monster.

TEAM SELECTION AND CARD PLACING

It was just 36 Mana battle game, so there was no plenty of freedom to choose maximum Mana monsters. I given priority 1 legendary monster without attack in the form of Lord Arianthus, two Melee monsters in the form of Goblin Thief and Flesh Golem, 1 magic attack monster in the form of today's theme card and two range attack monster in the form of Mitica Headhunter and Javelin Thrower. It was a perfect team combination. Although I made a mistake. There can be used any heal tank at a last position because opponent was using maximum Sneak ability monsters. I will tell you step-by-step the specification of the card, why I placed them in this ordering.

LORD ARIANTHUS

source

This is my most favourite one traditional neutral legendary monster that I use often in low mana battle game. In others world you can say that it is durable card due to its Void, shield, magic reflect and Thorn ability. Once heal for this monster be enough to increase the the concern of the opponent's head. It is use as a monster without attack but its utility is great. I placed it at first position so that I can attract low Mana card for attack and thorn them. You can see that Tusk the Ride and Rediated Brute got damages due to Lord Arianthus.

FLESH GOLEM

source

Second place was reserved for Flesh Golem to support the front monster. It is one of the most useful common monster from Earth splinter. This monster comes with Tank Heal and Void ability to reduce the impact of magic attack. Although there was no use of magic attack by opponent because it was already five monster used from Melee attack. I taken this monster to see its utility in the form of pretty good health , attack and Heal ability. You can say it is ""Garibon ka Sanni deol." I like this card since my beginning and continuously using occasionally this card. Whenever there is a slight chance to have this card in playing team , definitely I like to use this monster.

WOOD NYMPH

source

This is today's theme card and I like this card very much because of its strengthen and to support the front monster with Tank Heal ability. This is common monster from reward edition and I placed it at third place so that I can use its heal ability very well. With level eight it be more effective because it's magic attack increases. You can see that wood nymph removed Tusk The Wide and once supported Lord Arianthus with heal. I use this monster during little League, rest of the time I try to search another alternative of it.

GOBLIN THIEF

source

There is slight mistake made by me by choosing this monster. I should go for Doctor Blight that would have been more effective. To be honest in hurry I forget that there is also good alternative of it. Although this monster did its task very well to reduce the impact of Worm Sand. It's pretty good speed and 3 melee attack helped a lot to defeat opponent. This is also one of the most useful common monster. This monster ended the battle in a grand way by finishing Ferexia General that was only one range monster used by opponent. The role of such monster become important we are playing in little League battle ruleset because its Mana is just four with pretty good health and speed.

JAVELIN THROWER

source

I placed this monster at the number of 5. It is very delicate and humble monster comes from Rare Rarity. Dodge and Piercing ability like a boon for this monster. I always praise its massive attack and accelerating speed. Although the role of this monster was very short for this battle because due to sneak ability of opponen card I lost this monster in second round. Its first attack was ignored by divine shield ability, second time damage 3 health but there was no chance for 3rd round. Next time when I have to play with this monster definitely I would like to give some more protection to the this card. The more chances give this card to attack, the more effective it will be prove.

MITICA HEADHUNTER

source

Its health is not appropriate according to its Mana. Forget about its health and see it's speed and attack. The card I value the most is this card because both its speed and attack are commendable. I lost this monster after one attack and it was pathetic for me. I could have used its speed and attack better, if I use it at number 4. There was great expectation from this card but due to my bad team placement, I lost it in initial time of battle. Mostly people like to have this Epic monster. I am also great admirer of this monster. I rented level 4 card from the monster market to use it's speed and attack.

DID MY STRATEGY WORKED WELL? WILL YOU TRY DIFFERENTLY IN NEXT TIME?

To a large extent, my strategy and plan worked well, but somewhere I have made a big mistake in card placing. I definitely lost some important monsters early on. Due to Thorns ability, it was not much problem to win the battle, but if there was any other Summnoer instead of Mylore Crowling, I would have definitely lost the battle. I should have placed the Flame Golem in the last position as a higher mana card or Heal Tank. One of my guesses was quite accurate that the opposition team would come up with a Melee attack and the same thing happened. My opponent placed team with 5 melee attack monsters. Definitely next time I will take care not to make such mistake. Everything else happened just the way I wanted it to happen. Finally I was satisfied to win the battle. No doubt the role of Wood Nymph and Lord Arianthus was tremendous for this battle.. Of course I will go for some change in next battle during Melee Mythem.

DO YOU USE WOOD NYMPH OFTEN? WHY OR WHY NOT?

No doubt Wood Nymph one of the most useful low Mana card from Earth splinter, yet I do not use this monster often. Whenever I get below 20 Mana ruleset, then I choose Mylore Crowling as my Summoner along with Flesh Golem, screeching vulture and Wood Nymph in majority. You can say that I use this monster during low mana battle ruleset. Rest of the time I try to find it other alternative that can provide more attack ability. In little League and poison rule this monster becomes more effective.
