First attempt at the Soul Strangler share your battle challenge, its a pretty decent card that I like to use in lower mana battles since it does have a pretty high attack value for its low cost.

Battle rules



SymbolRule Effect
Monsters with the lowest Speed attack first and have the highest chance of evading attacks.
Melee attack Monsters can attack from any position.


Total Mana : 30
Usable elements : Fire, Water, Life, Death and Dragon

Reverse speed with melee mayhem, there is an high chance they might go with a melee based team and fire is pretty good with these ruleset.


Team Composition

CardRoleReason
SummonerThaddius brood with its -1 to magic and heath its a pretty great summoner to use, making your oppenent have less hp is always nice.
Main tank, Immunity, Shield, DemoralizeHarklaw at level 3 it has demoralize which when combined with its shield is extremely good, works well in this ruleset as well since its going to be placed in the first position
DemoralizeDisintegrator with its Demoralize, since its possible to stack Demoralize it possible to reduce the opponent melee damage to 1 point which would be negated by the shield ability
Magic Damage, KnockoutRevealer with its knockout which is quite good at a 50% chance to make the unit skip its turn, it luck is on my side it will continuously trigger making the opponent unit unable to act
Range Damage, Star of the challengeSoul Strangler just in case they think like me and reduce my melee damage to a low number, having a strong range damage is not bad
Sneak, PoisonUraeus with the sneak and poison ability its always nice to have, the poison ability is very strong after all.
Sneak shield, FlyingCarrion Shade with its flying its the prefect sneak shield and with the ruleset it is still able to attack from this position

Now on to the Battle

Round 1

Aww their summoner's abilities ruined the Carrion Shade sneak shield role since it gives the entire team true strike making them always hit the target making the dodge chance 0%.

They did go with a melee focus team which is heavily crippled by the double demoralize stacks which made all their units deal only 1 damage sadly the units have sneak which allowed them to target my backline.

Round 2 & 3

My units do miss their flying tank and its quite annoying since it has tank heal and is being healed by the summoner however their back line is not as lucky getting taken out slowly.

Round 4 to The End

My luck with the stuns was not that good since it only managed to stun their tank every now and then and soul strangler luck on hitting the flying target is pretty bad else that Uriel would have been taken out long ago.

Still with the double demoralize it works wonders keeping my team alive for the most part of this battle.

Strategy Talk

The strategy was mainly around harklaw with its shield and double demoralize stacks reducing the opponent's melee damage if their uriel had is full damage and their sneak units had more damage the battle might have gone differently, since when compared to their back line mine had a lower set of hp.

Soul Strangler is a decent card to use in low mana battle since it does have a quite good amount of damage for its cost, however its hp is quite low so it might be taken out early.

Good ruleset to use in:

RulesetExplanation
Close RangeRemoves its weakness of not being able to attack when in the front
Odd Ones OutSince its an odd can it works in this ruleset
Back to basicdoes not have any ability so its not affected
Explosive WeaponryDouble edged sword since it allows it to hit for more damage at the same time its quite weak so it might just die to the blast damage
Armored UpAnother Double edged sword since it protects it yet hinder it at the same time.

Great breakdown of your reason to choose the Soul Strangler.
I myself are on the way of constructing an article for the Battle of the Week challenge and got inspired by your version.

Thank you for sharing. !PIZZA
