My Team
 |  | |  |  |  |  |
Conveniently rent or buy this team with my Peakmonster's Decks Lineup Link.
For this battle, we have the Equalizer rule set makes the health of all monsters the same to the monster with the highest health. We also have Tis But Scratches which give all monsters the Cripple ability and Briar Patch that gives all monsters the Thorns ability. Given this conditions, I choose the following line- up:
Summoner: I used Quix the Devious to reduce the range and speed of the opponent since the opponent can either go with only range and magic and so that I can use dragon splinters.
1st Position: I used Void Dragon for my tank since it was very fast with both Flying and Phase that allows this card to evade melee, range and magic damage and even if it get hit by magic damage, it has void which will reduce the damage by half.
2nd Position: I placed the Scavo Chemist to further reduce the speed and range of the opponent with Slow and headwinds. It also has Cleanse which will remove any negative status effects that the opponent has inflicted with my tank splinter.
33d Position: I used Spirit Hoarder for it has Blind which will increase the miss chance of the opponent by 15% and remove any positive status effect on the target monster. It also got the Triage ability which restores the health of backline monsters that receives damages.
4th Position: I placed the Xenith Archer to fill the missing slot with the remaining mana that I have but also since it has decent speed and damage.
5th Position: I usedSupply Runner with Swiftness that will increase the speed of all ally monsters and Strengthen to also increase all their health.
6th Position: I placed Naga Assain for another Swiftness so that my team will get to be faster.
Battle Phase
Round 1:
Out of all the attacks that would miss from my team, it was the magic attack from Void Dragon that misses but aside from that all the attacks from the rest of my team connects and that causes from Chaos Agent to only have 1 health left at the end of round 1.
Half of the opponent attacks had miss except from the attack from Lava Spider that targeted Scavo Chemist with Blast damage hitting Void Dragon and Spirit Hoarder. The ather one was from the opponents Spirit Hoarder which does not inflict damage to Void Dragon due to Void but it damages Scavo Chemist.
Void Dragon also got Snared by Lava Spider.
Round 2:
Scavo Chemist removes the Snare from Void Dragon.
Supply Runner has defeated Chaos Agent.
Spirit Hoarder restores the health of Scavo Chemist.
The attack from Scavo Firebolt connects ad together with the attack from Lava Spider, Void Dragon and Scavo Chemist losses 3 health each while my Spirit Hoarder loses 1.
Void Dragon also got Snare again by Lava Spider.
Round 3:
Scavo Chemist removes the Snare from Void Dragon.
Supply Runner has defeated Scavo Chemist.
Spirit Hoarder restores the health of Scavo Chemist.
all the opponents attack have misses except for Scavo Firebolt which causes Void Dragon to only have 3 health and Scavo Chemist to have 7 health.
Round 4:
Xenith Archer defeated the opponent's Spirit Hoarder, removing the Blind status from my team.
Spirit Hoarder healed itself.
All the attacks of the opponent missed so I don't sustain damage for this round.
Round 5:
Since Lava Spider can't attack at 1st position, it was easily defeated by my team with Chaos Dragon dealing the final blow.
Spirit Hoarder restores the health of Scavo Hireling.
All the attacks of the opponent missed so I don't sustain damage for this round.
Round 6:
Due to Scavenger, Doctor Blight has increased its health so although all my monster have hit it, it still got one health that's left.
All the attacks of the opponent missed so I don't sustain damage for this round.
Round 7 and 8:
At the start of round 7, Naga Assassin has defeated Doctor Blight which makes Scavo Firebolt unable to attack since it was a range monster and although, it survived round 7, it only has 1 health so right at the start of round 8, it got defeated.
Battle Recap
Here is a replay of the battle which at you can watch at 3speak or in Splinterlands.
Did your Strategy Work?
My strategy this time was focused on having as many misses from the opponent as much as possible using the Phase and Flying from Void Dragon with the added miss chance by Spirit Hoarder its Triage will restore the health of the backline monsters that got hit by the Blast damage which has worked really well Starting with round 3 of the battle and none of my monsters were defeated on this battle.
Do You Like Spirit Hoarder?
As Spirit Hoarder was a neutral magic splinter, it can be used on every elements and do exceptionally good when partnered with a monster wit Taunt ability which makes it a very desirable and a must have neutral monster.
What will you try differently next time?
Summoners
 |  |  |  |  |
As Spirit Hoarder was a neutral element magic splinter, there were lots of summoners that it can get a magic boost and this were **Alric Stormbringer and Valnamor from water element, Obsidian from earth element and Delwyn Dragonscale and Archmage Arius from the dragon element.
