Share Your Battle: Gargoya Scrapper

Prelude
Hello everybody, it's time again for Share Your Battle. Today we share about Garoya Scrapper. One of the cards that I frequently use, I am glad to share on how I use it.

Thoughts on Gargoya Scrapper

Gargoya Scrapper definitely takes image of an actual Gargoyle.
A gargoyle is grotesque with a spout designed to divert water from roof of structures to prevent water from flowing down beams and wall and preventing them from being eroded.

Let's examine the base stats of Lvl 1 Gargoya Scrapper.

Mana	Attack	Health	Speed	Armour	Ability
1	1 (Melee)	2	2	0	NA

Bronze League - Void
Silver League - Speed + 1,
Gold League - Attack + 1, Speed -1
Beyond Gold - Health + 1, Speed + 1

This card is part of my favourite life splinter low mana lineup and have did me well in many occasions. Without further a do, let's go right to the battle.

Opponent Lineup

• Summoner - Thaddius Brood
• Position 1 - Bone Golem
• Position 2 - Shadow Snitch
• Position 3 - Death Elemental
• Position 4 - Silent Sha-vi

Prediction before pressing rumble
Key problem will be Silent Sha-vi, as long as it is taken out quick, should not be a difficult match.

Let's get ready to rumble
Round 1, Good clearance on round 1. Silent Sha-vi, death elemental both taken out by my sneakers. Gargoya Scrapper took 2 blows and fallen in grace.

Round 2/3, Sneakers at work, everything else on opponent end taken down. Victory secured.

After Thoughts
Gargoya Scrapper function as a team together with Lorna and Silvershield Knight as core to form a formidable low mana life splinter sneak setup.

In order for this to work, the protection is needed for Silvershield Knight so as to ensure the 1 melee damage sneakers can deal sufficient damage to the backline.

In a low mana setup, Gargoya Scrapper proved to be a great frontline tank and when it levels up, it gains void which help hold on the frontline against Magic attacks if we have Crystal Werewolf in the lineup.

Not to forget when buffed by Silvershield Knight, Gargoya Scrapper can also inflict a 2 damage melee to opponent as well especially with Lorna's divine shield upon it.

All in all, this strategy with placement of Gargoya Scrapper in the front line in my Lorna low mana sneak lineup has always done me proud. Unless in higher mana case, we will replace Gargoya Scrapper with Chaos Knight which has an even tankier capability, else Gargoya Scrapper is always ready to hop in to form this lineup.
