What Do Banshees Predict??? DEATH
Evening Splinterlands Fans
Time for the SHARE YOUR BATTLE Weekly Challenge.
I am a bit late this time due to a personal emergency. And a part of me wanted to skip, but then I thought I am not gonna miss the SCREAMING BANSHEE after all many people don't like using her for obvious reasons. Her weak health makes her quite vulnerable especially to Magic Reflect and opportunity attacks. So effectively using SCREAMING BANSHEE is the real challenge.
Till level-4 SCREAMING BANSHEE possesses magic attack of 2, so she can survive the Magic Reflect of 1(provided with the void from MIMOSA). Above level-4 the magic attacks increase to 3, making Magic Reflect impossible to counter.
I own level-4 SCREAMING BANSHEE and am contented with it since she serves as a nice low magic blast attack option with Mimosa.
Currently there are 1,830 normal foil and 77 gold foil Alpha SCREAMING BANSHEEs in circulation, costing 0.9$/BCX and 65$/BCX respectively. Also there are 2,569 normal and 120 gold foil Beta SCREAMING BANSHEEs circulating, pricing 0.70$/BCX and 19$/BCX respectively. The price difference between normal and gold foils for both alpha and beta versions is staggering. I envy the early game players who managed to get their hands on gold foil alpha versions of these kind of monsters.
Here is the all time price trend of Normal and Gold Foil Alpha and BetaSCREAMING BANSHEE, courtesy SPLINTX. Surprising to see the recent surge due to this battle challenge.
Favored Battle Rules
SCREAMING BANSHEE can be used in all battle rules. But it is best suited in Snipe and Equalizer battle rule sets.
Placement
SCREAMING BANSHEE needs to be placed in middle ranks well protected from Blast, Sneak and Snipe attacks.
How to Use
SCREAMING BANSHEE needs protection against Magic Reflect and Opportunity attacks.
Mimosa Nightshade's void ability can provides nice protection from Magic Reflect.
- Shield from summoner or protect ability monsters can provide protection to
SCREAMING BANSHEEfrom opportunity attacks.
- Taunt ability monsters can be used effectively to divert enemy attention from
SCREAMING BANSHEE.
Defense
SCREAMING BANSHEE can easily be killed by Magic Reflect, Blast and opportunity attacks.
MY BATTLE USING SCREAMING BANSHEE
This was a 36 mana battle with one battle rule, Knocked Out.
Battle Link
MY LINEUP
MIMOSA NIGHTSHADE
I went with MIMOSA, since I was anticipating heavy magic attack from the enemy. Mimosa's Void, -1 ranged attack and Affliction makes her one of the most dangerous summoners in the realm. 36 battle mana make using MIMOSA feasible.
LORD ARIANTHUS
Upfront I placed my favorite tank, LORD ARIANTHUS. Best tank with Shield, Magic Reflect, Void and Thorns abilities, costing just 5 mana.
CORRUPTED PEGASUS
On one down position, I my favorite death legendary, CORRUPTED PEGASUS. He is the only death monster with tank heal and also possesses the heavy Reach attack, making him a perfect one down monster.
FALLEN SPECTER
Next, came another legendary , FALLEN SPECTER. Costing just 2 mana, FALLEN SPECTER offers Flying, Demoralize, Headwinds and Blind ability. With MIMOSA in play, SPECTER can survive Magic Reflect too.
SCREAMING BANSHEE
Then came the star of our show, SCREAMING BANSHEE. Decent magic attack with Blast ability, cost just 3 mana, can any one ask for more.
DEATH ELEMENTAL
On the second last, I placed another low mana monster, DEATH ELEMENTAL. DEATH ELEMENTAL can keep enemy magic attack in check, thanks to the Silence ability.
DARK HA'ON
On the very last, I placed the Taunt ability legendary DARK HA'ON. Having heavy health and shield DARK HA'ON can deflect enemy attacks for long enough, providing rest of the team breathing space.
BATTLE ANALYSIS
The battle went as planned. Enemy came up with heavy magic attack, as anticipate. SCREAMING BANSHEE continued with its magic Blast attack nicely thanks to Void from MIMOSA and Taunt from DARK HA'ON. MIMOSA's Affliction was also a big factor responsible for the victory.
That will be all for today.
Take very good care of yourself and people close to you..
Until next time...

I love these detailed posts of yours! Screaming Banshee with Mimosa rocks. Also the Spectre is a great choice when you play Mimosa because he is not nuking himself in the first round through magic reflect.

Very cool to Banshee with Mimosa, because she is not easily destroyed by magic reflect! Great battle and excellent post!
