Disintegrator Challenge
The lore for this week's card is straight from the Frankenstein novel. A creature made from various bodyparts of different species, marked by previous attempts to bring it to life and finally awakened by some mysterious crystals the shady Chaos Agent dealer had in his coat. Let's check it out!
Stats
The man-slaughtering Disintegrator is not bound to any splinter and known for weakening the moral of its enemies. At level 1 this starter card gives access to the demoralize ability, and whilst not tanky enough to fit most frontlines, it gains trample, knockout and retaliate at higher levels, which makes it even more usefull for fighting off sneaky attacks in the backline.
Ruleset
Plenty of mana and almost all splinters playable, that's the basis for our game. Broken arrows calls for a heavy anti-melee or anti-magic comp, so it's a coinflip between Mylor and Owster.
Lineup
I even have the skin for this card, that's how much I love to play it...
Battle recap

Unfortunately my opponent had the same idea and managed to take out my Disintegrator and Mushroom Seer pretty fast with the help of equal opportunity. Due to the melee debuff it took some time to take out the enemy monsters and without Mylor it would have most likely been a different outcome. Also the magic spam did hurt a lot, but in the end the flying Nectar Queen managed to take out the annoying Regal Peryton and won the game.
This gives an idea on how strong the Disintegrator in combination with a shield can be.
Just for fun I also tried to use the card as a main tank in a low mana bronze match and was actually able to win:

It didn't even make use of its ability, so maybe the Disintegrator & Mylor combo might be a nice niche pick...
