This isn't necessarily about my noob account story: dust to diamond, but I wanted to talk a bit about how to counter the new life splinter meta that the bots use.
they use the Shield bearer, Scavo Hireling, Venari Crystal Smith Combo and sometimes has the Pelacor Arbalest. It's a very nasty combo if you're having to play earth splinter. So here's the main counter I use. And I only have 3 of the cards in the below battle and I still get a good amount of rshares.

all magic with maybe an Ooze or other cards sprinkled in. I use the magic to shred the Shield bearer's defenses with magic, and the taunt from Mycellic Slipspawn prevents the Life Splinter from chewing my backline while the rest of my splinter is trying to kill the Shield Bearer.
And that's it. Of course there maybe other counters especially from other splinters, but this has worked out rather well for me. Enjoy the tip and happy bot hunting (like Jawas, scrap the bots)
