Strategy
Stone golem is a cheap and strong tank from the base set, so everyone can use it. The shield ability is make him a very durable against all incoming Melee/Ranged damage. Only magic can counter him easily. So I decided to use him when Lost Magic ruleset is appeared.
Battle Rules
| Ruleset | Mana cap | Avaiable Splinters |
|---|---|---|
| Lost Magic | 24 | Earth, Life Death |
Lineup
| Summoner / Monster | Comment |
|---|---|
| Mylor Crowling | When no magic is allowed Mylor is one of the best summoner with the Thorn abillity. |
| Stone Golem | No magic so he become a very strong tank |
| Goblin Thief | Cheap and strong 4 mana Sneak monster. |
| Furious Chicken | A good shield for snipe/opportunity in this position. |
| Halfling Alchemist | A good card for decrease more the incoming attacks. |
| Javelin Thrower | She is a good dps with high speed for low mana. |
| Earth Elemental | Cheap and a very strong backline ranged attacker for only 3 mana, can survive a lot of sneak attack. |
Battle - Replay
Did your strategy work?
Absolutely! I successfully defated the strong enemy team with level 3 and 4 monsters only with level 1 cards. Stone Golem is keep alived for the whole time. Goblin Thief and Javelin Thrower mainly did the damages and the Chicken and the Alchemist did the support jobs.
After my matches I always check the Winning chances on splintertools.io. In this case I wins 82% of the time.
What will you try differently next time?
We always need to learn from our matches. In this case I not used all of my manas, what is a big mistake in most of the times. If I change Javelin Thrower to Gargoya Devil I could win 95% of the times! In Lost Magic ruleset the Devil has a better survivability because of his armor.
Do you like the Stone Golem? Why or why not?
Yes I like Stone Golem in case of the ruleset is Lost Magic. In other matches I prefer more Flash Golem or the bigger tanks.
