Splinterlands Social Media Challenge!
Time Mages are members of the Order of the Silver Shield and close associates of the Wizards' Council. They are trusted to peer through the fabric of time and reality to foretell the future or manipulate the present by slowing the flow of time. They can also speed up the aging process of armor, causing it to rust prematurely. However, with such power also comes great risk. The future is ever-changing, and the ripples of time can affect everyone. Time Mages must undergo strict training to ensure they don't abuse their power and use it only for the most dire of circumstances

My Line Up Explanation
- leagues = Silver 3
- Explosive weaponry = All monsters has the blast ability (The best strategy is to have fast monsters with Snipe, Sneak, Opportunity. For defense, Shield and Void will come in handy)
- Noxious Fumes = All monsters start the battle poisoned (Higher HP and cleanse are the best choise. However there may be some cases where you go for a big offensive attack and wipe out your opponent before the poison becomes a factor.)
- 32 mana = this was high mana, so I will definately use full 6 monsters
- summoner = Earth and water splinter can't be used
The summoner that I used in this battles was Delwynn DragonScale. It is a common dragon summoner from the promo edition, currently it is not playable freely in the game but you can use him by renting this card . Delwyn give +1 to all ally magic monsters, So I'm gonna pick magic based monsters to fully use the effect of Delwyn in this battle but his level though can be useful to summon higher level monsters. I have some cards that already level up to certain level so using delwyn it not that bad in this case and remember that he is a gold foil card, you will earn dec bonus by using this card.
In the high mana cap we will use the best tank for our line up cause we so much mana to use, But in this case I would rather go with low health tank but not to easy to hit, I put pelacor conjurer in this position, I believe this card could evade some of enemy's monsters attacks, in ecplosive weaponry ruleset evading an attack is very important that will reduce damage coming from the blast ability. Pelacor deceiver has flying ability with 4 speed but only 5 health, I rely much on this card to be temporary tank.
In Noxious fumes ruleset sometimes Higher HP and cleanse are the best choise. However there may be some cases where you go for a big offensive attack and wipe out your opponent before the poison becomes a factor. I think magic monsters is the best type in delivering big offensive attack, so I put this gold dragon as my third monsters, it will deliver 3 magic attacks while this card has 8 health it will survive a bit long before the poison could kill it, I this card is quite fast so it could possibly evade some attacks.
Djinn renova will complete my big offensive attacks to enemy's line-up, this card require 7 mana to summon with 6 health and strengthen ability that makes all ally monsters gained 1 additional health. this cards attacks is 2 and with the effect of delwyn this card will give 3 toatal magic damage to enemy's monsters, let's say the enemy will choose fire deck (because cleanse monsters is there) djinn renova and gold dragon attacks could already kill the enemy tanks who had 12 health or lower in 2 rounds.
Another monsters to fill my big offensive strategy in this battle is time mage, this card is freely used in current game, but it gives only 1 magic attacks, the time mage that I used in this battles was already at level 3 and the attack stats was +2 magic attack, the speed of this card is very high not to mention his slow ability will obviously annoying my enemy strategy, with this debuff my enemy's monsters will be more likely to miss my pelacor conjurer who had 4 speed with flying ability.
My next monsters to use in this battle was Creeping ooze this card require 1 mana only to summon but this card had important role in different situations, I used this monsters a lot that's why I bought myself one bcx, this card is quite annoying to the enemy the slow effect will worsened my enemy's speed stats, after getting slow debuff from my time mage and plus creeping ooze, it is obviously a frustating battle from my enemy point of view LMAO, and this is so much fun to watch lol, there will be lots of misses.
last but not the least is Magi of chaos, this chaos legion card is a normal splinter that has 2 magic attacks, this card is my fourth monster with +2 magic attacks in this battle, now my enemy will face serious big attacks. This card has 5 health, with this health this card will survive from poison damage. I put this card in the last position to take some sneak damage come from enemy's monsters, I love to use this card in different situations, I bought this card, I think this card is very potential to have.
Did My Strategy Worked? What will I do Differently?
This strategy works with no flaws in it, the enemy did not aware that I could use magic monsters instead in this battle, and I could notice that the enemy probably will choose fire splinter. The time mage is also super annoying with the help of creepin ooze succesful makin all of the enmy's speed reduce to 1. My enemy had no chance to win.
About Time Mage
What I like about this monster :
- has slow ability, in life splinter this card effect is useful, the current playable monsters in life had low speed so this ability will come in handy;
- 4 mana to summon. this is quite low mana requirement it means that this cad could be used in both high and low mana cap, in high mana cap this card is still a good bargain I think, his slow ability will cover his health stats
- High speed stats, this card speed stats is quite high in level 1, in bronze and silver leagues I often see this card as a second tank.
What i don't like about this monster:
- Low health stats, well mostly life splinter has low health, we cant really rely on this monsters to be a tank, so wise thing is putting this card behind.
When to use Time Mage
I suggest you to use this monster only for this situation:
- When you need a debuffer monsters especially slow ablity, this ability will make enemy's monsters attack often miss your tank;
- On low mana cap battle. when in low mana cap battle we need to use the most effective card, in life splinter this cards is a good bargain to use.
When to Avoid using Time Mage :
I don't recommend you to use this monster for this situation below:
- On reverse ruleset battle, this battle allows the lowest speed monsters can attack early and harder to be hitted, this card has slow ability, her ability could be a buff to the enemy's monsters
