😊Hello There!
Another splinter-week, another weekly battle with the theme card ⏱TIME MAGE⏱. If you wish to participate, simply go to 👉SHARE YOUR BATTLE Weekly Challenge! TIME MAGE.

THEME CARD INFORMATION: ⏱TIME MAGE***⏱
EDITION	CHAOS
RARITY	RARE
ELEMENT	LIFE
LEVEL	2
MANA COST	4 POINT
ATTACK	MAGIC
ABILITIES	SLOW

⏱TIME MAGE⏱ has the SLOW ability from level 1 to level 4, with a speed of 5 at level 2. In higher leagues like the silver league, she gains the Rust ability, which reduces the opponent's shield by 2-points, and at level 8, she has three points of magic damage and 4-health. ⏱TIME MAGE⏱ has a decent mana cap of 4, which is great be it in high or low mana battles.

Knowing that ⏱TIME MAGE⏱ is a magic attack monster, it is therefore obviously not a tank or a front-line card. With her "Slow" ability, it's best to protect her to make her harder to attack and to capitalize on the speed point she deprives our enemies. Speed is an important factor in such battles and determines the winner and the defeated.

⚔️ THE BATTLE ⚔️

RULE SET
STANDARD	NO MODIFICATION TO THE STANDARD GAMEPLAY RULES AND MECHANICS
MANA CAPACITY	28
AVAILABLE ELEMENT	ALL

This was a decent 28 mana cost battle, I used the Legendary CHANSEUS THE GREAT as my summoner that gave the Restore, Heal and Resurrect ability to my monsters each round. It was a standard game having no changes to the ruleset and every type of splinter was allowed in the battle.

⚔️ TEAM LINE-UP ⚔️

BUFF	SUMMONER	ELEMENT
+1 Restore, +1 Heal and +1 Resurrect		Life

STRATEGY:

😆80% the time, I lose battles when I use the life element, but that's no longer the case because I've discovered a new obsession. CHANSEUS THE GREAT has officially become my favorite summoner of the life element. CHANSEUS THE GREAT at each round restores damaged armor of it's friendly monster, Heals all friendly monsters each round and also resurrect a friendly monster each round, How cool is that?!😍
In my opinion, there is no better life summoner than this badass here, but I don't own him because he's fairly pricey, so I rented.

POSITION	CARD	ABILITY
Front-line		Fly, Recharge, Heal, and Redeem

STRATEGY:

I don't like taking chances in battle by underestimating my enemy, therefore I set my best front line on this one. You're going to enjoy it. URIEL THE PURIFIER is an 11-mana point card with 4-melee attacks, 3-speed points, a shield, and 12-health. The URIEL THE PURIFIER possesses incredible ability, including the ability to fly, recharge, heal, and redeem itself.

POSITION	CARD	ABILITY
Second-line		Slow

STRATEGY:

Then next comes the Card of the moment, TIME MAGE, a 4 mana cost brilliant monster that comes in handy in this battle to reduce speed of enemy monsters, as well as having magic damage that ignores the enemies' shield.

POSITION	CARD	ABILITY
Third-line		Flying

STRATEGY:

Next came PELACOR CONJURER. I'm not really a big fan of this card, but i thought it will make an interesting monster mate for Uriel in first position giving it has the Flying ability too.

POSITION	CARD	ABILITY
Fourth-line		Void

STRATEGY:

On my fourth position, GARGOYA SCRAPPER, another not so favourite card, but the mana cost of 1 is low and a good fill. It's void ability protects him from magic attack.

POSITION	CARD	ABILITY
Fifth-line		Sneak

STRATEGY:

For it's sneak ability, I placed STITCH LEECH in fifth. A common card that often can be overlooked, but it it's extremely useful, like it's a leech and therefore causes great damage to the enemies' back-line.

As you can see from my lineup, I attempted to provide a balance of damage and tank for the best possible battle outcome. Let us now enter the battleground without further ado.

✅A Successful battle in which I engaged the ⏱TIME MAGE⏱, This time with the Dragon Element and I enjoyed this Battle too👇

DO I LIKE THIS MONSTER AND WHAT I WOULD'VE DONE DIFFERENTLY?
I think I do like ⏱TIME MAGE⏱ especially teamed up with monsters like URIEL THE PURIFIER. It's a good card to be honest and maybe i would place her in fifth and sixth positions, let's see if she is enemies target..
The battle was truly exciting to watch and I will keep seeking more ways to engage the ⏱TIME MAGE⏱ Monster and also upgrade it to level 5-10 for the extra Rust ability.

DID MY STRATEGY WORK?
Yes, my strategy worked very well. It was a good lineup and strategy for mid-range mana battles and even Max-ranged such as this one⚔️

⏱TIME MAGE⏱ is no doubt a card that manipulates time. The slow ability of the life deck is unmatched. A cheap card with a decent chance of winning, especially in medium to high mana battles where it can be surrounded by the life deck's greatest cards. As you can see in the attached battles, it's even more powerful when combined with excellent summoners like BYZANTINE KITTY and CHANSEUS THE GREAT.

😊That will be all about my weekly battle with ⏱TIME MAGE⏱ as the themed card.
