I'm not a killer, I'm a drug dealer, your main healer! (a Goblin Psychic battle challenge)

What is Splinterlands?

Splinterlands is a card game, similar to Hearthstone, where you can play battle against other players to get a better rank or in tournaments. It is an NFT game based on Hive Blockchain, with multiple ways to capitalize and make money, real money, by playing it or trading in it.

The Goblin Psychic is a Common Earth Unit that is essential to any team costing more than 20 Mana. At level 1 got tank heal, at level 4 get Affliction skill, stopping the opponent tank to heal, at level 7 is getting a very important skill, Silence, reducing all Magic attacks by 1, and at max level 10 gains Dispel, clearing all the positive effects when hitting. The higher the rank, the bigger the chance that you can win thanks to this card only, especially against magic damage teams. It is too expensive, if you are lucky you may buy a max level with 100-120$. Combined with the Sea Serpent as the tank with self-heal, these two cards can stand by themselves against an army with no Sneak or Snipe, so it is ideal for rulesets that silence the summoners, for example.

So, for the challenge, this were the starting conditions:

Mana Limit: 29

Rulesets: Spreading Fury (All monsters got Enrage) and Stampede (Trample skill can trigger multiple times)

Teams:

Mine - Summoner: Obsidian (boosting Magic by 1), with Flesh Golem as the main tank with self-healing, Failed Summoner to absorb some damage and reflect magic back to the enemy (useless this match), if the opponent got Blast, then Wood Nymph and Goblin Psychic as healers (and Affliction plus Silence to stop healing and reduce Magic damage- useless too this match), a Spirit Hoarder in case of Snipe with Dispel, Blind and Triage, reducing the chances to be hit, and hidden in the darkness, Doctor Blight poisoning them one by one.

Opponent - Summoner: Thaddius (decreasing Magic damage and Health by 1), with Cursed Windeku as the main tank, returning melee damage with the Thorns skill, backed up by a Legendary Harkclaw reducing melee and ranged damage with Shield and Immunity to negative effects, with another Legendary Cthulhu, level 2, with some scary skills - Crypple, reducing health, Stun and Flying, increasing avoidance for ranged and melee, and a Corpse Fiend to use the 1 Mana remaining and absorb one Snipe, I presume.

This was an interesting battle, lasting 6 rounds. He got lucky with Thaddius, decreasing my magic damage, maybe I am a bit predictable. But his whole team was oriented towards reduced melee and ranged damage, while most of my cards were using magic. Still, it was a long battle, and only my over-healing made me victorious. If he would have had a few more levels of upgrade or a healer, I don't know If I could do it again. My main tank life went crippled from 10 to 4 Health, but that was all, as the opponent cards were destroyed one by one, slowly, as my tank was continuosly healed.

Star of the game - Given that the tank got stunned a few times, he only withstood the attacks as it was supported by my two healers, Goblin Psychic and Wood Nymph.

On a side note, my continuous support for Splintertalk.io is going well, with my SPT tokens number raising to 1 million. All of it is delegated to @monster-curator, as this account is doing great work curating the best posts on the forum. I have finally reached the needed SPT power (100K at the moment) to manually curate on Splinterlalk.io. Also, working on acquiring 50K Oneup (800 UP now) next, inspired by the Cartel efforts. Fancy the idea of having 200K Level too, for their airdrop.

All the best,
George
