It's not a Frog Sage, just my Time Mage, coming from another age! (A Splinterlands battle challenge)

The Time Mage is a decent Rare Life Unit, costing only 4 Mana (Good for Little League Ruleset) with 3 Magic Damage, 5 Speed, and 4 Health at max level. However, the abilities are superb, giving you a real edge in the battle, especially if they are combined with the right summoner (think Quix decreasing another 1 Speed and 1 Health). At level 1 got Slow, decreasing the whole opponent's army Speed by 1, and at level 5 got Rust, decreasing Armor by 2. This last one alone can eliminate a summoner boost (if we think of Tyrus or Drake of Arnak +1 Armor).

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

Mana Limit: 26

Rulesets: Standard (no Ruleset applied)

Teams:

Mine - Summoner: Tyrus Paladium ( boosting his team with +1 Armor), with Shieldbearer as main tank, with Taunt and Shield (decrease Melee and Ranged attack by 1), Crystal Werewolf with Thorns (return Melee damage) and decreasing Magic by 1 with Silence, then Armorsmith with Repair Armor, to keep the tank alive a bit more, Silvershield Archer to clear the back of his army with Snipe and Double Strike, Time Mage slowing them down and decreasing armor by 2, and Doctor Blight in the shadows, using Camouflage, with Poison and Affliction, using Scavenger to get extra Health while attacking.

Opponent - Summoner: Quix the Devious (decreasing Ranged Attack and Speed by 1 for my team), with Djinn Chwalla as main tank returning damage with Thorns and using Enrage for extra damage, Twilight Basilisk attacking with Reach from the second position, with a very annoying Stun ability, Chaos Agent as fodder with extra Dodge and Phase, Uraeus with Sneak and Poison, Doctor Blight with Camouflage, Affliction, Poison and Scavenger , and Naga Assassin with Backfire (2 damage to the enemy missing the attack)

This was a interesting battle, and his main tank fell first, in the 3rd round, followed by his Chaos Agend and Basilisk, right before my Shieldbeared gave up too. Then all of them fought valiantly until the 6th round, when my Silvershield Archer died missing, from the Assassin's Backfire, but his last three, Uraeus, Doctor Blight and Naga were defeated also in the same round. Victory!

Star of the game - The Shieldbearer, absorbing some insane amount of damage until it was defeated.

All the best,
George
