Let me tell you a story, said the Silvershield Bard... (Splinterlands weekly battle challenge)

On this week challenge we have a Rare Reward card from the Life Splinter with 1 Melee Attack, 3 Health at max level, Cleanse at level 1 (Removes all negative effects from main tank) and Swiftness at level 5 (Increases all your team members speed). This is a must have card, providing huge benefits for just 1 Mana cost. It is very useful on Poison ruleset, keeping the main tank alive, but please do not use it on Reverse Rulesets, when the extra speed will give your opponent the advantage. You can buy a level 5 Silvershield Bard with just 5-6$, and it is totally worth the investment. If you combine it with the Spirit Miner, you will have a very, very fast team.

So, for the challenge, this were the starting conditions: Mana Limit: 38 Rulesets: Heavy Hitters (All cards have Knock Out) Teams: Mine - Summoner: Tyrus (+1 Armor to all), Shieldbearer, Silvershield Bard, Silvershield Assasin, Tortisian Chief, Billa the Radiant, Lunakari Misstress Opponent - Summoner: Tyrus (+1 Armor to all), Warrior of Peace, Silvershield Knight, Sandworm, Silvershield Assasin, Ferral Spirit, Divine Healer https://youtu.be/tkGpn889lAw I used the Shieldbearer as main tank, supported by one healer (the Chief), and the Bard to use cleanse in the event of Poison. Silvershield Assasin to kill the back troups, and three magic users for damage, to bypass an eventual Armor Boost. The opponent went for a combined Melee boost, Snipe and Sneak attack. I was lucky to kill his healer early, as it was the last position, and then i had a bit of work with his Warrior of Peace suppressing my Assassin. I lost my tank, Bard and Lunakari Mistress to his assassin and Sandworm, but then Billa survived thanks to the life leech, and I managed to kill the rest of his team. He would have had a change if his healer was properly positioned and protected. On the side note, my continuous support for Splintertalk.io is going well, with my SPT tokens number raising a bit over half a million. 74% of my target reached and hopefully the 1 million will be done in few months.
