The Stone Golem is a versatile card, an Old Guard Alpha rare card, from the Earth Splinter. It will cost you only 5 Mana, and offering at max level 3 Melee Damage, 3 Armor and 8 Health, but the Speed is quite low, only 2. You have Shield at Level 1, reducing the Melee and Ranged Damage, and Stun at level 5, making it a good tank for battles with less than 18 Mana Cap. Still, for only one more Mana, the Flesh Golem is superior, with more Health and Heal. I see no utility for it, except maybe on Raise of Commons Ruleset. A max level one - 8, will cost you almost $500. There are definitely better alternatives out there.
So, for the challenge, this were the starting conditions:
Mana Limit: 14
Rulesets: Earthquake - 2 Damage every end of the round and Enrage, damaged melee unit do extra damage.
Teams:
Mine - Summoner: Mylor (Thorns ability - return Melee damage), Stone Golem as main tank, Failed Summoner as back up with Magic Reflect, no use this time, Goblin Thief with Sneak targeting last card, Furious Chicken as fodder for an eventual Sneak.
Opponent - Summoner: Lyana (+1 Health boost), Flesh Golem main tank with heal, Furious Chicken as fodder, Creeping Ooze to Slow enemy team and Wood Nymph healing main tank.
This was a game that shows exactly why the Flesh Golem is superior to the Stone Golem, as I lost even if I cleared all the army on the back and I had 3 monster cards left. Even taking damage from Earthquake and Thorns, I still couldn't kill his main tank. How was the game? I did not realize the difference that enrage will add to the result of the battle. I managed to kill the Nymph, stopping the extra Heal, but I lost my main tank. Then his Ooze and his Chicken was taken out, only for me to lose all three remaining ones to a lucky combination of heal, miss and enrage.
Star of the game - Sadly, my opponent main tank deserves this title.
On the 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 a great work curating the best posts on the forum. Next, I am slowly building some SPT power to manually curate on Splinterlalk.io also. But for the next 30 days I am exchanging the SPT rewarded daily for vouchers.
All the best,
George
