Let's talk about the card of the week... ANT MINERS (the tank no one knew we needed but got)
I honestly didn't think much of this card until I used it for this battle challange and now it is my go to for those low mana melee duels. He can absorb all the damage from those pesky Opportunity monsters such as Serpentine Spy who attack the monster with the lowest health!
Check out the battle where Ant Miners really stood out for me!

The Battle!
As you can see in that battle I had my front line tank Cerberus who absorbs a crazy amount of physical and ranged damage because he heals 2 HP per turn! Next up I had the one and only Ant Miners for its Scavager (which allows Ant Miners to Gain 1 max health each time any monster dies.) ability but that's about all I had him in the second position for but he worked out so much better than I had anticipated. He gained so much health quickly. In low mana battles most monsters have low hp so he is able to rack up those HP points quickly!Next up I just used my remaining mana to get any ranger to combo with my summoner Yodin. I had Goblin Fireballer and Fire Bettle which worked out well as they just blasted through the enemy team.
I would 100% use Ant Miners again in future battles as he can be such a low mana tank and absorb so much damage for the rangers at the back.
For those who have never played Splinterlands, please I implore you to give it a chance it is an amazingly addictive (in a good way) strategy card game and so much more! You can even earn yourself a little coin on the side ;)
