Battle Sharing: Do Not Underestimate The Goodness of Scavenger and Corrupted Healing

Prelude
Good day to all, how are you doing this lovely weekend and it is time for another battle sharing where I go up against tough cards, tough matches or share how certain abilities give strong advantage to win. Today I have another interesting match to share where we take a look at Scavenger ability which really surprised me in the matchup.

Scavenger

This is an ability that give +1 health and max health each time any unit is defeated. This applies to both sides, so whenever there are matchup where there is some form of auto damage such as Noxious Fumes or Earthquake, this ability will benefit the most and feed from all the fallen cards to strengthen itself.

And in today's matchup, I am also pairing it up with Corrupted healing that takes away one max health upon healing. And the scavenge will gain back 1 max health for each max health reduced from the healing.

And let's go right into today's battle sharing.

Selection Analysis
In today's matchup, there were 3 splinter choices available to us for this match, namely death, earth and dragon. With this being a noxious fumes match, I know I will need some healing to sustain me through and at the same time, find something with immunity. And so the decision was on death splinter.

To lead the lineup it will be foundation death splinter archon, Thalgrimore. A simple ability for this card which gives opponent lineup -1 health, "increasing chances of killing them with the poison that will chip off health every round. For my tank, I went with Ujurak Brave which has two purpose here, one is to silence which reduces opponent's magic attack by 1 and also stand firm with immunity to withstand the poison. In the 2nd position, I have Pallus which have decent health and also decent attack, so it will be able to do some good damage. Next in the lineup is Helheim Demon that will taunt all backline attacks from my opponent towards itself to allow the other cards to get damage so quickly. Following it will the Arachne Weaver which is the key card for this battle with corrupted healing and scavenger to pick up scraps from the fallen from noxious fumes. Last but not least, it will be Dark Arborist with the demoralize to deter opponent melee cards and also magic reflect to deflect some magic damage back to where it came from.

Opponent used elf bloodline earth splinter archon Kaylia Silverleaf which can do execute and also reduces the magic attack from my side by 1. In terms of tank, it is Decrepit Windseer which is meant as a sacrifice to boost up the stats of elves with the bloodline tribute. Next in the lineup is Halfing Refugee which I guess serves as a meat shield before accessing the rest of the lineup. Blackmoor Wild Elf is the next card which has camouflage and strikes for 2 magic damage. Following it is the ever opportunistic Thanalorian Blade that is a really good card with opportunity and decent stats. The next card will be Sorrow Harvester which reduces health of my lineup by 1. And the final card is Silverleaf Mage which has taunt and strikes real hard with 3 range attack.

Not looking too good on my end especially with the pesky elves that potentially will give me quite a bit of problems with the execute skill. But will they prevail? Let's find out from the round by round synopsis.

Round by Round Synopsis

Round 1 - A round that saw loads of miss strikes but somehow Decrepit Windseer successfully fell and triggered bloodline tribute which saw Silverleaf Mage attack going to 4 which is really dangerous.

Round 2 - With every noxious fumes match, the board somehow clears much faster and with crazy smashing from my opponent, Helheim Demon couldn't hold and fell. But we took Halfling Refugee and Blackmoor Wild Elf with us. Arachne Weaver growing with each fallen card.

Round 3 - Both Silverleaf Mage and Sorrow Harvester was consumed by poison and fell before the round properly start. And with just one Thanalorian Blade, it was easy to dipose it and claim the victory.

Battle Summary
Fast and furious, the nature of noxious fumes match. And so was this match. While opponent had loads of crazy stuff pushing through and with the execute, my lineup still manage to outlast and sustain through. Reason is that there is corrupted healing and that the scavenger also ensured that Arachne Weaver will not fall low in health to be an easy target for opportunity card and manage to heal up my cards to outlast my opponent from the fumes of poison to nail the win.
