Introduction
When I saw that this week's challenge was Animated Corpse, I rushed to the rental market to secure a golden copy. I had already rented this card at level 4 and I remember that it is extremely useful for several reasons.
So, in this post I'm going to show you not just one or two battles, but three victories that I secured today thanks to Animated Corpse.
I emphasize that these were not my only victories today with this card, I was in doubt between five different matches, which in itself says a lot about the diversity of situations that Animated Corpse is useful for.
So I divide this post into three parts, each referring to one of the battles. In all of them I expected to find a team with a predominance of magic damage, so I chose to play the Animated Corpse allied with Owster Rotwell, creating a Void + Magic Reflect combo.
First battle
In this match the ruleset didn't allow ranged damage cards, so the probability of my opponent, @acejannnn, using magic was high. That's why I chose this team. I hoped the Animated Corpse, backed by the extra health given by Shadowy Presence, would hold up enough for my two magical monsters (Cthulhu and Ancient Lich) to decimate the enemy team.
It would have been an easy victory if my opponent hadn't played the summoner Mimosa Nightshade, which greatly decreased my summoner's magic reflect power. But even so Animated Corpse's Void played a crucial role in the match, as it allowed the monster to stay alive throughout the first turn and part of the second.
After repeated exchanges of magic attacks, we narrowly won, leaving only 1 life on my last damage-dealing monster. If I had placed in the first position any other card that didn't hold as much magic damage, it would be a sure defeat.
Second battle
Again, this game's rule benefited monsters dealing magic damage, as they could crash under armor. Also, only 14 mana points were available. I find Animated Corpse extremely powerful in these situations.
In the back line, I put Shadowy Presence again alongside Venari Bonesmith, Undead Priest and a chicken. The idea was similar to the first battle: reflect as much magic damage as possible and buy time. My opponent, @master-syrel, summoned what I wanted most and made this match very predictable. Animated Corpse combined with Magic Reflect quickly eliminated all magic damage dealers and wiped out the enemy's chances.
Third battle
In this battle, the situation was quite different from the previous ones. I didn't know what my opponent, @kingofkakashi, would play, but one of the rules was Little League, which greatly favored the choice of putting Animated Corpse on, as characters of four mana or less usually don't have much life.
The decision to place the Animated Corpse in second place proved to be the right one, as the Giant Scorpion's Thorns allowed the first two enemy monsters to be eliminated quickly. Even with the low amount of magic attack on the enemy team, Animated Corpse's seven hit points were enough for Venari Bonesmith and Undead Priest to stay safe throughout the battle, dealing consistent damage that allowed a disputed victory.
Introdução
Quando eu vi que o desafio dessa semana era o Animated Corpse, fui correndo para o mercado de aluguéis para garantir uma cópia dourada. Já tinha alugado essa carta no nível 4 e me lembro que ela é extremamente útil, por diversos motivos.
Por isso, neste post vou mostrar não apenas uma ou duas batalhas, mas três vitórias que garanti hoje graças ao Animated Corpse.
Destaco que essas não foram as minhas únicas vitórias de hoje com essa carta, eu estava em dúvida entre cinco diferentes partidas, o que por si só já diz bastante sobre a diversidade de situações que Animated Corpse é útil.
Divido então este post em três partes, cada uma referente a uma das batalhas. Em todas elas eu esperava encontrar um time com predominância de dano mágico, por isso escolhi jogar o Animated Corpse aliado com Owster Rotwell, criando um combo de Void + Magic Reflect.
Primeira batalha
Nessa partida a regra não permitia cartas de dano ranged, então a probabilidade do meu oponente, @acejannnn, utilizar magia era grande. Por isso optei por esse time. Eu esperava que o Animated Corpse, apoiado pela vida extra dada por Shadowy Presence, aguentasse o suficiente para meus dois monstros mágicos (Cthulhu e Ancient Lich) dizimassem o time inimigo.
Teria sido uma vitória fácil se meu oponente não tivesse jogado a summoner Mimosa Nightshade, o que diminuiria muito o poder de Magic Reflect do meu summoner. Mesmo assim, o Void do Animated Corpse teve um papel crucial na partida, pois permitiu que o monstro permanecesse vivo durante todo o primeiro turno e parte do segundo.
Depois de repetidas trocas de ataques mágicos, ganhamos por pouco, sobrando apenas 1 vida no meu último monstro causador de danos. Se eu tivesse colocado na primeira posição qualquer outra carta que não aguentasse tanto dano mágico, seria uma derrota certa.
Segunda Batalha
Mais uma vez, a regra dessa partida beneficiava os monstros que causam dano mágico, pois eles podem atacar por baixo da armadura. Além disso, apenas 14 pontos de mana estavam disponíveis. Acho o Animated Corpse extremamente poderoso nessas situações.
Na linha de trás, coloquei novamente a Shadowy Presence ao lado de Venari Bonesmith, Undead Priest e uma galinha. A ideia era semelhante à primeira batalha: refletir o máximo de dano mágico possível e ganhar tempo. Meu oponente, @master-syrel, invocou aquilo que eu mais queria e tornou essa partida bastante previsível. O Animated Corpse combinado com o Magic Reflect rapidamente eliminou todos os causadores de dano mágico e acabou com as chances do inimigo.
Terceira Batalha
Nessa batalha, a situação era bem diferente das anteriores. Eu não sabia o que meu oponente, @kingofkakashi, jogaria, mas uma das regras era a Little League, que favorecia bastante a escolha de colocar o Animated Corpse, já que personagens de quatro de mana ou menos normalmente não têm muita vida.
A decisão de colocar o Animated Corpse em segundo lugar se mostrou acertada, já que os Thorns do Giant Scorpion permitiram que os dois primeiros monstros inimigos fossem eliminados rapidamente. Mesmo com a baixa quantidade de ataque mágico no time inimigo, os sete pontos de vida de Animated Corpse foram suficientes para que Venari Bonesmith e Undead Priest ficassem seguros durante toda a batalha, causando dano consistente que permitiu uma vitória disputada.
