Splinterlands is a complex game, and it allows for various cards and strategies. Each fight is different as there are various rulesets applied, and this can give specific cards an advantage depending on how you use them. In this post, I talk about a great battle where I won because I used Corsair Bosun.
Featured cards
Corsair Bosun is a life splinter that costs 10 mana. This splinter starts with the reach and deflect ability. Leveling up this card gives it cleanse at level 5. It's a very powerful backup tank with decent attack and stats.
Rule Set, Battle, and Plan
The rulesets this time are Outsider. This means that one wild unit can be used. There is also 36 mana available, and I can use fire, life, or dragon splinter.
| Splinter | Mana Cost | Position | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Avina of the Wolf | 5 | Summoner | +2 speed or heal |
| Mantaroth | 11 | 1st | Shield and Armored Strike |
| Corsair Bosun | 10 | 2nd | Reach and Deflect |
| Janni Rebel | 9 | 3rd | Inspir |
| Frigid Wolf | 1 | 4th | Charge |
| Total Mana: | 36 |
The focus of this lineup is to keep my monsters alive while dealing damage and outlasting my opponent. My archon is Avina of the Wolf for the tank on one monster. My tank is Mantaroth with shield and armored strike, followed by Corsair Bosun. Next up is Janni Rebel with inspire and Frigid Wolf with charge. Janni will increase my damage while Mantaroth stays alive with the heal.
Round 1
At first glance, I think that this match is my win because I have heal on Mantaroth, and my damage is quite high due to Janni. I can outdamage my opponent so long as I don't miss.
Round 6
A few rounds later, my opponent is down to 2 monsters while I have all of mine. My heal will keep Mantaroth alive so there is no way for me to lose.
I won the match later that round.
Conclusion
The battle did go exactly as planned. My plan to use Mantaroth as a tank with heal worked well, and Janni increased my melee damage. Corsair Bosun was my fastest monster, and with its high damage, I was able to deal quite a bit of damage against my opponent.

What did you think of my match? Was there anything you would have done differently? I think it is quite interesting to see how different players use the same card.
