Phantom Soldier: OMG WHAT THE HELL I ACTUALLY GOT IT ON IT'S FIRST DAY OUT!
Here it is... Surrounded by Common Monsters, he hides his presence.
Hi there peeps! This time i'm not bringing a HUGE post (I hope, help me.) about this new Steem Monsters card that recently got added to the game. The Phantom Soldier.
My first impressions on this card...weren't amazing. I don't actually like the design of it (Purely in terms of aesthetic) but that's just my own gripe with it, even if it doesn't look that amazing to me, I think it still holds some very heavy and good value as an actual addition to the Death Splinter. As if the Haunted Spirit wasn't enough Anti Magic artillery, we're given literally THE ANTI MAGIC CARD, which cements the Death Splinter as the default most effective Anti Magic deck in the whole game (In my opinion.) Pair this up with Lord Arianthus, Haunted Spirit, and This card and WHAM, nothing's getting over you, especially if you have those cards at max level... which we'll talk about now.
If this isn't the Definitive Anti Magic Card, I don't what it is.
It doesn't start being The Magic Tank I'm selling you until it reaches level 3 and then even more at level 5 when it has already acquired Void and Silence, two of the most if not the best tools to disarm mages. So you're basically telling me that this card not only has the benefit of FLYING which makes Melee enemies miss by A LOT MORE than usual, this card also gains Silence, making magic enemies deal less damage and THEN, AS IF THAT WASN'T ENOUGH, it also gains Void, halving whatever's left of the magic damage that's dealt to it. Not only that, it's massive amout of HP also makes it even better as a tank, dealing with almost everything other players can throw at it.
The only downsize I see to this card is that it's mana cost is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too expensive. Forgive me if i'm wrong, but is this not the most expensive card in terms of mana cost yet in the game? 8 Points of mana is just 1 point more THAN ACTUALLY BRINGING A LEGENDARY TO YOUR TEAM (You should totally bring this card instead of the Lord of Darkness, he sucks.)
Besides his expensive mana cost, The speed of this card isn't great, it's just average. at 3 speed and absolutely NEVER gaining more than that, it's safe to say that it will get behind some of the more adept cards at max level. but I honestly think that for such a good tank, it's almost worth it. You're sacrificing an above average speed in exchange of the best Anti Magic card in the game. BOOM.
So guys that was it! I managed to pull out this bad boy (or bad cloud, because it looks like one) on the same day it came out! That's a lucky pull in my opinion! (Looking at you, UNICORN) And tbh even with this card at level 1, I think it's one of the units that will be used the best at it's early levels since it has already great stats for what it brings to the table. Even if it's not my favorite card, or the one I wanted (Read my Death Knight Story here uwu) getting a new Death Card that is cool is always appreciated!
Keep up the good work! @aggroed and @yabapmatt , @steemmonsters the game is looking hella cool!
P-P-P-P-P-P-PEACE!

It is expensive, but it has flying at level one. I think it will do OK in higher mana games maybe? It might be a game changer for some?
It will be interesting to see how it plays out. Silencing magic at higher levels will be interesting too.

DEATH SPLINTER WILL BE THE ONE AND ONLY TO RULE THEM AAAAAAAAAAAALL.
No, but in all seriousness it's kindof interesting to see how some splinters counter each other and play at higher levels.
It will do OK in higher mana Games of course, you just gotta commit to the fact that you WANT this card to suck all of the magic damage it can. And even if your enemy uses only melee cards, with flying and that rather big quantity of HP, it can still hold it's own against many other cards.
I normally stick my magic users towards the back end, so if they get sniping in, they can do some hefty damage. But often their health is pitiful.
8 health here can be a real decider.
Maybe no good in the 16 mana games, but when you have 26 mana to play with, why not?

Exactly! It's one of those cards you can just use allo of that mana and not mind about it too much!

Nice, I am still waiting to get one. I got a couple of the other new ones already, though. Just in time, because it seems like sometimes the battles were getting predictable. People had basically two different types of strategies, and you could try to predict which one they'd use, but that's about it.
Most of the time it reduces to "Hmm, Should I attack the Tank, go for Snipe or go for Sneak?" But yeah, I think these reward cards are getting better and better with each day that comes. They're bringing more and more ways to play and have fun, and tbh, that's what we all want.
