Serpentine Spy? The most awesome card you've always underrated.

Serpentine Spy The most awesome card you've always underrated..png

I play in the Bronze League, and I can tell you, the most important cards to own is the Serpentine Spy. I am so often surprised that it's a card you don't often come up against. Probably because it is not a flashy tank, or amazing support in the backline. However, there is more to this card than initially meets the eye.

Here's why it is awesome:

2 Attack - from a card that costs 3 mana, this is about as good as it gets.
3 Speed - with boots this quick, odds are, you will be the first to attack in the battle. If this card takes out an opponent's card right away, you'll be ready to win the battle before it gets started.
1 Health - this is the card's weakness.

But did you see it's OPPORTUNITY skill?
This skill means that it will target your opponent with the lowest health, and in turn, knock out your opponent one by one - and usually, since they're in the backline, this will leave your opponent's tank as a sitting duck.

So - the card is amazing. Perhaps it is for this reason the card demands a price of $2.81 USD per card. It is part of the 'Starter Set' however, so that might keep the price low. When it is removed from the 'Starter Set' I would expect his cost to sky rocket.

That said, Serpentine needs to be paired with the right teammates. I'd suggest:

Tarsa is a super pair, because she will bump up your Serpentine Spy's attack to 3 - and his health to 1. This will make you far more dangerous, and perhaps let you survive a hit!

I'd also recommend you put the Living Lava out the front. The Lava has SHIELD and will take an awful lot to kill.

Still not convinced? Have a look at how the Serpentine Spy goes in this battle below. The battle only goes for 23 seconds because the Spy defeats both of my opponent's backline cards - and then, he destroys my opponent's tank.

This was truly a battle to watch on replay to show just how necessary this card can be. Enjoy the fight:
