The Strategy

It was a Silver League, 24 Mana battle with Heavy Hitters and Lost Magic. I knew I wanted to pair General Sloan with some extra speed in a match where there was going to be no magic based monsters.

Position	Card	Level	Reason
Summoner	General Sloan	4	Increased Ranged damage for each ranged monster on the team.
Position 1	Chaos Knight	5	A strong tank with good damage and the Shield ability.
Position 2	Soul Fiend	1	Legendary Chicken to soak up a hit.
Position 3	Celestial Harpy	4	A cheap mana cost card with the opportunity ability to pick away at the enemy team.
Position 4	Supply Runner	5	Our star of the week with decent damage, high speed and the swiftness ability.
Position 5	Pelacor Arbalest	4	Decent damage and double strike. Greatly enhanced by General Sloan.
Position 6	Furious Chicken	1	The OG Chicken to soak up a backline hit.

The Result

Round 1 started with an unfortunate miss by Supply Runner on the opposing Albatross but luckily Pelacor Arbalest came in with the double strike to take first blood. Celestial Harpy and Chaos Knight then destroyed the enemy Chaos Agent. Then our Legendary and OG Chickens served their purpose to the opposing damage dealers: Deeplurker and Feasting Seaweed.

Round 2 saw the opposing Scavo Hireling being wiped out by our Pelacor Arbalest. Whilst the Deeplurker decimated our Celestial Harpy.

Supply Runner quickly dispatched the Sniping Narwhal early in Round 3 and Pelacor Arbalest took out the Feasting Seaweed.

This only left the Deeplurker standing who did not last very long against our remaining forces.
