Hello Splintermates and Fello Hiveans,
It is the weekend and it is time to share @Splinterlands Community Engagement Challenge: Hidden Gems where in her i would like to share SALTWATER MAGE - a hidden gem, a foundation card that still not explore by most splinterland players yet its magic will show its might once you met it in the battlefield.
WHO IS SALTWATER MAGE - a hidden gem
SALTWATER MAGE is a epic water frontier that is part of the foundation card . It is a 8 mana magic monster. At level 3 it has 2 magic attack, 7 health and 2 speed although it is a black foil that is always at maxed level as now the frontier mode is unlocked up to silver level. It has also a sneak ability (targets the enemy unit in the last position) which is a unique to some magic monster as sneak are mostly dominated by melee monster. Saltwater mage is not yet owned by many players as it is only acquired through playing the frontier mode. Saltwater is a hidden gem as it allows to attack 3 magic attack as water archon provide plus 1 magic attack to all frienfly unit. In the battlefield saltwater mage dominates as it usually kill the opponent in mostly 1 hit often tie 2 health against those with higher health or weak magic ruleset.
This is the number 1 mint black foil water mage, i am not lucky to have in the draw but the lucky guy share his luck to me by allowing me to buy it to him. This also makes this black foil saltwater mage mint number one a card to be sought by card collectors one day.
SALTWATER MAGE INTO THE BATTLEFIELD
This battle is a 45 mana battle with maneuvers and born again ruleset against a strong opponent (a once gold league top leaderboard) . But the story in this challenge is how saltwater mage illuminates opponent most with one hit. Although it illuminate them with one hit it need a second hit for those with higher health. This battle is also a water against water that means it is the battle og magics. My opponent implore a taunt strategy but i go for a decisive full offensive attack .

ROUND 2
In this second round saltmater mage help again to illuminate water -logged lizard with just one hit. Looklike a 100% kill rate in 2 rounds.
ROUND 3
In this round saltwater mage didn't cause a kill shot, it it because lunaki howler got 4 health althoug saltwater cause him a 3 damage that is for sure it will be killed in the next round.
ROUND 4
In this round 4 saltwater mage make sure that it illuminates lunaki howler and that really hapens. Now it looks like the battle is almost won already.
ROUND 5
In just 5 rounds the victory was won . The dominance and attack provided by saltwater mage to the team is a significant help. Its huge 3 magic attack and sneak ability was outstanding
THOUGHTS :
Saltwater mage is really a hidden gem with a powerful magic attack. But acquiring the number 1 mint black foil is even more has a magic attach to it specially in the collectors perspective.
