Owster Rotwell (AKA The Magic Dude)
As you guys know by now, that I am writing a series featuring the Dice Summoners. I started with this post after I opened 880 Azamare Dice over here. Totday I am going to feature the next summoner on my priority list Owster Rotwell; I am calling him The Magic Dude :)

Owster Rotwell (The Magic Dude) of Death Splinter
Let me tell you the most important thing first. 12-13 Mana battles were always ideal with Death Splinter. If Death was active, 90% of the time, most experience players will go for Death for almost any rule set. Now, with Owster Rotwell, it is almost unbeatable. Because now your Chicken will also do a magic reflect!! Beat that! Basically now the only way to beat Death Splinter is use some kind of super fast melee sneak attack.
Owster Rotwell is a 3 Mana summoner, with a simple ability that he give to every one on her team. Magic Reflect. In low mana battles, when you will likely use a Slime Ball, now that you do magic reflect too in addition to redemption. Amazing!!!
A few battles with The Magic Dude
I have 17 total battles with the Ninja BabeMagic Dude. 7 Wins - 10 Defeats. You say that's not very impressive. Well think again, I was testing, so I was overusing him. There were many situation I used Rotwell where I should never use him. So this season, I assure you, my win rate using him will be much higher. With that said, now it is time for some battles.
Battle -1
So here's the first battle. Target Practice. Only Fire and Death was active. From my point of view, the choice is fairly even, but I would have gone for death because on the low mana (18) and a good choice of magic attacks. Opponent thought so as well, but tactfully he chose only one magic attacker; without know my summoner of choice, intuitively this could have made him the winner! But it didn't :)
Unless you anticipate Lord Arianthus, and any other similar magic reflect tank, I think Fallen Specter is a must. That is what saved my neck, as otherwise I have no other way to reduce melee damage.
I also really like Dwarven Wizard with its stun ability.
So as you can see, opponent's melee heavy Death team was no match for the Magic Dude. The trick is to be as magic heavy as possible, and lets hope the opponent doesn't beat you with sneak attacks.
Battle -2
Here is the next one. This time Water, Life, Death and Dragon splinters were available. Battle rules were Equalizer, and Odd Ones out. Here the opponent chose Melee Dragon Summoner but no melee attack for some reason, could be a mistake, I do mistakes all the time. Important thing was there was LA at the front. One of the main nemesis of the Magic Dude, but I still won! However, this is not an example of the summoner's ability.
Battle -3
This is a little league battle, with 99 Mana LOL! All splinters are active. The opponent chose Fire. But with 3 magic attacker! GOTCHA!
Battle -4
Life vs. Death Battle here. Opponent does have Silvershield Paladin, which reflects magic, but I had two magic snipers who shoot above him :) Makes the difference, isn't it?
Battle -5
Finally the Water battle! LOL. NEVER USE WATER MAGIC ATTACK AGAINST ROTWELL. No matter your strategy, no win is possible. End of story.
Summary
Low Mana Death Battles will never be the same again, that is all that I am saying. Everyone will be afraid to use magic attack against Death splinter now. This is game chamger.
