The Spirit Hoarder is one of those Cards that I own but that I rarely really use. The core stats aren't anything to write home about and this card needs to get its power from 3 great abilities. The Blind is an underrated ability as it increases the chance for the opponent to miss. This also works on slow game rules which makes it useful there as it only has 1 speed. The Triage provides healing to a monster in the backline which is always useful and the Dispel clears positive effects on the monster that is hit. This makes the card more useful in higher leagues as there are much more abilities and buffs. So I rate this as a good situational card but not a must-have as in most game rules it's not the most optimal monster to play.
I am currently renting a Lily Shieldpaw just to see if it is really worth buying 4 extra copies to get it to Level 3. It was a battle where all monsters got the reflect ability and only odds mana monsters were allowed with ranged monsters getting the ability to attack from the 1st place. I opted for to combine the dragon summoner with Life cards and choose the Uriel The Purifier as my main tank where all the damage in this battle would be aimed toward. I put the Divine Healer in 2nd place knowing it would take reflect damage but it also would get healed by 2 Triage ablities in my team. The Air Elemental remains one of the stronger life cards and I and eying to possibly get that to level 5 for 1 extra attack even though it's quite costly. I put the Spirit Hoarder in 4th place more than anything as a filler card just for the sake of this challenge. in the backline I put the Thunderbird and the Lensmaster
Splintertools showed a 53% chance of winning in what where kind of similar approaches. The Fact that all the damage from my opponent was directed toward my tank while I had a double heal for the entire backline really helped me to get the win on this game.
