The Spirit Miner is my favorite card because it has great magic damage and is neutral, so we can use it on any type of summoner.
Spirit Miner
One brave Dwarf Miner dug too deep many years ago into the Underworld of Mortis, seeking great treasure from the Realm of Dreams. He stumbled upon an ancient, brooding evil called the Black Drake of Malaby and a great duel ensued. Although the Dwarf was skilled in the warring ways, he was no match for the power of the sinister Drake. He was cornered and targeted by Malaby's most powerful spell, Flesh Assumption. The body of the Dwarf vanished, and all that remained was a silver, ethereal spirit cloud. Before the Assumption spell could be completed, the Dwarf escaped from the monster's clutches. The Spirit Miner now wanders the Splinterlands unencumbered by Dwarfly flesh, practicing the powerful magic that he learned from the fateful duel with the Underworld Drake. He is not alive, nor is he dead. He is the Spirit Miner.
Power and skill
Level 1
The spirit miner has a large amount of damage at level 1, with 2 magic it is a lot for a level 1 card, plus it is fast (3) and has great life 6
About his ability, he has "Dogde" which gives him a 25% chance to dodge attacks.
Level Max
Unlike level 1 with the maximum level is that it increases the magic damage to (3) and additionally 2 skills which are Swiftness: "All friendly Units have their Speed increased by 1" and Blind: "All enemy Melee & Ranged attacks have a 15% higher chance of missing their target".
I definitely prefer level 1 over max level, I don't like both skills but that's just my point of view
Combination with summoner
For me the best combination that can be made is with this summoner that gives +1 magic damage, making the Spirit miner at level 1 get to do 3 damage is a lot of damage, plus how the summoner only consumes 3 mana is open for more water type cards that also have good magic damage
Position in battle
The best position in battle for this Spirit Mine is between 4 and 5 because if I put it too far ahead it gets killed quickly and I don't take advantage of its great damage, and if I put it last an enemy card could have the ability that looks for the last card and eliminates it and I don't take advantage of its damage.
¿Why is this card so favorite for me?
This card is a favorite because thanks to it you can easily scale and win in low-medium leagues due to its great damage, in addition to not being so expensive compared to others.
