OVERVIEW
Greeting Splinterlands fan, been a long time since I post weekly battle post, for this week battle post I have chosen Cursed Windeku. I choose it because a lot of lower rank match (Bronze league), I use it quite often and also I think it also a great card since it have self heal ability. Why I think its heal ability is a great thing? It is because only 4 monster have the heal ability in the Chaos Legion pack (currently), means it is a great card to invest in for higher level payer and also long term investor. Enough talking, let jump to my battle post!
Cursed Windeku are nightmarish creatures that live in the deepest and darkest woods. They hunt at night, stalking their prey before attacking with their claws, while their thorn-like horns and natural healing ability provide an excellent defense,. They exude a pungent pheromone that reduces the reaction time of their victims, often allowing the Windeku to begin devouring them before they are dead.

RULES AND STRATEGIES
1. The rule is just a basic ruleset, means that I have more option in my strategy. Which also, it is lot harder to come up with strategy because a lot option I have. So the next thing I do is to take a look on what mana I have to work with.
2. 20 mana is quite low actually, because my deck is build more to 25-40 mana range to obtain advantage from opponents. So, I choose death splinter because it have a lot of good low mana monster.
LINE UP
My team at the top part
I went for Thaddius because I wanted to play it safe especially when I encounter Obisidian. My monster line-up have huge weakness when against magic team such as Obsidian.
The star of the show, it cost 6 mana and in return it gave me 9 health monster with Thorns ability which attack back if it get hit by melee attack. But, Thorn ability does not work when get attack by magic unfortunately. Besides, it have 2 melee attack and 3 speed which are quite decent so it will not miss an attack to easily.
I pick Sha-Vi because with Sneak ability combine with 2 melee attack will do quite some damage to opponent team. Also, I placed Sha-Vi as the second monster because it have 5 health which good enough to serve as my secondary tank if my main tank get knock out from match.
With 5 mana left to play with, I pick Undead Badger to compliment Sha-Vi since both have same ability which is Sneak. Also, if the attack it concentrated at the back, it might help to ease the burden of my main tank to eliminate as much monster as possible at the back.
Death Elemental being choose because it death magic damage which balance the team attack type and also as an encounter to range attack monster from opponent's team. Snipe ability really come in handy especially the monster cost only 3 mana.

RESULT
MY FINAL THOUGHT
DID YOUR STRATEGY WORK?
Yes, it does work but to be honest nothing extraordinary about my strategy. Which my Sneak monster focus on reducing threat at the back line while Windeku deal damage while attacking and also while being attack.
WHAT WILL YOU TRY DIFFERENTLY NEXT TIME?
I am not sure to change anything on mu strategy unless I found monster that able to do the same thing with same circumstances and able to winning with more dominance.
DO YOU LIKE CURSED WINDEKU? WHY OR WHY NOT?
I like this card because it is highly effective in lower rank match and also in lower mana match. Aside from that, this card is getting better when get upgraded because of its Heal ability, which not many monster from Chaos Legion have Heal ability which I believe it would be a great card to invest in.
