We're back this week with the deck of life in our weekly 
universe card analysis. Last week we looked at a common card that is a must-have for any life deck worth its salt. It was the turn of Drybone Barbarian. Today it's the turn of an epic card from the Gladius edition also belonging to the Life Deck. This week we have a date with the eleventh review of the series. Today we meet Marisol Contuma. Let's get started.

Let's go this week with a powerful card whose maximum yield is obtained by placing it in second position. Cards with the Reach ability are almost obligatory to be placed in second position. In some scenarios it is also useful to place them in third position, although they are usually placed second in our lineups. Also, like all Gladius edition cards, they have the Bloodlust ability and all that entails when they manage to cause a kill in the enemy ranks.
Vamos esta semana con una poderosa carta cuyo rendimiento máximo lo obtenemos al colocarla en segunda posición. Y es que las cartas con la habilidad Reach casi es de obligado cumplimiento colocarlas en esa segunda posición. En algunos escenarios también es útil colocarlas en tercera aunque, lo más habitual, es que vayan segundas en nuestras alineaciones. Además, como todas las cartas edición Gladius cuenta con la habilidad Bloodlust y todo lo que ello implica cuando consigue causar una muerte en las filas enemigas.
Although Marisol Contuma has a high summoning cost, no less than nine points, it is a very interesting card and one that I usually include in clan wars or in those battles where Gladius cards can be used and have a high summoning mana limit. Reach and Bloodlust form a lethal combination because it is possible to activate the bonus that Bloodlust provides before our tank drops and the opponent can damage Marisol Contuma. If we also have Contuma evolved to level 4 where she gains Inspire, the effect can be devastating and unrelenting.
A pesar de que Marisol Contuma tiene un elevado coste de invocación, nada menos que nueve puntos, es una carta muy interesante y que suelo incluir en guerras de clanes o en aquellas batallas en las que se pueden utilizar cartas Gladius y tienen un alto límite de maná de invocación. Reach y Bloodlust forman una combinación letal pues es posible activar el bonus que proporciona Bloodlust antes de que caiga nuestro tanque y el rival pueda dañar a Marisol Contuma. Si, además, tenemos a Contuma evolucionada a nivel 4 donde gana Inspire el efecto puede ser devastador e implacable.
Marisol Contuma's basic abilities are already a big deal even at level 1. Four attack and shield points, five speed, and nine vitality are considerable numbers, which is why her summoning cost is so high. At its highest level, it will have a two-point increase in melee attack and a one-point increase in vitality. In addition, he will have added Inspire at level 4 and Trample at his last level as special abilities.
Las habilidades básicas de Marisol Contuma son ya de tener en cuenta incluso a nivel 1. Cuatro puntos de ataque y de escudo, cinco de velocidad y nueve de vitalidad son unos números considerables. De ahí que su coste de invocación sea tan elevado. En su máximo nivel habrá mejorado en dos puntos su ataque cuerpo a cuerpo y en un punto la vitalidad. Además, habrá sumado como habilidades especiales Inspire a nivel 4 y Trample en su último nivel.
The Gladius edition is therefore not available on the market for purchase or rental... at least for the time being.
Carta Gladius por lo que no está disponible en el mercado ni para compra ni alquiler... al menos de momento.

Let's move on to the analysis of the selected battle. My opponent is 
and I'm going to break one of the rules I explained before: not to use Marisol Contuma in low mana battles. But the appearance of the Martyr ability has opened up a lot of variations and possibilities on the battlefield, so I'm going to use a card with Martyr as a tank to benefit from his death and boost Marisol Contuma's abilities in a way that makes him unbeatable. The idea, on paper, is interesting. Let's see if it works as I hope it will on the battlefield.

| Card | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Helios Matriarch | I place a dragon summoner with the Conscript ability to be able to use Gladius edition cards. This way I'll be able to use Marisol Contuma and try out the Martyr skill to boost her abilities. |
| Venari Marksrat | A card that always enters the line-up with the aim that it will die and benefit its neighbours... and this time it doesn't change the idea of its inclusion in the line-up. |
| Marisol Contuma | The star. |
| Xenith Archer | The two remaining summon mana points for a card with ranged attack and which is covered by Marisol Contuma's defensive strength so I'm confident it can do a good job. |
Marisol Contuma is a very powerful card that is greatly benefited by the Bloodlust ability. In addition, if the Martyr ability of an adjacent card also benefits it, it becomes a real nightmare for our opponent on the turn. In this case, the benefit of Martyr and the strategy planned based on it develops as and as expected, providing an affordable victory that is based, almost exclusively, on the characteristics of the protagonist of this week. Marisol Contuma receives a grade of 7 out of 10. It has the handicap of its high summoning cost but it is an affordable cost taking into account all that it provides us on the battlefield
Marisol Contuma es una carta poderosísima que se ve altamente beneficiada por la habilidad Bloodlust. Además, si también le beneficia la habilidad Martyr de una carta adyacente se convierte en una auténtica pesadilla para nuestro rival de turno. En este caso el beneficio de Martyr y la estrategia planeada en función a ello se desarrolla tal y como se había previsto proporcionando una victoria asequible que se basa, casi en exclusividad, en las caraterísticas de la protagonista de esta semana. Marisol Contuma recibe una nota de 7 sobre 10. Cuenta con el hándicap de su alto coste de invocación pero es un coste asumible teniendo en cuenta todo lo que nos aporta en el campo de batalla
