Iza The Fanged
In the same spirit than what does, I like to find niche use cases for cards that don't attract much attention. Playing only in Gold III, I consequently do it on a much lower level than he does, yet the logic remains the same.
Iza The Fanged is not a card that I own, but because I rented it for Power, I thought I would try to figure out how to use it. She reminds me of the Venari Seedsmith, which I covered a few weeks back.
However, being one mana cost less than Seedsmith, Iza The Fanged is therefore available for Little Leagues battles. I went with a similar strategy I ran with the Venari. I placed Iza in the second/third tank position to give her time to scavenge some HP before reaching the front line.
Then, I hadn't many choices for the support cards as the mana cap of this battle was very limited (14 mana). I needed a Tank Heal, and the only option in this situation was Wood Nymph.
Wood Nymph's low health, however, made her very vulnerable to sneak attacks, so I added Mycelic Morphoid behind her to hopefully hurt a sneak monster thanks to its Thorns ability.
It ended working better than I expected, mainly because my opponent's lineup was perfect for the strategy I wanted to try.
There were plenty of very low HP monsters, which could help increase Iza's HP. Moreover, the opposite sneak monster had only two HP, which wasn't enough to survive the Thorns of Morphoid.
Then, without self-healing monsters in the opposition, the win was simply a matter of time. With the fatigue kicking in during long confrontations, a Self-Heal monster might have put me in trouble.
In the end, the setup was simply perfect to make this work.
