When you climb get out of the Bronze league, you start seeing many Life Splinter decks, and they are all similar. After a while you can predict what is coming, 'it's those cards again', you simply know it before they are placed.

Silvershield Paladin, Divine Healer, Peacebringer; surely you have seen this combination? The first THREE cards are almost always these ones and in this order sometimes with an Air Elemental at the rear.
It's not a bad deck, to be honest, but fares badly against my Death Splinter deck. One reason is that my Summoner, Zintar Mortalis is at level 4 whereas most decks in my league (currently Gold II) are at level 3.
Duh... well greater levels = more powerful; that goes without saying.
However, I have seen some weaknesses I can exploit using my Death deck even though the tank (Silvershield Paladin) is quite hard to hit due to his shield effect.
Haunted Spider is a squishy beast at level 1 and doesn’t get that much better later in the ranks. At level 4 he gets poison and this makes a difference.
If I can poison Silvershield Paladin, then he may as well be eating worms. Don’t overlook this powerful DOT (damage over time) spell as it hits for 2 per round and there's no cure!
Haunted Spirit is already an amazing tank. At level 4 he hits for 3 and has 8 health as well as self-healing every turn. He also gains Magic Reflect at (4).
Magic reflect is very bad for this Life Splinter deck as Divine Healer insists on sending magic damage over every turn which reflects back to him.
Screaming Banshee gets blast at level 3. The blast always hits Divine Healer thus weakening him even more. This is the weakness at placing the Healer in slot 2.
Once Divine Healer is dead, Silvershield Paladin is a lot more exposed and falls quickly.
On doing the daily quest yesterday I had FOUR Life Splinter decks challenge me, all with this combination and all failed to kick my arse.
There have been a few mentions of BOT’s using the deck some with the name 'BOT' in the username; bring em on...., the more the better!
