This week's Splinterlands Challenge of the Week was to showcase Mitica Headhunter, from (unsurprisingly!) the Earth Splinter. Mitica is a straight up medium-high mana carnage card - 8 mana for 6 damage with piercing and a high speed of 5 giving him...

This week's Splinterlands Challenge of the Week is to share the neutral, sniping Mantoid. I already shared a battle on my main account, but trust me this one is much better - I crushed my far superior opponent and was awarded 70 points for the victor...

This week's Splinterlands Challenge of the Week is to share the neutral, sniping Mantoid. This is a pretty awesome card TBH - 3 damage at level 6, and 6 health, and snipe with net, although it is a little heavy on the mana for what you get! The batt...
