I had a few battles saved up that were awesome that I was going to post about but then I just had this battle take place and I was so proud of my strategy that I had to show it off. For once I played smart and used strategy and it paid off!

My Team
For my Summoner
"Avina of the Wolf"
And I picked her because she can give the Heal ability to a unit and for my strategy to work I needed a way to heal the Unit in last position and this was the only way I could think of doing that!
For my Position #1
"Drybone Barbarian"
My guy Drybone! I was looking for a Melee/Tank Unit to soak up attacks and while a Unit with Thorns would have been nice, his 4 Melee Attack and 10 Health was ideal because in Spot 3 I will have a healer unit healing him.
For my Position #2
"Magi of Chaos"
He was picked because of his 2 Magic Attack and having 5 health. That was the only reason. I didn't have a good Melee unit with Reach to use so I went with Magic and this guy should do just fine!
For my Position #3
"Meriput Magician"
Now picking her was soley for her Heal ability. I needed to outlast my opponents and since my Summoner is going to be healing my guy in last place I needed 1 more unit to heal my guy in 1st place and she was perfect for the job!
For my Position #4
"Nimbledook Explorer"
I know his image is off as it doesn't show his stats or abilities but he gives out +1 Armor to all units which is key. I need to outlast and tank so giving out 2 armor to everyone will come in so handy!
For my Position #5
"Time Mage"
I needed some Unit that was 4 Mana and had a ability that would help me overall strategy and Time Mage with her -1 Speed to all enemies seemed like a perfect Unit to pick. Her +1 Magic Attack was an added bonus for sure!
For my Position #6
"Ulundin Overseer"
Now onto the brains of my strategy. I needed a tank in last position to absorb all those sneaking attacks and to hopefully just outlast everyone else. My Summoners Heal ability will be applied to this guy so that if he does take damage he should be able to heal up nicely!
Now onto the Battle!
Round 1
It is never a good sign when you start a battle and are going up against ALL Gold Foil cards. So yeah I was a little nervous. But after looking at the cards my opponent picked I think I have a good enough strategy to outlast them!
Remember, Poison every turn starting with Round 2.. I just need to outlast them
Round 2
AH CRAP, things are not looking good. I lost my main Magic attacker and my -1 Slow girl and my +2 shield guy....
Round 3
Now we get to see how well my strategy pays off and if I made the right call or not. All of my guys are dead except my tank that was in last position (remember though he has the Heal ability from my Summoner).
Round 4
We are making progress!
Round 5
MUAHAHAHA, So yeah I have a Unit with zero attack but his Heal ability heals up 1/3 of max health so 4 Health each round. Poison takes 2 damage each round and my enemy does 1 damage so in theory I should be fine...
Round 20 (yeah I skipped ahead)
It is still even because my opponent takes 2 damage from Poison and then heals 2 damage each round. I take 1 Melee damage and 2 Poison damage but heal 4 health so I go back up to 12 each round!
Round 23 (time skip ahead)
We are now in fatigue and I have way too much health so this is GAME OVER baby! My strategy worked woohoo
