Wouldn't have any second thoughts about this card being my favorite pick. In my own bias, it's one of the most balanced card in the game. It's skill set fits as a vanguard for the team and it even dresses the part.

When I first heard about steem monsters, this card caught my attention immediately when examining what splinter to invest in. I picked it up because it looked cool enough for me and this was during a time when no stats or skills were laid out by the devs.

It has anti magic, anti physical damage. Decent health points and armor. I think the high mana cost and speed is a reasonable for a drawback.
