Splinterland's Battle challenge: Lava Spider.

This week Splinterland's Battle challenge featured Lava Spider card and Lava spider is Ranged attack card having snipe ability.

Being a Fire card and I predominantly go for the melee monster and "sniping" is my weak point , so this card never caught my attention. In the initial level it look a cheap substitute for Fire beetle and at higher level it got snare and poison ability. I feel poison ability is a killer ability.

When I got above ruleset, I thought let use the lava spider and snipe my opponent.

I created my team in Fire but used Dragon Summoner Delwyn Dragonscale instead of a typical Fire Summoner and when you see my team, you will see the reason.
My team in order : Delwyn Dragonscale (Summoner) , Lord Arianthus, Prismatic energy, Black Dragon, Zarlan Efreet, Lava Spider , and Naga fire Wizard.

Opponent team in order : General Sloan (Summoner), Cornealus , Divine Healer, Venari Crystalsmith , Prismologist, Air Elemental and Pelacor Arbalest.

My Rationale behind the team
I used Lord Arianthus and Prismatic energy at first and Second position as I was thinking that my opponent will use magic attack and both will reflect and Lord Arianthus is a strongest defender.
Black Dragon and Zarlan Efreet for the Leech abilities and Naga Fire wizard to defend my tail as it has shield. 3 mana Lava spider fitted perfectly and I created team of exact 40 mana.

Let move to the Battle.

Above is my screenshot when monster and summoner abilities in effect.

I am able to take opponent tank , and all my monster are
holding their ground.

I lost my tank Lord Arianthus and I but opponent is now 2 monster down.

My team and my opponent lost one more monster but in this situation, I have 2 "leeching" monster and 4 attacking monsters, while opponent is now having 2 attacking monsters now.
So game is perfectly sealed for me here.
