Hmm, someone may have been listening to your tactics discussed on a Splinterlands 101 Podcast, perhaps Matt.
My max summoner, max gold common and max legendary didn't defeat :(.
Amazing to see the tactics win out over power.
The Flesh Golem and Scarred Llama Mage combo, played by @Moodo just defeated me and with lower level cards too. His summoner was only Level 1 and common card at level 3.
@mattclarke Love seeing a preferred tactic of yours at play. @killerdragon24 Here's a battle with the same manuever you've done to me too, but with flesh golem.
If it's 14 mana I grab Pelacor Mercenary instead. He's a little more vulnerable to magic and thorns, but retaliate will let him punch through an armoured, melee tank with repair, which is a weakness of Llama-Golem. If the Fleshy's only hitting armour each round, and there's a crippler in the back row, he's just going to get worn down.
