Good day everyone, here's my weekly challenge!

Few explorers dare to go deep within the volcanoes of the world. Tales are told of great spiders that weave threads of fire and trap their enemies in webs of flame. An inescapable and painful death.
Lineup
| Splinter | Mana Cost | Position | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tarsa | 4 | Summoner | +1 melee & +1 health |
| Living Lava | 7 | 1st | One of the best tanks for fire deck |
| Radiated Brute | 5 | 2nd | 2nd best to Fineas Rage |
| Tenyii Striker | 5 | 3rd | A sneaker with high health |
| Serpentine Spy | 3 | 4th | High damage with opportunity |
| Sand Worm | 9 | 5th | High damage with sneak |
| Lava Spider | 4 | 6th | Something to block sneak |
| Total Mana: | 37 |
Round 1
Oh great, against the +1 range summoner with Pelacor Arbalest, lucky I have Serpentine Spy with opportunity, he will be taken down easily before big damage is dealt. Though I have to take down his taunt splinter first!
Round 2
Okay took down his tank, should be all good after this round with all his back row crippled by my sneak attacks and opportunity, but poor lava spider you are just an extra in this match.
Final Round
Luckily I have some pretty awesome damage dealer with the +1 melee boost that most of the splinters at the back are pretty much done for before they could effectively deal damage to me.
Conclusion
As the spiritual successor to Fire Beetle from the Alpha/Beta series, the lava spider was totally useless in this match, other than the fact that it became a meat folder ...
Alternative Lineup - That is if I have the cards
| Splinter | Mana Cost | Position | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tarsa | 4 | Summoner | +1 melee & +1 health |
| Living Lava | 7 | 1st | One of the best tanks for fire deck |
| Fineas Rage | 7 | 2nd | One of the best off-tank with reach |
| Tenyii Striker | 5 | 3rd | A sneaker with high health |
| Serpentine Spy | 3 | 4th | High damage with opportunity |
| Sand Worm | 9 | 5th | High damage with sneak |
| Molten Ash Golem | 7 | 6th | Something to block sneak |
| Total Mana: | 42 |
I still had mana to spare, with Molten Ash Golem health it will be able to tank some damage from snipe and sneak while replacing Radiated Brute with Fineas Rage is a no-brainer.
