Testing Rebellion monster - Ujurak Mystic

---

Hello guys, this is my entry to the "Splinterlands Social Media Challenge!". If you want to participate and read more about the challenge, click here.

The Rebellion edition is the latest edition of cards in Splinterlands and there are a lot of new summoners and monsters which came out with this one. Each week I focus on different monsters and talk about them in detail with strategies that best fit them. This week, we have a Common Earth unit, Ujurak Mystic, a decent mage attacker with good overall stats. How often do you see two or more armour on mages?

Let's start by looking at its stats in detail.

Ujurak Mystic

CARD
RARITY	Common
ELEMENT	Earth
LEVEL	1
MANA COST	4 POINTS
ABILITIES/BUFFS	Lookout

Ujurak Mystic is a Common Earth unit that came out during the recent Rebellion edition. It is a mid mana cost unit costing just 4 mana to use but it comes with some impressive stats. It deals magic attack damage and decent speed. But it is more of a defensive unit as it comes with 2 extra armour even at level 1 and it has the 'Lookout' ability which gives its adjacent units one less damage from attackers with sneak, snipe and opportunity ability. Also, the ambush gives half the damage if this unit is in our lineup.

Let me show you how it performs using a battle as an example.

My Lineup

This is my lineup for the battle

Position	Summoner/Monsters
Summoner	Helios Matriarch
Position 1	Palidon Rakk
Position 2	Mycelic Slipspawn
Position 3	Regal Peryton
Position 4	Goblin Psychic
Position 5	Ujurak Mystic
Position 6	Mycelic Morphoid

It was a 38-mana cap battle with the "Rise of the Commons" ruleset which allows only the common and rare monsters to be used in this battle.

All elements except Life were active during this battle. I went with Helios Matriarch as my summoner which allowed me to use a gladiator unit in this battle.

My tank in this battle was Palidon Rakk, it is an impressive unit dealing 3 melee attack damage and having an incredible amount of health. It is a gladiator card for which I used my bloodlust ability so every time it defeats monsters its stats get increased by 1. All this cost only 7 mana.

Next in my lineup was Mycelic Slipspawn. It was a mage that had a lot of health and an interesting ability, taunt, which made all the units attack this unit first. Not only that, but it also had the 'forcefield' ability. So, it takes a lot of time to eliminate this unit.

Regal Peryton was placed in the third position, which costs 5 mana and deals magic attack damage with incredible speed. It's a 'flying' ability for him it dodges more attacks. So, it was a no-brainer for me to choose in this battle.

The next one was Goblin Psychic, a healer that supports my tank as it comes with a 'tank heal' ability. It costs only 6 mana and deals 2 magic attack damage.

Ujurak Mystic was the next unit in my lineup. It only costs 4 mana and comes with 2 shield armour of its own. Its 'lookout' ability is impressive and gives extra protection to its adjacent units from monsters with sneak, snipe and opportunity abilities.

Last but not least was Mycelic Morphoid. It just costs 1 mana and I used it at the back just to shield my back line and make it more sturdier. I didn't expect it to last much longer too.

Now that my lineup was set, it was time for battle.

I will share my battle here, which I have uploaded to YouTube.
