It was a mid-cost (20) "mana" battle with the "Standard" ruleset. I chose "Keyla Frendul" as my summoner as it gave +1 Speed and +1 shield to all my monsters. 

I placed "Albatross" in the front of the lineup to absorb one or two hits and with "Keyla"'s given shield and its own *Flying* ability it can sometimes take more than 2 hits to defeat this. 

In the next place, "Deeplurker" was there to deal some heavy blows to the opponent monsters with its +3 melee attack. Its 'Opportunity' ability helped in defeating the opponent's "Serpent Spy" early in the game. 

Next came "Hardy Stonefish" and "Chaos Agent" in 3rd and 4th places respectively. Their primary role was to distract the opponent's monsters and use them as shields for my last two monsters.

I used "Ice Pixie" as it cost only 2 mana at level1 and deal 1 magic attack with fast speed. Its 'flying' ability and a decent speed make it miss some attacks. I always try to incorporate some magic dealing monsters in my lineup as they never miss their targets.

In the last position, I used "Sniping Narwhal" which cost me 5 mana but its 'snipe' ability with 2 attack damage can deal some serious damage in opponents camp.

> Did your strategy work? What will you try differently next time?

Yes, my strategy worked this time. But this was a close battle. One thing I could change is the placement of my cards. I would try to place "deeplurker" at the back in the lineup too and see if that gave me an extra advantage.

> Do you like the DEEPLURKER? Why or why not?

Yes, I love this card for its heavy melee attack and 'opportunity' ability. You can place this card at any position but the best placement might be somewhere in middle. You can use it in many battle compositions too. The only downside to this card is its mana cost of 6 which makes it less usable at low mana cost battles for me.
