Undead Minotaur: Battle Strategy
Undead Minotaur is a card from the Reward collection and is a card of the death element.
It is a very valid card but only in some circumstances.
- Has a relatively low mana cost (6)
- Has an interesting ability: Double Strike
Thanks to this ability Undead Minotaur doubles its attack.
- It has a very low cost: 0.01$
In fact, buying Undead Minotaur level 5 costs only $ 0.25 while the level 6 card costs only $ 0.52.
For this reason I brought my Minotaur up to level 5.
- The biggest weak point is the life points: only 5 life points are very few for a card to be deployed in first position.

First position
Thanks to this ability Gelatinuous Cube increases its life by one unit each time a card (both opponent and friend) is eliminated.
A really strong and difficult card to eliminate. Very useful when there are many mana available as in the battle of this post.
Second position
If Gelatinous Cube is eliminated, Goblin Mech with 8 life + 6 armor points allows me to defend the cards well in other positions.
In my battles it is a card that I use a lot in combination with the summoners: Malric Inferno and Daria Dragonscale.
Third position
A very useful card. It has a low mana cost (4), a good attack (2) and 6 life points. A card that should not be missing in any collection.
The correct position is the second one but thanks to the Super Sneak battle rule I was able to deploy it in third position.
Fourth position
Usually attacks only from the first position.Fortunately, the battle rule allows me to field Undeand Minotaur in fourth position.
Undeand Minotaur has only 7 life and has no armor points and the ideal position is right in the center. Thanks to the summoner Daria Dragonscale acquires an attack of 3 which in fact doubles thanks to the Double Strike ability!
Fifth position
Sixth position
Of the available cards, it was the best. According to the battle rule it will be the most attacked card. He has a good ranged attack (3) and a low mana cost (4).
Summoner
When the combat rule is Super Sneak I always choose a summoner between Daria Dragonscale and Malric Inferno.
Considerations
I won the battle because I deployed better cards than my opponent.
Two cards were decisive:
- Gelatinous Cube (Level 6)
Neutralize Goblin Mech's opponent completely.
To understand how strong it becomes when it reaches level six, just look at how the battle ends: it starts from 11 life points and ends with 18 life points.
- Undead Minotaur (level 5)
When the battle rule is Super Sneak it becomes a very strong card.
With Daria Dragonscale his attack becomes equal to the attack of Goblin Mech (6 vs 6).
Thanks to the 6 attack points of Undead Minotaur I was able to deploy Gelatinous Cube and keep the same starting attack points as my opponent.
When I use Undead Minotaur
I don't field Undead Minotaur in first position. Almost never!
Too fragile and if your opponent deploys a card with a strong attack and higher speed in first position, Undead Minotaur will most likely be eliminated in the first round without being able to complete a single attack.
Undead Minotaur becomes very useful in some circumstances.
Determinants are the "Rules of combat".
Combat Rules favorable to Undead Minotaur
Undead Minotaur has no armor points and few points (only 5 on level 1).
The two combat rules above allow you to deploy Undead Minotaur in a more protected position (for example in the center) and not necessarily in first position.
Since Undead Minotaur has no armor points, this combat rule allows Undead Minotaur to become a more attractive card.
