I'm so glad to have the opportunity to write a post about the new reward card: Dhampir Infiltrator! Once I saw its status I immediately went to the market and bought a couple of copies. I only need 15 more to have it at the level I desire which shouldn't take long to get with the daily / season reward chests.

Best Summoner: Daria Dragonscale (+1 melee damage)

The Dhampir Infiltrator is a fantastic card! Sneak and double strike on such a low-cost card is one of the best combos in the game. It has a decent speed and hits like a truck when you pick Daria as your summoner. It can deal 7 damage on a single round under the right conditions: 3 damage on the enemy shield + 1 from cripple + 3 from the second strike.
On top of the +1 from Daria, you can also play it alongside a card with the inspire ability to make it even stronger. It will wipe out your adversaries backline in a blink of an eye.

BEST RULESETS

Explosive Weaponry - Make sure to protect it so it doesn't die to splash damage before it can strike. When its turn comes around, it will melt the enemy back line dealing at least 10 damage.
Little League - As mentioned before, it is one of the best 4 mana cost cards in the game especially if you know your enemy will be playing a weak backline. Which they most certainly will on little league.
Unprotected - The enemy won't have any shield to slow down your sneak attackers.

Ruleset: Holy Protection, Up Close & Personal
Mana Cap: 18
Battle Link

Cerberus is always my first pick for the Up Close ruleset, followed by some sneak attackers to deal with the enemy damage dealers. I was expecting my opponent to bring a lot of sneaky cards so I placed my enchanted defender at the back to inflict some thorn damage and hold as long as possible.

The Enchanted defender was able to break all the sneaky attacker's holy defense and live to fight another round. Unfortunately, my Infiltrator missed one of her attacks so his Uraeus survived.

Uraeus was the first to strike and it went down to thorns. My enraged chicken tanked the two following attacks and ONCE AGAIN my Infiltrator misses one of her attacks.

After a very unlucky beginning my luck turned around and I was able to hit every single hit so far. We are now at the decisive moment!
My Kobolt can still tank one attack and strike back but it has to hit, otherwise I lose the match.

HE DID IT, after that, it was a quick clean up! These kinds of battles are really enjoyable to watch, it started poorly but my team was able to clutch it up at the end.

I hope you enjoyed the post! I failed to show the true potential of the Dhampir Infiltrator but it still played a vital role in my win. I think we will be seeing a lot more players using it once more copies are available. Definitely a good buy and hold card in my opinion, I doubt we will be seeing any more low mana double strike sneaky attackers in the near future.

Great description of your battle as well as the benefits of Dhampir Infiltrator! My daily focus is Dragons Splinter, so maybe I will see if it is better to level my Infiltrator up or rent one!

Thanks for the great post! It will help in my tactics.
