Card Analysis / Strategy
Saltwater Eroder gains the Strengthen ability only when its health is less than 9 so it is imperative that its health be reduced less than 9 and gain the strengthen ability and then it its health can be increased as quick as possible.
Strengths
The Strengthen(2) will increase the attack of neighboring minions by 2. This is pretty useful feature when you are in a transition from Control to Rush. It will be a big boost to Scarlett Swiftblade if it is summoned in the adjacent slots where it can deal immediate 12 damage. To defend the card after its health goes less than 9 the preferred way would be to use invisibility instead of anti-magic field and then doing anything possible to increase its health using Quilong's Shroud or Sanctuary of health. The Card's ability is best used when the card is already summoned and the opponent uses a Weak Rush minion like Minotaur or Anaconda.
Weakness
This Card is neither in Control nor in a Rush state. It is just some card that works as a intermediate. It cannot be placed in a pure Rush or a pure Control meaning it is very difficult to find a duelist using this card in the top 1000 as there are much better cards out there which can provide better offense. Anti-Magic Field and Quilong's Shroud are the worst ever defense you can provide to this card. It is very difficult to find Weak Rush minions in top 1000. The only segment in which this card can be best used is in the 1400-1600 Range. In other ranges the card's ability is rendered useless. There are better Common Cards out there than this card like the Borlock Commander which is 10ATT/12HP with Strengthen(2) right from the time of summoning instead of the conditions required to use this card. This Borlock Commander can be well defended using Quilong's Shroud which will make the adjacent minions gain virtually 2ATT for next 3-4 Turns.
