One of the most annoying neutrals from Chaos Legion to battle against, the Disintegrator is the star of the following 13 battles submitted by Archmage users from their accounts automated by our service. Overall impressions of the card are first, and then each battle has a small written commentary.
Overall Impressions
If you suspect your opponent will play a Melee Attack team for any reason, Disintegrator is the card to use. Also, having a Demoralize at Level 1 in Neutral is very versatile as it can be combined with any other source of the ability to stack it, really punishing high-cost melee cards.
At the higher levels, which are not really seen in these battles, Disintegrator's other abilities combo very well with a huge variety of cards, like those with Stun or Inspire.
The card probably shines most in rules where it can attack out of position, for instance Equal Opportunity or Super Sneak. This may be especially true in higher leagues.
You would guess that Thaddius and Bone Golem might stand up here, especially with the Disintegrator doing some work. Sadly they do not. Obsidian is too much.

Kelya Frendul mirror match. Disintegrator mirror match. Nerissa Tridawn seems to be the decider here though. A bit questionable playing the Venari Wavesmith in Unprotected rules, but it is not punished.

Go away with your Level 1 Scarred Llama Mage at Gold League. I give you my Kelya with Disintegrator. Sad face on Grund and Flesh Golem. Easy win.

Level 6 Thaddius versus Level 4 Kelya. New cards versus old cards. Harklaw and Disintegrator shrug off so much damage here. If the Legionnaire Alvar had one more level, it would be even more ridiculous.

Level 4 Sloan versus Level 2 Kelya. Disintegrator on both teams. A bunch of fancy golds lost to solid team formation. Chaos Knight and Shieldbearer, who were discussed in a previous post, are good friends with the Demoralize. Add Warrior of Peace, maybe?

Disintegrator on both teams again, but because it's Obsidian versus Tarsa, the melee summoner gets punished more. Venari Knifer in front helps too. Nearly a flawless victory.

Level 6 Kelya mirror. The perfect six for the Disintegrator, nerfing every enemy monster. The 15% Blind on the Flying Squid does some serious work too, again on every enemy. Nerissa helps.

Level 1 melee-only Yodin at Gold League? No. You go away too. You're as bad as the SLM in the first game above. All six monsters left standing on the Tarsa team is what you get for that effort. Disintegrator says so.

Uriel, the Purifier. So beefy. And a gold foil Disintegrator. Nice. When the Warrior of Peace goes down, it's already over. Quix is great: Silvershield Sheriff is a big waste of mana with one less Ranged Attack.

Level 1 Mylor Crowling beats Level 2 Mother Khala. White just impales itself on the Thorns here, with most monsters debuffed, they take more damage in return than they dish out. Not good for a melee team to run into.

Level 3 Obsidian schools Level 2 Tarsa. Living Lava is bad against Magic attacks. Disintegrator is good against Tarsa. That is all.

Tarsa mirror match, but the levels are imbalanced. Earthquake rules, so the extra point of life on some monsters matters. Disintegrator is only on one team here and makes a big difference.

"So many misses - that serpent did some serious work" was one comment here. Serpent of Eld in Spreading Fury rules, where everything gets Enrage. And indeed it seems you do not want to deal with an angry Serpent.
