General Notes
As a neutral card, this monster has built in versatility. It comes with a decent allocation of health and medium speed with magic attack ranging from 2-3. Level 1 comes standard with dodge, but you can unlock swiftness and blind at levels 2 and 3 respectively. It's magic attack type is also a great asset allowing attacks to bypass armor and have a high hit rate since magic does not miss under normal circumstances.
With 6 mana casting cost, this monster can fit in some team builds, but may be too costly for smaller mana caps.

Lore
One brave Dwarf Miner dug too deep many years ago into the Underworld of Mortis, seeking great treasure from the Realm of Dreams. He stumbled upon an ancient, brooding evil called the Black Drake of Malaby and a great duel ensued. Although the Dwarf was skilled in the warring ways, he was no match for the power of the sinister Drake. He was cornered and targeted by Malaby’s most powerful spell, Flesh Assumption. The body of the Dwarf vanished, and all that remained was a silver, ethereal spirit cloud. Before the Assumption spell could be completed, the Dwarf escaped from the monster’s clutches. The Spirit Miner now wanders the Splinterlands unencumbered by Dwarfly flesh, practicing the powerful magic that he learned from the fateful duel with the Underworld Drake. He is not alive, nor is he dead. He is the Spirit Miner.
