Steem Monsters - a New Card with the Tank Heal Ability!

I didn't play Steem Monsters for a few days, both because it's been hard to win with my cards (which are still weak), and because I wasn't as excited about these reward edition cards as I had been at the time the quests rewarded us with free booster packs. But some new reward cards have been released recently, and one Earth card called Wood Nymph grabbed my interest.

I've always liked the Water cards because of their emphasis on magic attacks, and the presence of the Crustacean king with the Tank Heal ability (heals the Monster in the lead position). Aside from the crustacean, there was only the Divine Healer (Life element) that has Tank Heal at level 1. And now, there's the Wood Nymph, of the Earth element. She's a magic user, has the Tank Heal ability, and has 1 Magic Attack at level 1. So far, she's the only Tank Healer that already has a means to attack at level 1 (the Crustacean King and the Divine Healer only become able to attack at level 3). The Earth cards tend to focus on Health (even the Summoner Lyanna Natura gives a +1 Health bonus to the whole team), and a card with healing feels like a welcome addition. I have been struggling to win with Earth cards. Maybe this one is what was missing for me!

So, I decided to play the game again to see if I could get this card. I kept checking the quests every day, until a quest involving one of the elements I have a bit better cards of (and a bit more chances of winning) appeared. I managed to clear the quest, and the resulting rewards were...

Five cards, one being a Creeping Ooze (another one of the newly announced cards), and two being... Wood Nymphs! Not one, but two at once! This was nice. Definitely a small motivation boost! Once I get assigned a quest about winning battles with Earth cards again, I'll test her.
