Are you someone like me who's priced out of Yodin, and getting smacked with ppl running yodin teams?

Let's see what options we have as Yodin defence..

Now there are three main elements required for a Yodin defence ( and a bonus fourth one)

Abilities

1. Taunt https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/7/75/Card_ability_taunt.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/75?cb=20210201190537
2. Reflection Shield https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/website/abilities/ability_reflection-shield.png
3. Slow https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/2/21/Card_ability_slow.png/revision/latest?cb=20210201190420
4. headwinds https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/b/b0/Card_ability_headwinds.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/75?cb=20210201185745
   (This one will only work if the opponent is running a archery focussed team)

So how does this strategy work?

You need a have a taunt monster placed in the first or the last place. (Ideally first)
The monster in the 2nd or the 2nd last position has to have a reflection shield.
This way all enemy monsters will be forced to hit the taunt monsters and the blast damage will be absorbed by the reflection shield monster.
Additionally this strategy will work the best with appropriate support for the taunt monsters

Support

e.g. tank heal https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/website/abilities/ability_tank-heal.png
repair https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/splinterlands/images/2/2e/Card_ability_repair.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/75?cb=20210201190057
