BATTLE MAGE SECRETS ✶ RISE OF THE COMMONS

The ruleset for this week's challenge

• Rise of the Commons - Only common and rare units may be used in battles

The ruleset that I managed to get

• Rulesets - Target Practice, Rise of the Commons & Super Sneak
• Mana Cap - 17
• Active Elements -

Here's my starting lineup

Summoner: Thaddius Brood

• With the ruleset and limited element selection that I got I felt like Death was the one for me in this battle
• So in my case i settled for Thaddius Brood was he was my highest level summoner and had so great stats on the side

1st Position: Furious Chicken

• Nothing really to say here other than why not play him he costs 0 mana when you have room for him of course

2nd Position: Animated Corpse

• Animated Corpse was my main tank for this battle
• Main reason I like Animated Corpse here a lot is his Void ability and high hp
• Void - Reduced damage from Magic attacks by 50%

3rd Position: Creeping Ooze

• Next up is Creeping Ooze
• He is in my team for two main reasons
• One is that he can tank at least 1 attack if it comes down to it and for second is his amazing Slow ability
• Slow - Reduces the Speed of all enemy Units by 1

4th Position: Skeleton Assassin

• Skeleton Assassin was my idea to take down some easy targets in the enemies backline
• For 3 mana you get a lot of stats being 2 melee damage, 5 speed and 3hp
• Sneak - Targets the last Unit on the enemy Team instead of the first Unit

5th Position: Ravenhood Warden

• Next up in line is one lovely soul bound card
• Even tho you don't get a lot of stats for 4 mana you do get the Protect ability which I really like
• Protect - All friendly units gain +2 Armor

6th Position: Carrion Shade

• Carrion Shade was my backline tank for this battle
• Also he was able to attack from the last position thanks to Super Sneak
• Even tho he does not have the highest number of heath he will be quite tankie with the Protect +2 armor and Flying
• Flying - Has a 25% bonus chance of evading Melee or Ranged attacks from Units who do not have the flying ability

Starting board

• Already after seeing the starting board I was quite sure I was going to lose as my enemy was running much higher level cards than myself but anything could still happen
• I was hoping my Protect ability could give me enough tankiness to take down my enemies backline monster
• Even tho my hopes were not high I still had a chance as anything could happen in a battle of Splinterlands, lets have a look

Here's how the battle went

1st & 2nd Round

• After 1st Round the board looked almost the same the only thing was I had lost almost all my armor and got nothing back
• 2nd Round was not better either I took down the only monster who my enemy wanted me to take down and also lost 2 of my monster in this round

3rd Round

• After 3rd Round all hope was lost
• I had only one monster left with 2 hp and my enemy was still looking stronger than ever
• Now I just needed to wait for my enemy to take down my last standing monster and face my defeat

4th Round

• It took my enemy 1 turn to kill my last standing monster
• After my Animated Corpse had fallen I took a fat L
• Battle Replay Link

Summary

• This battle was definitely heavily one sided but still fun to watch
• I battle came down to huge level difference in cards
• but also my enemy made a great comp overall so I basically had no chance at winning this one
