Splinterlands cuenta con 6 elementos; tierra, fuego, dragón, agua, muerte y vida. Cada uno de ellos tiene sus fortalezas y debilidades, algunos tienden a tener monstruos muy buenos en el combate cuerpo a cuerpo, otros se enfocan más en la magia o ataque a distancia, otros cuentan con algo de equilibrio. Hay un séptimo elemento que puede ser utilizado junto a los demás llamado neutral, estos monstruos nos ayudan a completar nuestro mazo consiguiendo plantear mejor nuestra estrategia.
Existen batallas que cuentan con reglas que bien pueden sernos de ventaja o mal pueden ser una desventaja, tal es el caso de la regla Shades of Gray, esta solo nos permite utilizar cartas neutrales, lo cual minimiza las estrategias que podamos utilizar. Si se cuenta con muchas cartas neutrales y hasta cartas Gladius, pues esta regla nos ería un problema, pero si no se cuenta con tantas cartas neutrales, todo se complica.
Esta semana les estaré compartiendo una batalla con esta regla Shades of Gray.
Splinterlands has 6 elements; earth, fire, dragon, water, death and life. Each of them has its strengths and weaknesses, some tend to have monsters that are very good in melee combat, others focus more on magic or ranged attack, others have some balance. There is a seventh element that can be used together with the others called neutral, these monsters help us to complete our deck getting to better plan our strategy.
There are battles that have rules that can either be an advantage or a disadvantage, such is the case of the Shades of Gray rule, which only allows us to use neutral cards, which minimizes the strategies we can use. If you have many neutral cards and even Gladius cards, this rule would be a problem, but if you do not have so many neutral cards, everything gets complicated.
This week I will be sharing a battle with this Shades of Gray rule.

⚜️CARTAS ELEGIDAS Y POSICIONES / CARDS AND POSITIONS⚜️
Para esta batalla el gasto de mana era de 20 puntos, con la regla de batalla que mencioné al principio y también Noxious Fumes la cual agrega veneno a todas las cartas restando salud al principio de cada asalto.
Mi adversario eligió el elemento vida con el invocador Franz Ruffmane que permite utilizar cartas Gladius, sin embargo él no eligió ninguna carta Gladius. Un tanque con escudo, una carta de ataque mágico y un mártir de ataque a distancia en última posición. No me ha gustado su elección ni el orden de las cartas.
Por mi parte les muestro mis cartas elegidas y posiciones:
For this battle the mana expenditure was 20 points, with the battle rule I mentioned at the beginning and also Noxious Fumes which adds poison to all cards subtracting health at the beginning of each round.
My opponent chose the life element with summoner Franz Ruffmane which allows the use of Gladius cards, however he did not choose any Gladius card. A tank with shield, a magic attack card and a ranged attack martyr in last position. I didn't like his choice or the order of the cards.
For my part I show you my chosen cards and positions:

Crypt Mancer fue el invocador que decidí utilizar en esta batalla, ya que tiene tres habilidades que le quitan ventaja a mi adversario, restando un punto de salud, velocidad y ataque cuerpo a cuerpo. Es del elemento muerte y su gasto de mana es de apenas 5 puntos. Teniendo en cuenta que solo podríamos utilizar cartas neutrales intenté bajar la moral de mi adversario en lo posible.
Crypt Mancer was the summoner I decided to use in this battle, as it has three abilities that take away my opponent's advantage, subtracting one point of health, speed and melee attack. He is of the death element and his mana expenditure is only 5 points. Taking into account that we could only use neutral cards, I tried to lower my opponent's morale as much as possible.

Goblin Mech was the tank chosen for this battle, it has 4 melee attack points and the ability to hit the surplus directly to health. He also has a good shield and his health is not bad. Considering the battle rules I thought it could hold several rounds and do enough damage.

In second position, place the card Elven Cutthroat, with only one point of health with a one point ninja attack, it could not be more than two rounds alive because of the poison in this battle, but it could cause some damage to the card in last position.

In third position I placed BATTERING RAM an opportunistic melee attack card, which first attacks units with less health points. Like the previous one, it barely stands, the poison will finish it off quickly, but I insisted on a strategy that causes as much damage as possible the first round.

Furious Chicken would be in the last position deflecting some ninja attack if it is the case. Although it is a rather weak card with no attack at level one, the cost of using it is zero, so there is no loss in summoning it.

En el primer asalto mi tanque apenas pudo quitarle dos puntos de escudo al tanque enemigo por su habilidad Shield, ninguna unidad murió.
El segundo asalto inició con el veneno en todas las cartas, en ella perdí mis cartas Furious Chicken en última posición, BATTERING RAM en tercera posición que tenía apenas un punto de salud y Elven Cutthroat. Solo me quedó mi tanque Goblin Mech. Mientras que mi adversario perdió todas sus cartas. De una forma sencilla e inesperada obtuve la victoria en esta batalla, sacando provecho de la regla de batalla Noxious Fumes y Shades of Gray.
In the first round my tank could barely take two shield points from the enemy tank because of his Shield ability, no unit died.
The second round started with poison on all cards, in it I lost my cards Furious Chicken in last position, BATTERING RAM in third position which had just one health point and Elven Cutthroat. I only had my Goblin Mech tank left. While my opponent lost all his cards. In a simple and unexpected way I got the victory in this battle, taking advantage of the battle rule Noxious Fumes and Shades of Gray.
