There was a war on the borders of Praetoria between Earth and Dragon units. Both factions had been trying to show their dominance with mighty warriors, but it only suffered the lives of people living in the countryside.
The village elder went to Agor Longtail and requested him to end the war as people on the border were dying of hunger. Agor accepted their appeal and sent Delwyn Dragonscale, Djinn Chwala, and Oshuur Contantia along with some local Earth units to clean up the mess on borders.
Up to Eleven
All units in a battle receive Amplify ability, this ability enhances the damage received from Thorns, Return Fire, and Magic Reflect. Using monsters with specified damage abilities will do +1 extra damage.
Additional Rulesets: What Doesn't Kill You
This ruleset applies Enrage ability on all units when active in a battle. Enrage ability increases Speed and melee attack damage when that monster does not have full health, non-melee monsters only receive increased speed.
BATTLE LINEUP
This battle allocates 38 mana for both summoner and monsters, therefore I carefully inserted suitable cards in the lineup.
The following images and tables show the monsters used in this battle:
| LORDSHAH'S CARDS | OPPONENT'S CARDS |
|---|---|
| Delwyn Dragonscake (Summoner) | Immortalis (Summoner) |
| Djinn Chwala | Venari Knifer |
| Fungus Flinger | Fungus Flinger |
| Goblin Psychic | Grund |
| Mushroom Seer | Venari Marksrat |
| Wood Nymph | Queen Mycelia |
| Oshur Constantia | Goblin Psychic |
STRATEGY
I wanted to build a team that could be used against magic and melee monsters and I went for a Dragon summoner with 1 melee unit, 1 ranged unit, and 4 magic units.
- Delwyn Dragonscale can summon Dragon units along with units from any selected faction. He boosts magic attacks using his +1 magic-enhancing buff.
- To take advantage of Amplify, so I picked Djinn Chwala with Thorns, any melee attacker who hits him takes 3 damage with Amplify active.
- Oshuur Constantia is used to revive any unit that dies early in the unit, if she revives a Martyr unit then the adjacent monster will get extra stats twice.
- I used 2 healers to support the tank unit when that was in low health.
Summoner and Monsters in Action
Delwyn Dragonscale is a rare Dragon summoner, he can boost Magic attack by 1 point. We can also call him a dual-faction summoner as he can pick both Dragon and units from a selected faction.
Djinn Chwala is the main unit here, he is placed in first position as a tank. He will do 2+1 damage to any melee unit that attacks him and he can get enhanced Attack and Speed if not at full health. When he revives he gets all his stats except health which is always 1 after revival.
Fungus Flinger takes 2nd position, he is here to die and boost the stats of adjacent units upon his death. 2nd position means if any Snipe unit is in enemy lines, it will attack the first monster in the backline.
Goblin Psychic is placed in 3rd position, he uses his Tank Heal ability to heal a monster in first position. He does magic damage and he will do 3 magic damage in this battle.
Mushroom Seer stands in 4th position, he is very important in this battle because of his Silence ability, he reduced the magic attack of all enemy units by 1 point.
Wood Nymph is another Tank Healer in this battle lineup, she is used to heal the first monster.
Oshuur Constantia is a legendary Dragon unit, she can resurrect any friendly monster who dies first in the battle. Resurrect can be very beneficial when reviving Martyr units.

BATTLE COMMENTARY
Delwyn Dragonscale burns a magic potion, it causes a green smoke, and friendly units inhale it to gain +1 to their magic attacks.
Immortalis rolls his staff, and it sparks and creates shimmering lightning effects, the tiny sparks hit his allies and give them Void and Shatter abilities, and then he electrocutes Delwyn's team causing them to lose 1 health.
All units also receive new abilities imposed by the battlefield aurora, they are buffed with Amplify and Enrage.
Round 1
Mushroom Seer breathes a foul stench which carries the magical ability to reduce the magic attack of enemy monsters. Queen Mycelia beefs up the armor of her units as they gain 2 armor points.
Venari Knifer starts the battle and hits Djinn Chwala, but he loses his armor, and then backline monsters start to blast him. Mushroom Seers throws a poison ball toward Venari Knifer and he inhales the gases arising from that ball, his lungs explode inside his chest, and dies in so much pain.
Round 2
"Those who live must die, I can kill and I can revive." warns Oshuur Constantia to enemy units and hurls a huge magic ball toward Fungus Flinger and kills him instantly.
Grund comes face to face with Djinn Chwala and shouts with anger "You think your thorns can kill me, never, ever." and Chwala is pounced by magic attacks from behind.
Round 3
Grund is enraged and fiercely attacks Chwala. Chwala's heartbeats are lowering as he sinks into the valley of death.
Oshuur Constantia murmurs something and then she extends her hand sending a wave of life and healing, she resurrects Djinn Chwala and says "Your death is not written yet, you are destined to slay Grund, rise and fight."
Rounds 4
"You killed me once, kill me twice, and I swear that you'll die with me." Chwala's eyes become red hot as he threatens Grund.
Healers are trying to keep Chwala alive as long as they can, but Grund becomes very strong and frenzy, but he forgets that Chwala's armor is made to kill anyone who touches it.
Grund has lost a lot of blood, but he attacks Chwala in sheer anger and attacks him, but Chwala spears him and injects a pointy pauldron into his belly. Both champions fall to the ground and see each other as they die together.
Mushroom Seers targets Venari Marksrat and kills him with the gas emitted from his poisonous mushrooms. As an act of revenge, enemy Goblin Psychic kills Fungus Flinger.
Round 5
Goblin Psychic is now facing Queen Mycelia, he throws a magic ball toward her and wounds him, then Oshuur Constantia channels her death magic and kills her immediately.
Now, both Psychics are looking at each other with a very disgusting gaze.
Round 6
"Bro no kills bro, ye goblin me goblin, shake hands." pleads enemy Psychic, "But, war is above any relationship, war must end with your death." responds Goblin Psychic.
First, he wounds him severely and then Oshuur Constantia blasts him with her powerful magic.
STRATEGY OUTCOME ANALYSIS
The strategy worked and my team successfully defeated all enemy units within 6 rounds. But, the most interesting part of the battle was the revival of Djinn Chwala as he stood tall against mighty Grund and laid him to the rest along with him.
I took quite a benefit from Silence by Mushroom Seer and reduced the attack of Goblin Psychic, this -1 to magic attack led my team to be victorious. Healing by Psychic and Nymph was also very crucial in this battle, it kept alive Chwala for longer than expected.
It would have been almost impossible to defeat Grund if Chwala was not there in the battle, Grund became very powerful after getting extra stats from Fungus Flinger. The way this team has worked together seems exemplary and I will keep using this strategy in similar battles.
Hopefully, my readers will enjoy this strategy and try it in their battles as well. If you guys like to share your thoughts about this battle, feel free to add a comment.
