Prelude
Hi all, good day to all of you. It's time again for Community Engagement Challenge. For today, the challenge is on my favourite strategy. And I do have a strategy that I would like to share with the community as this is one that see me through so many games.
The Strategy
This is my favourite strategy to date as it is really very strong when you have the right pieces in the lineup to pull off this.
The Pieces
Djinn Oshannus - The Boosted
Venari Marksrat - The Sacrificial Lamb
River Hellondale - The Orchestrator
In this strategy, the key is the sacrificial lamb and orchestrator, but for the one boosted, we cannot select anything too shabby, hence Djinn Oshannus is a great choice because of its base stats is very high especially on health and speed. This is exceptionally important so that it can essentially dodge almost anything when boosted by martyr and not just once but twice boosted. For me, because my Oshanus is level 2, it also gains the phase ability, making it super hard to go against.
And onto the sacrificial lamb, this the key to the strategy. Without this card, the combo cannot be pulled off. This card gives martyr and the sacrifice of this card can really make it crazy for an already strong card much less being able to pull this off two times. And this is where our orchestrator becomes super important he will be the enabler to resurrect the Marksrat for it to be able to get smashed one more time to pull off yet another martyr. And when this happens, Oshannus will be tough to take down as it will essentially dodge off many melee, range and magic attacks.
And this is why, with such a strategy put in, I have won numerous matches be it in brawl or even in normal ranked battles.
In order to showcase how good this strategy is, the best way is to showcase it using a battle itself. So let's battle.

The lineup setup for me and my opponent:
For me, the lineup goes with my combo trio with Oshannus right behind Marksrat to get killed and River Hellondale a little behind to pull off the strategy I wanted. Other than that, I have also put up some big guns in addition to the 3 cards, 2 big opportunity cards in Deeplurker and Kulu Mastermind and lastly a big magic hitter in Nerissa Tridawn. Basically key is to hit big while using the boosted Oshannus to hold the front line.
Opponent wise, I see mainly all big magic hitters with Arachne Weaver for heal and 2 very massive Magic attackers in Usut and Barashkukor. An expected frontline with Cursed Windeku and Arachne Thug to sustain and bash up on my lineup. Strong lineup as well from my opponent, not gonna be easy.
Let's begin the battle proper.
Round 1, We started this match hoping that the double martyr to trigger and indeed it happened. Thaddius magic debuff made it harder for us to hit hard on magic but with Oshannus at 8 speed, we are in a good position. Arachne Weaver was smashed right at the start by Kulu Mastermind.
Round 2, Kulu Mastermind drew blood this round by taking out Venari Bonesmith followed by Deeplurker whom finished off Cursed Windeku whom was earlier worn out by Oshannus. We are on a row, let's see how we can continue.
Round 3, From the start, we were relentless with Oshannus taking out Arachne Thug followed by all kinds of damage going towards Barashkukor and finally Nerissa Tridawn land the fatal blow and now we are left with Usut to take care.
Round 4 and 5, Over the course of the 2 rounds, it was just attack after attack till we are able to take down Usut and get the win we much needed. Other than Marksrat, the whole lineup was unscathed.
Battle summary:
With Oshannus leading the front after being double boosted by martyr, opponent's lineup pieces were taken out one by one by my backline big hitters. Opponent is strong but against a fully boosted Oshannus, they can't really do much damage to it with it still having 6 health at the end of the match.
Wrap Up
This is an awesome strategy that helped me so much in my gameplay and powered through league after league and won me countless brawl matches. All you need is this 3 pieces to work together and they will create wonders. Also in today's context, to own this 3 cards is also not expensive so consider adding them to your lineup and see how this strategy take flight and win matches big time for you.
