This week's Battle Mage rule set challenge was Melee Mayhem in which melee monsters can attack from any position!
Melee Mayhem general strategy....
You have a choice over whether youb play more melee or not.... my strategy is to play GOOD melee monsters but not overdo it!
If you play too many you open yourself up to the obvious counters of minus melee damage and, of course, thorns!

Mana and rulesets:
- Mana 16
- Meleee Mayhem, Knockout and Unprotected!
/
Summoner - Cara for the minus one melee attack
- Crypt Beetle - a decent low mana tank with shield
- Corpse Fiend - useful 0 mana in low mana battles
- Screaming Banshee - high magic damage for low mana
- Undead Priest - decent damage for low mana and slow!
- Soul Strangler - MASSIVE damage for 3 mana
- Vruz - sneaky sneak! And decent speed!
The battle...
- round 1 -
- Straight off the bat I take out the halving alchemist, then blast out chicken!
- It's all over! I finish my opponent off!
Final battle analysis
I had some awesome low mana cards in play and just bullied my way with relatively high damage in a short space of time.
My opponent showed the dangers of playing low health cards too, and too few of them! Also he didn't use his 5 mana summoner effectively.
He lost it!
Melee Mayhem final thoughts...
It's good for maxed out 0 mana cards in low mana battles!
