Hello Splinterlands
Happy weekend from my side, it is surprising to see the harmattan back at this period of the month, it has never happen before and it seems this harmattan comes along with sickness cos some of my friends and loved ones already complaining of malaria and catarrh, i can feel my body system changing too but i gotta shake it off with medicine before it get too serious...
While playing rank battles yesterday, i was given a crazy rule which prompted me to also use a crazy line up, when craziness becomes too much, it becomes something worthy of sharing for others to watch lol....
These were the three crazy rule set, imagine having Aimless, Wands out and Tis but scratches as a rule set in a battle, the first rule means all the monsters have the scattershot ability which makes their attack unpredictable and random, the second rule means only monsters with magic can be used and the last rule indicate cripple ability, when a monster is attacked, he loses one health permanently which can not be restored with healing or cleansing...
When i saw the rule, it was hard for me to make a choice of the right splinter to use.. We all know how the water splinter is the best when it comes to magic because it has many strong magic monsters but the other two rules is not just about high power, it requires strategy!
I needed to protect my monsters and tank heal is kind of useless because the opponent may not attack the tank, i decided to opt for Mimosa nightshade the death legendary summoner with the Void ability...
The Void ability is a threat to magic monsters because it reduce their attacks on the monsters possessing it, so mimosa was used mainly for this purpose but there is another ability it has that seems useful which is the Affliction.... Just incase the opponent use monsters that can heal themselves in this battle... The affliction will take care of them by stopping them from healing!
The opponent came with the water splinter and from his line up and the monsters he used, it can be deduced he was more into attacks and speed.... He came with 2 monsters that has the swiftness ability which boost the speed of all his monsters, he also used a monster with the protect ability which seems useless because all the monsters have magic attacks so armor is kind of useless....
He came with Ruler of the seas known for his blast, silence and swiftness ability and also used prismatic energy as his tank due to the magic reflect and void ability it possess.
This is one monster that makes player think twice before using monster attacks in battle, it is so hard to be killed by magic monster because of its void ability and the magic reflect it possess kills its attackers.... I was not surprised that the opponent used it too, we all know how important it is in magic only rule set....
It is also a monster with high speed so higher chance of it being one of the first monster to attack in fierce battle....
A monster with death and darkness hovering all around him, it poses as a threat to monster with 10 mana or above due to the giant killer ability that it possess, it also has a magic reflect ability which is the reason why i use it and thanks to the mimosa summoner that gives him the void ability too, so he is kind of stronger than prismatic in this battle!
If the opponent had use more monsters with 5 magic power, he would have regret it especially if they keep attacking djinn because he also have the forcefield ability that makes an attack that is 5 and above only reduce one health from him.
The phantom is among the oldest reward card that ever existed and it also used to be one of my favorite back then... It is very important in this battle for his silence ability which is needed to weaken the opponent magic power and also it has a long health which makes it impossible for the opponent to take it down easily....
His silence ability is a game changer, it increases my chance of winning the battle...
This monster is small but mighty, i expected the opponent to come up with blast monsters and the revealer has the reflection shield so it is immune to all blast except he is the target... it also has the immunity so it is immune to all negative stats....He was able to stun the opponent djinn oshannus and that seems to be one of his fastest and strong attacker...
I was reluctant to use this monster because of his low health but got tempted because of the other amazing stas it possess, it has magic reflect, blast and redemption which means as long as he is not the targeted monster, he will stay long on the battle field as blast can't affect him but it also possess the blast ability and that help in defeating one out of the opponent monsters..
If at all it get to die, all the opponent monsters will suffer one health damage which is fair enough...
Last but not the least is the Magi necrosi
I love this card for many reasons!
Camouflage: Imagine that feeling of knowing that your monster is safe from all attacks until it is the last man standing on the battle field or it falls in the first place... Hence the reason why i placed it at the far end to make sure it is the last monster to be in the first position...
Magic + snipe: We have many range snipers but the magic snipers are just 3 Death elemental an untamed card, Dwarven wizard a promo card and Magi necrosi but magi is better than the other two, it has the stun possess by dwarven and elemental only possess silence ability.. Magi has 3 unique abilities, the thirdability is the oppress that is deadly to non- attack monsters....*
So in this battle i knew it can't be the target except the blast touches it and that didn't happen!
I won the battle but i lost two out of my monsters, the kain hace which is the most vulnerable due to his low health and my tank prismatic energy which is likely to receive most of the attacks since it is my first card.
