BATTLE MAGE SECRETS Weekly Challenge with Reverse Speed with Obsidian
Reverse Speed ruleset
Description:
Units with lower speeds will attack before units with higher speeds. Attack Accuracy based on speed will also be reversed.
Units with the Bloodlust ability will increase speed after killing a unit.
Avoid using Slow as this will help your opponent.
The Battle Ruleset
Reverse Speed: Monsters with the lowest Speed attack first and have the highest chance of evading attacks.
This is a low mana ruleset game and four color is available to play, which is the Fire, Water, Earth and the Life Splinters. One of the ruleset completely removed the abilities of all the summoners, so the most important factor was to choose a Splinter with the slowest monsters, so they will be able to attack first in every round.
The mana cap didn't give me all the options to choose from, so I just picked the cheapest and slowest monsters with a reliable tank. 😀
My Team Composition
The Obsidian would be a perfect summoner without the Silenced Summoners ruleset, because she would give me one magic attack to all of my monsters, but currently she is just a four mana summoner who will let me to choose monsters from the Earth deck.
Lord Arianthus is a pretty solid tank for this battle, because he has all the protection abilities with some Magic Reflect as well on top of that.
The Shield is amazing against the melee and ranged monsters, becaause it will halves all of their incoming damage.
The Void has a similar effect, but against the magic attacks.
I had a bit of left over mana, so I choosed the Failed Summoner as my off-tank in case my Lord Arianthus wouldn't take any more damage. This monster cost only 2 mana and he also has the Magic Reflect ability to give hard times to all the enemy maggic attack monsters.
The Wood Nymph is my number one healer who will give a lot of sustain for my tank. If she is able to heal enough on him this battle would be very easy.
Queen Mycelia is another support monster for four mana and her most important ability is the Protect, which will give two armor points to all of her teammates. This might be enough to defend my monsters against an enemy Sneak or Snipe attack.
The Djinn Biljka is my main damage dealer, because he is my only monster who has two damage and nobody is able to target him thanks to his Camouflage ability.
Doctor Blight is one of the most usable monster in the whole game, because he cost only four mana and he has the Affliciton ability, which means that none of the enemy healers could heal their target.
His Poison is also nice, because he will damage two poison damage at the end of the round if he is able to trigger that on his target.
The Battle

My strategy was to bring a solid tank and cheap monsters with low speed to acquire the first row attacking my opponent monsters who is happen to choose the same Splinter like me. The most important difference between us is our main tank, so let's see which one of that works better.
Me and my opponent was both lucky putting the Affliction on both of our tanks, so the healers wouldn't do their heal on them.
My opponent brought three magic attack monster which prooved to be a huge mistake, because my Arianthus killed them in the second round with his Magic Reflect ability.
Without any heal his Flesh Golem died quite quickly even thought he is one of the strongest tank in the Earth Splinter. 😀
Do you like Reverse Speed? Why or why not?
I like this kind of ruleset, because it helps me to pick slow monsters who will be the first in this battle and many times peoples are not paying enough attention for this ruleset and they are picking what they are usually do and they will struggle to hit the slower monsters.
