Hi folks just wanted to write down my thoughts and processes in some rulesets in some of my silver 3 fights maybe it will help me improve and quicker thinking.

So this is the fight in question

Ruleset was Melee's all have sneak and Mana cap is 44. So when i immediately saw this player and checked through his last 5 battle history's i saw he was using legendry's and thought i was in for a tough fight and he had 45k power so i figured some of the cards were atleast his.

Now the ruleset doesn't limit any attack types but i figured sneak would be the key or my downfall here especially if he throws in a major tank unit at the end that has thorns.

The reason i used camilla sungazer was to immediately reduce the amount of damage if and any melee damage dealer was going to do with sneak cause i figured who wouldn't play a sandworm as evident on the other side.
Going by this logic my next auto include was the Djinn Chwala to deal extra damage on any of the melee's he would pick with thorns, what was surprising was the Fineas Rage which i guess was odd pick but hey i also picked him but placed him in the 3rd position since he could still attack anyways with sneak.

Now since we had such a large mana Cap i figured since every melee had sneak why not go for a big bulky tank even in 2nd place hence the elven defender so that my middle line especially my pyromance would still be protected.
Fineas Rage as a 2 damage with fast speed and tanky health of 8 i thought was a decent pick if i wanted to decimate his backline and if it ever got to him he could still tank a few rounds.
Goblin Shaman was in addition to the combo of expecting them to use some melee to sneak attack my Djinn Chwala so i wanted to reduce their health as much as possible so that they would die just as fast as possible.
Finally Pyromancer i always thought was a solid card in these high mana duels and deals blast hence any melee attacking into my Djinn Chwala would get splash damage and die even faster.

As you can see in the replay my deal finished off his backline before he even had a chance to kill my tank, and i would attribute the main win condition to Djinn and Camilla the reduction in attack and thorns quickly whittled down his team because of the ruleset sneak.
