Odd Ones Out: Kelya Frendul is in

This is an Equal Opportunity ruleset game so All Monsters have the Opportunity ability.
Speed and HP is the trick here: higher speed will let you target enemy's low HP monster first, opening the way for your slower monsters to deal damage to higher HP enemy monsters. Monsters who have two attack types should always be preferred.

This is an Odd Ones Out ruleset game so Only Monsters with odd Mana costs may be used in battles.
There are no special tricks for this ruleset, but having an idea of mana points of a few monsters helps in predicting what your opponent can and cannot use.

Pos 1 Monster: Coeurl Lurker

Abilities:
Taunt - All enemy Monsters target this Monster (if they are able to)
Dodge - Has an increased chance of evading Melee or Ranged attacks.
+25% Dodge vs melee/ranged
Phase - Magic attack can miss this Monster (using the same hit/miss calculation as for Melee and Ranged attacks)

I want some predictability so I picked it for Taunt. It's also great to evade attacks, including magic attacks.

Pos 3 Monster: Kulu Mastermind

Abilities:
Weapons Training - Adjacent monsters gain half this Monster's attack if they have no attacks themselves
Opportunity - It may attack from any position and will target the enemy Monster with the lowest health.
Shield - Reduced damage from Melee and Ranged attacks.
Attack damage gets halved (rounded up), except attack 1 which deals 0 damage
Reduces the Thorns damage to 1

I picked Kulu Mastermind to train Noa the Just and Merdaali Guardian deal melee attacks.

Pos 5 Monster: Venari Marksrat

Abilities:
Martyr - When this Monster dies, adjacent Monsters get +1 to all stats
