Hello splinterlands gaming lovers!
This is my weekly battle mage secrets submission with the Theme **Melee **Mythem.

I have remember, when I started my splinterland journey that time Melee Mythem ruleset used to be a very important rule as there was no plenty of ruleset that we used to get today.
Players feel happy by using Melee Monsters from any position.
Now we are getting lots of ruleset that used to be provided by the summoners or by the Monsters. There are more thrill increasing in splinterland. The situation is that we get three ruleset in a single battle. There was plenty of option to choose splinter as all splinter were active for this battle. I checked opponent's recently played team and decided to use Thaddius Brood.
In this battle there is also three ruleset that I played and sharing today. Stampede that is an effective rule set, especially for the Trample Melee Monsters. Unfortunately I was using just a single monster with Trample ability.

THADDIUS BROOD AS MY SUMMONER..

My priority was not using Melee Monsters but I want to keep silence to the opponent team by using Silenced ability summoner and monster. Actually when I checked the opponent's recently played team, then I found that my opponent was using maximum time magic Monsters along with magic additional summoner Storm Bringer, that's why I decided to use Thaddius Brood as my summoner. This is a rare summoner in four Mana that provides -1 Magic attack and -1 health for opposition team. With the combination of weaken and Silenced, Thaddius Brood becomes more effective. That's why it is my favourite summoner against magic Monsters.

BATTLE RULESET AND MANA

It was just 44 Mana game play in which there were plenty of ruleset available. Even all splinter were active for this gameplay. My priority was using maximum card with magic attack and two Demoralize ability monster in Melee Mythem ruleset.. Here is 3 ruleset-

MELEE MYTHEM

This is an amazing ruleset in which all Melee Monsters can perform from any position but they target only to the front monster, except of Opportunity and Sneak Monsters.

STAMPEDE
The Trample ability can trigger
multiple times per attack the trampled Monster is killed.

TIS BUT SCRATCHES
The all Monster gets the cripple ability and with each attack they cripple one health each time.

TEAM COMBINATION AND CARD SELECTION

It was 44 Mana gameplay with Melee Mythem ruleset but my focus was not over Melee Monsters rather my priority was magic attack. I choose my summoner and monster taking magic magic attack. Yes I kept some precaution taking Melee attack that's why given place two Demoralize Monster Disintegrator and Harklaw. My set up was for magic Monsters as I noticed their recently played team that were maximum time magic Monsters.
It was the combination of three magic Monster including two magic reflect , one card without attack in the form of Lord Arianthus and two monster with Demoralize ability. To reduce the impact of Magic Monsters I was using Silenced ability monster Phantom Soldier. You will see that my guess was perfect and my opponent was using maximum magic Monsters. Now it was an easy task for me because these magic Monsters are not going impactful over my void ability Monsters.
●Lord Arianthus
●Prismatic Energy
●Phantom Soldier
●Harklaw
●Disintegrator
●Doctor Blight

LORD ARIANTHUS

This is my best and favorite card from Neutral Element. It's name is LORD ARIANTHUS.However, this card does not have any attack abilities. But because it's a legendary card and I used it at level 3, it has four abilities of its own. Which is enough to win any battle. It has Shield ability, it has VOID ability. It has Magic Reflect and Thorns ability. It is only of five mana. There is one speed and it has a total of 8 health. I use this card in the first position. In the Shield ability, it reduces the range and damage of Melee attacks received by the opposing team. Here in void ability, magic attack damage is reduced. Due to having magic reflect ability, when a card attacks magic on it, it reflects and damages it.

PRISMATIC ENERGY

This is another Rare useful Neutral monster with magic reflect. During battle I always get couple of the magic monster having pretty good magic attack. I was thinking if my opponent comes with magic monster then it can be a useful at second position. Likewise whenever I have to battle against Magic additional summoner then I use this monster with the combination of Lord Arianthus. It was Keep your distance ruleset, so it was going to be impactful in this battle. This monster comes with two Magic attack, Four Speed and 10 Health at level-5. This is one of the most effective magic monster especially against Magic attack.

PHANTOM SOLDIER

This is an epic Monster from death unit in 8 Mana. This Epic Monster comes with 10 health three magic attack and three speed. In case of abilities then it comes with Void, Flying and Silence. I was using Level 5 of it to reduce the impact of Magic Monsters. It is in my favourite list and whenever are I have to battle against magic additional summoners and monsters then sure like to use this Epic monster. You will see the use of this monster in this battle. Thaddius Brood and Phantom Soldier made helpless to Alric Stormbringer and their magic army.

HARKLAW

It is a Legendary Melee Monster from Death unit. It is also 8 Mana monster that provides two Melee attack, two speed, 3 armor and 9 health at level 3. I like this Monster very much because of it's Demoralize, Immune and Shield ability. It was the second Monster that I was using with Demoralize ability. I placed this Monster at 4th number, so that I can use its demorlize for a long time. To be honest, if I try to use maximum card with magic attack then it was possible that I could lost the battle. Melee Monsters helped me alot to remove magic reflect Monsters of opponent side.

DISINTEGRATOR

It was another Demoralize Monster that I was using with the combination of Harklaw. Actually I was a little careful taking Melee attack in Melee Mythem ruleset that's why I given place to Disintegrator in battle squad. It is a 7 Mana Melee monster from Neutral unit. At level ⁶ this common Monster provides Demoralize and Trample ability. Cripple was another ability that we are getting from ruleset. This common Monster comes with three Melee Attack, 2 speed 3 armor and six health. It was Stampede ruleset, so it proved impactful for this battle. There was no Melee monster in opponents battle squad, so just I was going to use it's Melee attack not Demoralize. I think it was a little between magic Monsters and magic reflect.

DOCTOR BLIGHT

This is a Legendary card. Which I have used 3 level. It only costs 4 mana, does two magic attacks with one speed, and has only four health. I found this to be the most dangerous card in this battle. It has a total of 5 abilities. Four of his own and one he got because of the battle rule. Its abilities are as follows: Affliction, Camouflage, Poison, Scavenger and Fury. In affliction ability, when a card with Affliction ability attacks a card of the opposing team, then Affliction is applied on it, that is, then that card will not be able to increase its health. Due to the Camouflage ability, no card of the opposing team will attack it unless it is in the first position. Attacks in the Poison ability have a chance to apply poison, which does automatic damage to the target at the beginning of each round after. the poison is applied. In the scavenger ability, any card of the opposition team or your team will be eliminated, then it will increase its health.

DID MY STRATEGY WORKED WELL? WILL I TRY DIFFERENTLY IN NEXT TIME?

For this battle my strategy and plan worked very well. Before stepping down in battle, I always like to check recent played team of opponent. I got that maximum time my opposition team was using Alric Stormbringer, so I decided to use Silenced Summoner and Silence monster. Likewise in Melee Mythem, hardly any player use Melee Monsters. So I was ready with to magic reflect Monsters at first and second position in the form of Lord Arianthus and Prismatic Energy. To support them I added one Silenced monster Phantom Soldier with Thaddius Brood. Yes I made one mistake that I could not include Amplify ability monster in battle squad. My opponent was proved unsuccessful dealing with magic reflect and Void.
You will see that it was first and second position Monster that got damaged from my side. My team got a comprehensive win in 5 round. So I can say that my strategy and plan work very well. Yes I will do some change in next battle with new ruleset.
