Hello splinterlands gaming fan!
This is my weekly battle share challenge submission with the theme Briar Patch.

https://splinterlands.com/?p=battle&id=sl_2d59162beeb2794788558b6aecd84ebb

Previous week has been very good for me. Not only I pulled couple of legendary even gold foil but also able to purchase 20k DEC- Batteries before ending sale. This purchase was completed by using Voucher. Today I too completed my goal reaching 28k SPS. This time SPS market price is down that is $0.028.
Oh! I forget to talk about weekly battle submission. To be honest whenever we look for any worth battle for particular battle rule set then hardly be get it. I played over than 41 battle continuously yet did not get Briar Patch battle ruleset. I was hopeless that time and stopped battling and after one hour again tried and very first battle I got that rule set. Now going to share my that battle with you. It was not a tough battle and was not a appropriate opponent yet decided to share it because there was no alternate battle for me.

BRIAR PATCH

It's surname is Thorn. There are couple of Monster that comes with this ability. If you must have remembered that there is a Dice summoner CROWLING MYLORE that comes with Briar PATCH ability and provide thorn ability to all his Monsters. Briar Patch battle rule set is also similar that in which all Monsters get this ability and if enemy Melee monster attack got damages by thorn.

MY SUMMONER

This is my all time favourite Legendary summoner. Sometime I like to use it in low mana battle ruleset. No doubt everyone would like to go with CONQUEROR JACEK due to its Scattere Shot and two additional speed. This is one of the most useful Legendary Fire Summoner from Chaos Legion Edition. It's market value is $18.90 for single card. In initial time its price was $22.38. I was using level lll summoner. Really it is very useful summoner in Blast and Back to Basics battle ruleset. Fortunately it was a Back to Basics and Briar Patch battle ruleset so this summoner was going to be crucial for this battle because there is pretty good Magic and Range attack Monsters in Fire unit.

BATTLE RULESET

Only 31 mana was given to play this battle, in which there were 3 types of battle rules. The first battle rule was Back To Basic¹, the second battle rule was Taking Sides² and the third was BRIAR PATCH³. In the Back to Basics battle rule, any card that has any ability will be disable in this battle. Neutral monsters cannot be used because of the Taking Sides ruleset. And due to the Briar Patch battle rule, all cards will have the Thorns ability, in which when a card makes a Melee attack on a card, it itself will receive 2 damage. Because of this battle rule, anyone rarely uses Melee attack cards. Only 3 elements were active for this battle ruleset, Fire, Water and Life. However I decided to go with Fire to use Summoner's Scattereshot and Speed.

TEA COMBINATION AND CARD SELECTION

It was 31 Mana battle gameplay, in which I was using six monster. Three Monster with magic attack, one monster with Melee attack despite Briar Patch ruleset and two monster without attack in two/three Mana with pretty good health and armor. My priority was backline Masters attack that is why I placed first three position Melee and to without attack monster. There was no neutral Monster inside this battle only from fire unit.

■CERBERUS
■SCAVO CHEMIST
■VERNARI HEATSMITH
■TECHNOWIZOLOGIST
■DJINN INFERNI
■FLAME IMP

With this combination I was against Wraith Grandmaster. My opponent was week rather than my team's summoner. Both team were using legendary summoner.

CERBERUS

This card is a great card and I have used it level five. In which he is doing three milli attacks with 4 attacking speed and only four mana. It has two types of ability of its own first is HEAL and second is RETALIATE. In Heal ability, it increases its own health every round. In the Retaliate ability, when a card makes a Melee attack on it, it immediately attacks it on the counterattack. I put this card in first place. Because there were three battle rules to play this battle, the first one is Back to Basic, the second one is Taking sides, and the third one is Briar Patch. Because of the first rule, none of his abilities will be useful in this battle. And because of the third battle rule, Briar Patch, it has the Thorns ability, in which if a card attacks it with Melee, it will itself receive 2 damage. Because in this battle I have used 3rd level CONQUEROR JACEK summoner which has piercing and scattershot ability so my Cerberus also has piercing and scattershot ability.

SCAVO CHEMIST

It does not have any attacking ability. But because of my summoner and battle rules, it has Piercing, Scattershot, and Thorns abilities in this battle. I have used this card at level 6, so it has two abilities, the first one is Cleanse, in which it removes the negative effect from the first position card of its team. And the other SLOW. In this ability, it reduces the attack speed of the opposing team. But since the battle rule is back to basic, both of these abilities are of no use. This card is of two mana, its speed is three and health is four. I put this card on the second position.

VERNARI HEATSMITH

Venari HEATSMITH is of 3 mana. And in this battle I have used it at level 8. By the way, he also has 2 types of abilities at level 8. Void Armor and Amplify. In the Void Armor ability, when a card makes a magic attack on it, the shield will be damaged instead of its health. And in AMPLIFY ability , Increases Magic Reflect, Return Fire, and Thorns damage to all enemy monsters by 1.But due to the back to basic battle rule, both of these abilities are of no use in this battle. However, it has Thorns, Scattershot, and Piercing abilities due to the Battle Rule and Summoner. This card is placed on the third position.

TECHNOWIZOLOGIST

It is of 6 mana and I have used it at level 6 in this battle. Makes three magic attacks with three attacking speeds at level 6 and has 5 health. By the way, it has 2 great abilities STUN and FURY. Due to the Stun Ability When a Monster with Stun hits a target, it has a chance to stun the target causing it to skip its next turn. And in the Fury ability, it deals double damage when the card receiving the attack has the Taunt ability. However, due to the Battle Rule being back to basic, both of these abilities are of no use. But it has Thorns, Piercing and Scattershot abilities in this battle, which it got because of the Battle Rule and the summoner CONQUEROR JACEK. I put this card on the fourth position.

DJINN INFERNI

This is my favorite and very useful card. In this battle, I have used it on level five. It is of 7 mana. And does 4 magic attacks with 4 attacking speed. It has four health. My favorite card is because it has two great abilities at level 5, the first is the Giant Killer ability and the second is Stun. But due to going back to the basics, both these abilities are also of no use. I find the back to basic rule to have magic attack cards that are beneficial, so I put them in fifth place. Because it has Thorns, Piercing and Scattershot abilities which it got due to Battle Rule and Summoner. Due to the scattershot ability, it attacks any card. And the reason for keeping him at number 5 is so that he can get maximum attack.

FLAME IMP

Flame imp card is 3 mana. I used it level five so it is doing two magic attacks with 4 speed. Although it only has two health. When used at level 5, it has two abilities, Flying and Swiftness. Flying ability has an increased chance of evading Melee or Ranged attacks from Monsters who do not have the Flying ability. And Swiftness increases the Speed ​​of all your friendly monsters. But in this encounter it has only three abilities, the first of which is Thorns ability, Piercing ability and Scattershot ability. In Thorns ability, When hit with a Melee attack, does damage back to the attacker. In the Scattershot ability, Ranged and Magic attacks hit a random enemy target. In the Piercing ability, If Melee or Ranged attack damage is in excess of the target's Armor, the remainder will damage the target's Health. I kept this card last.

DO I LIKE BRIAR PATCH BATTLE RULESET? WHY OR WHY NOT?

Yes of course Barrier page, Revers speed are my favourite battle ruleset. Sometimes we get Close up and Personal battle rules at that time it's become very difficult to choose our team because there be only option for using Melee Monsters. That time the role of Monsters with Reflect shield became important. I think with different rule set it always be interesting to setup power field with using appropriate Monsters and summoners.

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

It was just 31 Mana battle rules at game with three important rules set. I was battling in back to basics, Briar Patch and Take a side battle rule set. My priority was using high health Monster at first position. Due to six level summoner I was already short two health, so I decided to use cerebrous at first position. After that one monster in two Mana with four health and after that one more 3 Mana monster with three Armor and four health at third position.Rest of the Monsters were magic attack Monsters with pretty good attack. It was a speed base summoner so I was going to destroy soon the couple of Monster from opponent's squad. Piercing ability summoner helped me a lot for comprehensive win. Overall it can be said that it was speed and Piercing that my made my way more easy.
