RANDOM BATTLE of the season (16#22)

• final battle of this season (anyone has the exact number?) - let's say #16 of the year 2022
  
  
• 21-35% chance of winning according to randomized simulation
• 1 miss for the loss vs. 2 misses for the win
• OWSTER ROTWELL's (un)deadly blows
• 1 HP cliffhanger

1. BATTLE!

combat rule	mana cap	splinters

• mental notes:
  • should avoid defending against ranged monsters
  • low mana cap might force to maximize swift attacks
  • "traditional" deck configuration without any fancy cards
    
    

@infri last 5 picks	@dusi last 5 picks

• mental notes:
  • probably real opponent
    • plays leveled up cards
    • plays GFs, legendaries, promos
    • plays MYLOR CRAWLING, YODIN ZAKU

---

2. STRATEGY?

2.1 defender's potential selection

• 
  • broken arrow rules out YODIN ZAKU
  • prepare for TARSA = decrease melee attack
    • prepare for shield + opportunity = use thorns
• 
  • prepare for OBSIDIAN = decrease or reflect magic
  • prepare for MYLOR CRAWLING = repay with thorns
    • prepare for void/shield + tank heal = delete the back first
• 
  • unconsidered/underprepared
    
    

2.2 attacker's potential selection

• 
  • playing with too many starter cards = try to avoid losing focus points
  • small experience with low mana combos
• 
  • classic MYLOR CRAWLING vs. OBSIDIAN dilemma = omit both
• 
  • defend with ZINTAR MORTALIS + heal/thorns/shield = against TARSA, MYLOR CRAWLING
  • defend with THADDIUS BROOD or OWSTER ROTWELL + sneak/snipe = against OBSIDIAN
    
    

2.3 final decisions

@infri VS. @dusi

2.4 summary

• tackle earth and/or fire opponent (apparently for both of us)

OWSTER ROTWELL	magic reflect	attempt to get ahead by dealing halved magic damage
CURSED WINDEKU	thorns	attempt to overtake melee attacks
SHADOWY PRESENCE		attemt to lure snipers, delay battle for life leech
LIFE SAPPER	life leech	attempt to support tank, prolongate for more reflection
MAGI NECROSI	snipe, camo	attempt to take out the backline
FURIOUS CHICKEN		attempt to protect against sneak attack

3. WINNER!!!

3. #1 - elaborate uselessness

• whole idea with life leech went downhill, as well as sniping the back out one by one
• thankfully, thorns and magic reflect provided protection throughout the whole game

3. #2 - efficiency in inefficiency

• there was a really tight spot for BONE GOLEM to succeed or fail
  • crucial was the first miss and every other damage done
  • might have profited from being just a bystander (although maths say..)

3. #3 - clash of the brains

• outsmarting the game with OWSTER ROTWELL just brings joy to one's heart, haha

• hopefully this activity will get my juices flowing for bigger things i have on my mind!
• this blog started as an epic match recap but emerged into a template for future posts
  • already got some ideas how to present in a more digestible, intuitive, fun to "read" way
    • better organized structure
    • updated visuals
