Weekly BATTLE MAGE SECRETS Challenge with Up Close and Personal

Rulset: Up Close and Personal

Only units with melee attacks can be used. Use Thorns and Demoralize to counter melee attacks. Units with 2 types of attacks (including melee) can be used.

In this battle challenge my strategy is very simple as I chose lot of malee attack monsters with high health and some extra abilities. So, I check my card collection and chose death team for this battle. As I think that in my death team I have some balance monsters cards combinations. So firstly I must choose a summoner which helps to increase my cards states so I chose death summoner THADDIUS BROOD as this summoner reduce one health and one magic attack to all enemy monster cards. So for this Up Close and Personal ruleset it is a best choice. My enemy brought water summoner KELYA FRENDUL which increase 1 shield and 1 speed from my all enemy monsters cards so this battle was death vs water summoners.

As I was using death summoner so I checked my death monsters cards and chose some high attack malee monsters with some extra ability. As this battle was low mana 29 so my options to chose monsters cards were limited.

In this battle for tank position my best choice was CURSED WINDEKU 2 malee attack, 3 speed and 9 health with thorn ability. On 2nd position I used HARKLAW 2 malee attack, 3 shield and 9 health with shield ability. On 3rd position I used PHANTASM 2 malee attack, 4 speed and 7 health with flying attack ability. On 4th position I used PELACOR DECEIVER one malee attack, 3 speed and 8 health with flying ability. So in this battle my all hopes lied on my flying ability monster card PHANTASM. I hoped that my this monster would eliminate enemy tank card quickly. I also hoped that my cards would not miss any attack and my enemy would not have any healer card. Thanks to my summoner my enemy all monster cards reduce 1 magic attack and health. So we discuss our today's battle lineup one by one in next section.

In this battle I used THADDIUS BROOD RARE Death Summoner as it reduced one magic attack and one health to all enemy monsters card. This summoner is helpful in all ruleset and works well to reduced the magic attack.

In this battle I used CURSED WINDEKU RARE Death Unit with 2 malee attack, 9 health and 3 speed. This card is level 1 and also have thorn ability so this card was a best option for this battle.

On 2nd position I used HARKLAW LEGENDARY Death Unit with 2 malee attack, 9 health, 3 shield and 2 speed. This card also has shield ability so this card became our 2nd tank card in this battle.

On 3rd position I used PHANTASM COMMON Death Unit with 2 malee attack, 7 health and 4 speed. This card is very helpful in all mana battels with flying ability.

On 4th position I used PELACOR DECEIVER COMMON Death Unit with one malee attack, 8 health and 3 speed. This card also has flying ability which is helpful in earthquake ruleset.

I think that I brought best team in this battle but my opponent also brought a compact but balanced team with better choice of cards. Only card placement matters in this battle as I started with strong thorn ability tank card and my opponent also chose a strong tank card DIEMONSHARK 2 malee attack, 6 shield and 8 health with trample ability.

In round one both teams stayed strong and no one lost any monster card. In this round both teams tank cards were damage and my tank card thorn ability very helpful in this round.

In 2nd round I lost my tank card but my 2nd card HARKLAW is very strong with shield ability.

In 3rd round I lost one more back end card and my enemy also lost 2 more cards.

In 4th round I stay strong thanks to shield and flying ability and my enemy lost one more monster card.

So in last and 7th round my team eliminated enemy all cards and won this close battle in 7th round thanks to flying ability.

I think that I brought a perfect team combination in this battle and as expected my flying ability monster card performed well. My enemy also brought a descent team but only difference in this battle was a flying ability cards and earthquake ruleset. So this was a close match and I won this battle in 7th round.
