BATTLE MAGE SECRETS : MELEE MAYHEM RULESET

Rather than restrict the ordinary battle rules, Melee Mayhem open loosen the rules by allowing melee cards to attack from position other than front row. It does meant a lot because now a complete melee cards formation could deliver their full damage without need for Reach, Opportunity, or Sneak. But one thing to remember, the attack will only be directed toward the front row; which means they will be prone to being trapped by card with Shield or Thorns ability. So let's take a further look into this ruleset.

We both engaged with the same Splinter and summoner so basically both of us will be drowned in health debuff and damage debuff. I decided to pull Cursed Windeku as its important to have powerful `Tanker`. But with 2 mana left, I have no choice but to take 1 mana melee cards for the rear row. There will be Corpse Fiend, Cursed Slimeball, and Carrion Shade. At lest all of them are melee which will contribute to damage due to Melee Mayhem. My only concern was that Crypt Beetle possessed Shield which will nullified all of their damage.

My opponent rather decided to take inferior Tanker which is Crypt Beetle. Revealer follow in the 2nd row. It could be decisive card, because any consecutive Stun can deliver my formation into defeat. Carrion Shade in the last row seemed more as a canon fodder.

The 1st round run in slow pace. Cursed Windeku strike with minimum damage dut to Crypt Beetle thick Shield. But the Thorns ability have proven useful as it deals extra damage an destroy Crypt Beetle armor entirely. Revealer managed to cast Stun leaving Cursed Windeku stay still for the following turns. Carrion Shade make a suicide attack as it 1 damage got countered with the Thorns ability.

Revealer cast another spell into Cursed Windeku but this time it didn't trigger the Stun. Crypt Beetle missed his attack which are good thing because it would survive another round while allowing Revealer to chip away Cursed Windeku health.

Cursed Windeku finally sent down another attack that put Crypt Beetle end for good. With Revealer have to step up now, the chances for winning become slimmer for my opponent. My triple rear melee make a follow up strike right into Revealer depleting it health into 1 health remaining.

With only 1 health remaining, there's no chances for my opponent to survive the incoming attack. And so the fate is sealed.

Melee mayhem really stir up chaos into the battle. A whole melee formation brawl, beating up one after another. But we could see how my melee cards got trapped against Crypt Beetle with its Shield, making their attack become nullified. Care must be taken when using melee cards entirely to avoid being trapped similar to this situation.
