Hello again, my coffee loving friends. If Silenced Summoners removes all abilities and effects of summoners, the Back to Basics rule is it's equivalent. Back to Basics removes all abilities for the units which makes this a battle of the better summoner.

Since it's a battle of the better summoner, then there's no one better than the burning commander from Untamed set, Yodin Zaku. Not only he gives good stats, the ability also works on every attacks making it the strongest summoner in the entire game.

STRATEGY

---

Since summoner effects still work, it would be best too use multiple range units that is compatible with Yodin Zaku. I also used two tanks in the front since range units cannot attack while in the front. Losing my tank would be really bad and I want to make my range units as safe as possible while they deal the damage.

Alternative Strategy: Actually, my opponent's build was not bad. A mix of damage is good and hard to counter. There was just a big difference in power between the summoners and that's why I won this game. If I used a different summoner than Yodin Zaku, I am sure I would lose this game.

Quick Stats

Level 1: Legendary Summoner. Allows level 1 common, level 1 rare, level 1 epic and level 1 legendary. +1 Range: All friendly Units have increased 1 Range damage +1 Health: Gives all friendly Units +1 Melee attack Blast: Does additional damage to Units adjacent to the target Unit

Blast	Blast	Blast
1. Level 1: Main tank of my team. He's interchangeable with Ferox Defender and mainly is there to block and absorb the opponent's damage.	2. Level 3: Even though Ferox Defender cannot attack, I added him because I wanted a high health unit as a second tank. Even though there's no Earth element, Water and Life are still active so I was preparing for a lot of magic damage and high health would help a lot when there's no abilities involved.	3. Level 1: Another high health unit but this time, a range unit that is compatible with Yodin Zaku.

Blast	Blast	Blast
4. Level 2: One of the best units to partner with Yodin Zaku due to his high health and damage.	5. Level 2: His health is quite lower so he was placed a bit on the back. His high damage tough I very useful in this battle.	6. Level 2: Last is another high damage range unit that is compatible with Yodin Zaku. Same as the others, I added him for the damage.
