4. Naga Assassin - Ranged Damage Dealer
5. Supply Runner - Ranged Damage Dealer

Strategy:

My strategy for this fight was placing great tank in the front and a lot of quick ranged damage Monsters in the back to maybe take out a Monster before it is able to hit any of mine. I chose the dragon splinter as I had an active rent on the low mana cost Selenia Sky, which gave me access to both dragon and life Monsters.
Even without the Thorn ability is a great tank with high health and nice Armor aswell. Thanks to a win in the nice giveaway stream I was able to upgrade my Supply Runner to level 3 which helped him gain 1 extra point in speed. Special thanks to @marcuswahl for that.

Round 1:

Seems like the opponent had a similar idea. By using Pyre as summoner all the opponents Monster gain 1 speed and with that most of them even outmatch mine. Without its shield ability isn't very scary as a tank, with my high damage team it goes down in the first round without being able to do any damage. My tank on the other hand only lost its shield.

Round 2:

With the tank gone and only ranged damage remaining the opponent would need a lot of dodge luck to be able to tun this around. With 8 speed on the new ranged tank there is at least a slight possibility.....

But luck is not on the opponents side and so this is a quick match with all of the other Monsters falling in Round 2.

Result:

Higher damage and the Djinn Chwala tanking made the difference in this match. My speed strategy did not matter in this match, but I guess having more speed never really hurts in this game either 😉

The Supply Runner is not one of my favorite cards (at least at the level I play on), but because of it being neutral, it is a decent damage card especially for rulesets that block out melee or magic attacks - or make ranged attacks more useful like the Back to Basic in this match.
