Splinterlands Social Media Challenge - A Jacek Mirror

Hello everyone! This is my first entry for this week's Splinterlands Social Media Challenge. Today I'm sharing a battle of mine in Ranked Modern Diamond, where we both played Jacek.

It's a Jacek mirror but with very different teams.

This game has the following rule sets: Equal Opportunity, Fire & Regret, and Unprotected. I went with Jacek for the speed advantage. Kelya's armor buff would be irrelevant and Possibilus the Wise with Trample is appealing but the speed difference could hurt. I went with Coeurl Lurker in the front. I expected a lot of melee. Arkemis the Bear, even without armor, is still great with Halving and Forcefield. I knew I wanted to play Ferexian Hero with 2 non-attackers and Iidri Fyre in the back would work great as a second tank. I went with Scavo Hireling as the other non-attacker. Finally, I went with Disintegrator. It seemed the best option for the mana I had left. They went with Tusk the Wide in the front, Chaos Golem and Tenyii Striker next, and 3 ranged monsters, despite the Fire & Regret rule set. Ash Mirage does have Reflection Shield, but the other 2 are very fragile here.

They had more speed because of the 2 archers with Swiftness, but Countess Sinash went to 1 health after the Return Fire and Supply Runner died to one attack. I missed a couple of attacks on Tenyii Striker and they didn't miss any attacks on my Lurker, which died in round 1. In round 2, their Chaos Golem killed my second Taunter but the Redemption was amazing since it defeated Countess and Striker. I killed their Tusk next but missed 2 attacks on Ash Mirage. Next round I was able to take out the Golem and with only a ranged monster, the game was mine.

I checked my odds of winning with Xbot's Battle Vision and it ranged between 85% and 95%. I'd say I have about 90% with this team. I think a clear improvement would be to play Scavo Chemist instead of Scavo Hireling. I didn't expect to see ranged monsters but the Repair also doesn't do anything. I think I prefer the potential of Headwinds and 1 extra health over the potential of Camouflage. It improves my odds to over 95% Tusk the Wide over Disintegrator would improve my odds even more but Disintegrator might be better against other teams. The first change I'm 100% sure I should have made, the other one I'm not so sure.

What do you all think about this game? Would you have done anything different? Let me know in the comments! Thank you for reading!!
