STRATEGY

For this battle, my strategy is to strengthen the defense against the magic attackers and power up the backline to create massive damage. Also, I strategize to use magic attacks mostly in order to have a direct attack on all of the monsters. In terms of my defensive state, I focuses it on my tank.

THE MANA RULESET

For this battle, the rules are: 27 mana cap, all elements can be use, and No Standard. The No Standard battle rule means that any cards and elements are can be use as long as the total mana cap is fitted to the required mana cap. Commonly, this kind of rule are for Bronze III rank and below players.

THE FEATURED CARD

CARRION SHADE is a Common Death Monster with No ability at the beginning of its level. This monster relies only on the stats that it has. This monster has 1 melee attack, 2 speed, and 2 health. Looking at its overall characteristics, we can say that this card is too weak to rely on battle. Its melee attack cannot create too much damage and its health cannot also rely on to be the next tank.

As this card continue to level up, it gains more power. At level 3, this monsters gains an ability called Flying. Monsters with Flying ability has increase chance of evading attacks of monsters with no Flying ability. This kind of ability is valuable in battle because there are attacks that can really destroy a monster with just one attack. As this monster reach level 4, this monster gains an additional to its speed, making it more difficult to attack. That is a good thing because the evading chance will get higher. At level 7, this monster gains an additional to its melee attack, making this monster stronger than before.

At level 9, this monster gains an additional to its speed again. Now, its evading chance is higher, making it harder to attack. At its final level, level 10, this monster gains an additional to its health. At that level its has collection power of 2,100 and it contains 400 cards. On this level, I can say that this card is one of the most reliable card at this level and it should be the one to be wreckoned with.

THE BATTLE

ROUND 1: THE NEGATION OF EFFECTS

At the start of the battle, the two summoners contest their abilities. My opponent increases the magic attacks of its monsters but Thaddius Brood negates that effect. Also, with the ability of my summoner, the health of the monsters of my opponent was decreased by 1. Having a minus one health in this crucial battle is a very big deal.

---

As the first round continues, the magic attacks rains on my tank, but luckily its Void ability takes over, leaving most of the damage turns into zero. In counter for that attacks, my monsters attacks but the back line attackers are affected by a force field; creating all the attacks at the first position monster only. At the end of the first round, no monster was eliminated in the game but the two tanks are getting weaker in terms of health.

---

ROUND 2: THE TANKS MADE OF STEEL

For the second round, the exchange of attacks continue and it becomes more intense. The tanks are standing strong and they both try to protect all their monsters. The monsters shows their full power as they continue to exchange attacks, but at the end, he two parties wants to win and no one else wants give up the fight; leaving second round without any monster elimination again.

---

ROUND 3: THE DEATH OF THE FORCE FIELD

The third round started and battle continue to intensify. Every monsters give all their powers in the battle. My monsters continue to attack the tank of my opponent and the monsters of my opponent continue to attack my tank, but due to Void ability, most of their attacks are neglected and reduced. For the tank of my enemy, the faith is different because on this round, the force field dies, leaving the Unicorn Mustang as the new tank.

---

ROUND 4: THE ELIMINATION ROUND I

In round 4, the struggle of the monsters of my enemy really shows. The monsters of my enemy cannot withstand the magic damage given by my monsters. Some of them still survive, but some of them got eliminated in the battle. This only shows how important their tank is, to their strategy. At the end of this round, my tank got eliminated in the game, leaving the Carrion Shade as the new tank in the game.

---

ROUND 5: THE ELIMINATION ROUND II

At the fifth round of this battle, my monsters become so unstoppable. They continue to attack the monsters of my opponent and creating damages all over the places. This battle eliminates the two monsters of my opponent. Carrion Shade also creates its first ever damage in the game as it reduces the life of Unicorn Mustang by 1.

---

ROUND 6: THE DEADLY BATTLE

At the sixth round of this battle, still, no one wants to give up. Even at the very last life of Unicorn Mustang, it still continue to create damage but the magic attacks of my opponent are unstoppable and unavoidable, making it the reason of the winning battle of the Death Splinters.

CONCLUSION

Luckily, my strategy works and everyone make their roles very valuable in the battle. The attacking strategy works. I do not really like the card because I think it will be needed to have a lot of effort first just to make this card very powerful. But on this battle, it did great.
