Exploring the Chaos: Neutral Soulbound Rewards

Battle 1: Dumacke Orc

Conditions	Description
Brawl Gold Fray Bronze	39 Mana Cap Available Elements: Fire, Water, Life, Earth, Dragon Link: https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sm_6eTxqPDWqUKk9WJjYqtn&ref=bltzr-wizard-726
Equal Opportunity	All Monsters have the Opportunity ability.
Equalizer	The initial Health of all Monsters is equal to that of the Monster on either team with the highest base Health.
Close Range	Ranged attacks may be used in the first position in battles.

For this 39 mana battle, we have Equal Opportunity, Close Range and Equalizer that makes all the health of the monsters the same and with this kind of rule set Dumacke Orc which originally only have 1 health will copy the health of the monster with the highest health, adding to its armor, makes it a very good tank on certain situations but it also has Shield which was an ability that reduces melee and range damage so makes it more hard to defeat.

Battle 2: Venari Marksrat

Conditions	Description
Diamond League Modern Format	25 Mana Cap Available Elements: Fire, Life, Death, Dragon Link: https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sl_a5a05240fe62a4d9016bc4b0c51adc36&ref=bltzr-wizard-726
Earthquake	Non-flying Monsters take 2 Melee damage at the end of each round.
Target Practice	All Ranged and Magic attack Monsters have the Snipe ability.
Tis But Scratches	All monsters have the Cripple ability.

For the 2^nd battle, we have a 25 mana cap match Earthquake, Target Practice and Tis But Scratches and this favors the use of Venari Marksrat because it will die faster because of the rule set damage and will increase the stats of the adjacent monsters which are Celestial Harpy and Void Dragon in this case and since Venari Marksrat has the Snare it was able to remove the Flying ability from Chaos Dragon which makes it damaged from the rule set.

Battle 3: Clockwork Aide

Conditions	Description
Diamond League Modern Format	22 Mana Cap Available Elements: Life, Earth, Dragon Link: https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sl_767ec5c436846152cf7f7adccece0193&ref=bltzr-wizard-726
Evens Stevens	Only Monsters with even Mana costs may be used in battles.
Briar Patch	All monsters have the Thorns ability.
Target Practice	All Ranged and Magic attack Monsters have the Snipe ability.

For this battle, we have 22 mana cap with Evens Stevens, Briar Patch and Target Practice for the rule set and so I placed Clockwork Aide at the 1^st position since range and magic monsters would not attack this card due to them having Snipe and melee monsters would less likely to be used with monsters having Thorns. At the same time, the Swiftness from Clockwork Aide increases the speed of all monsters which helps Pelacor Conjurer to avoid attacks, being it the monster on the 2^nd position.

Battel 4: Drybone Raider

Conditions	Description
Diamond League Modern Format	99 Mana Cap Available Elements: Water, Earth, Dragon Link: https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sl_593cb80194905fcd31be1dbe10698209&ref=bltzr-wizard-726
Up Close & Personal	Only Monsters with Melee attack may be used in battles.
Aim True	Melee and Ranged attacks always hit their target.

With This battle, we have 99 mana cap and the rule set includes Aim True and Up Close & Personal which limit us to only melee monsters but since Drybone Raider was a melee monster as well as range monster at the same time, it can be used on this rule set and can attack with range damage as it was far from the 1^st position for melee attacks and it can attack twice every turn. Having Shatter also allows Drybone Raider to remove the armor of the target no matter how many it is as it did for Legionnaire Alvar for this match which originally has 9 armor.

Final Thoughts

The New Death Soulbound Reward cards offers new sets of possibilities for the Neutral element with the addition of new abilities they posses adding to the meta as well as the flexibility they poses, being able to be used together with any element. The most notable cards for this set would be Venari Marksrat that allows me to use Martyr on any element and Drybone Barbarian having dual attack type but while also having the Double Strike ability.
