Start The Season With My Worst Battle Luck

As you can see, both the opponent and I used the same Archon, Cryptic, which is the very definition of RNG, given how it gives the Blind ability on all monster units that gives them 15% chance to miss an attack, along with the -1 in speed that will make both teams slower. In terms of team composition, the opponent and I also share an identical lineup in how we position some of our common cards. The only difference was that the opponent uses Mar Toren Seeker as its tank, and places Anasth Soothsayer for the healing support, making their team more focused on healing.

Meanwhile, I had Commander Slade as my tank, which also has excellent damage, thinking that it is better to finish the battle as fast as I can, before the Burning debilitation takes all my cards. Both of us also uses Jicarilla the Rime to give our tanks the Phase ability, so that they could evade magic attacks.

Round 1 starts, and I thought I had the edge since Commander Slade inflicts 5 damage to Mar Toren Seeker, but as the round ended, the opponent was able to nullify the damage through healing the damage.

On round 2, I still think that I had the upper hand because I was able to hit their tank once again, and while the opponent could just heal it, what they can't easily heal is the backfire damage that missing an attack against Commander Slade, and I thought that was the way that I could defeat my opponent. Unfortunately, I was afflicted with Poison in this round, so aside from Burning, Slade was also losing health from Poison.

I guess, round 3 is where my path to winning finally closes, when Anasth Soothsayer hit an attack. It was not that powerful, but it comes with Dispel, which returns the speed of Slade to 4, making him now more easily susceptible to attacks. It won't matter much if I was able to defeat Mar Toren Seeker, but as you can see, aside from Slade, none of my other attacks have been hitting it. So, at the end of round 3, Slade dies because of Poison and Burning.

And I think you already know what comes after once Slade hits the nail. Without a unit that could evade magic attacks, my team has fallen one by one against the opponent team. The battle lasted a little over 7 rounds, but no matter how my team tried to resist, the battle had become impossible to win when Slade fell into the battle. What's worse is that not only has my team not taken down any unit in the opponent team, but they also came out to the end with full health. A complete and utter defeat, even when their tank did not attack even once.
