The Battle

Battle Rulesets	Description	Info
EXPLOSIVE WEAPONRY	All Monsters have the Blast ability.	The best strategy is to have fast monsters with Snipe, Sneak, Opportunity. For defense, Shield and Void will come in handy.
KEEP YOUR DISTANCE	Monsters with Melee attack may not be used in battles.	Keep no attack or higher HP monsters in the front. Keep higher speed Magic monsters with abilities like Flying, Dodge, Blind in the front
FOG OF WAR	Monsters lose the Sneak and Snipe abilities.	A good tank and a balanced line up of Magic and Ranged monsters is the trick to win in this ruleset. Use monsters with Opportunity. Keep your monsters in an ascending order of their HP.

Lineup

Lorem ipsum

Card	Strategy
	Lily Shieldpaw - The latest Dragon summoner with two interesting abilities, Triage and Camouflage always an interesting combination. The main reason was to select it the Camouflage, cause with that ability I could control the hitting order of the enemy.
	Baakjira - My favorite tank monster of the water monsters. Very good health with heal and void and good support abilities. Ideal when melee monsters are not available.
	Oshuur Constantia - Nowadays started to rent this card and I like it more and more. I always prefer magic monsters and for 7 Mana is a good deal, healing and resurrect are very good support skills and it was a very good fit for the second position cause reflect shield ability.
	Djinn Oshannus - The all-time favorite legendary reward card with very good speed and good magic damage. I use it as the third tank in this game.
	Gargoya Devil - A good high damage monster, but maybe there were better options for this game.
	Riverboat Captain - It was a mistake, I should put a different monster here (see below), it is "lost" his blast ability and without it it is not a strong monster.
	Chaos Dragon - My favorite big mana chaos dragon monster. I hoped it is a good fit for this ruleset with the big magic damage.

Battle - Replay

Did your strategy work? What will you try differently next time?

No. I should put more defense in my team, see the two armor monster in this scenario:
