This post is an entry to the BATTLE MAGE SECRETS Weekly Challenge!

CHALLENGE RULES

RULESET: EARTHQUAKE

Description: All non-flying units take 2 physical damage at the end of every turn.

Info: Snared units are considered non-flying. Since the damage given is physical, it can be reduced to 1 if the unit has the shield ability.

The Battle

Battle Rulesets	Description	Info
BLOOD AND SUNDER	All units gain Corrosive Ward.	When hit with a Melee attack, unit does 2 armor damage to the attacker, and max armor of the attacker is reduced by 2.
EARTHQUAKE	Non-flying Monsters take 2 Melee damage at the end of each round.	Using monsters with Flying or Heal is the trick for this ruleset, but if you are unable to choose such monsters, use monsters that have high HP and high damage. Don't keep heal units up front. Shield has a very important role. Keep monsters with Flying in last positions when Earthquake has done enough damage to both sides.
TARGET PRACTICE	All Ranged and Magic attack Monsters have the Snipe ability.	Keep a no attack, Magic or Ranged monster in position 2 with Shield, Void, Magic Reflect, Return Fire. Triage helps in this ruleset.

Lineup

It was a mid-mana game with the new Blood and Sunder ruleset, I am not an experienced player in this ruleset.

Card	Strategy
	Lux Vega - Armor is the key in Earthquake games, if you don't have flying.
	Scavo Hireling - Good armor support unit, but maybe it not was the best choice for this game.
	Chaos Agent - Good low mana tank or backline tank, it was a filler for 1 mana.
	Pelacor Bandit - One the best 3 mana monsters in this game. The speed with flying and with decent stats and especially important in this game. I put it in almost every low and middle-mana water team.
	Doctor Blight - The doctor is a camouflage monster, with a magic attack. I think he was an average fit in this game.
	Deeplurker - Water is my favorite splinter and Deeplurker is one of the reasons. It has huge damage with poison, an ideal choice for 6 mana.
	Baakjira - My favorite tank monster of the water monsters. Very good health with heal and void and good support abilities. In this case I used it as a backline tank.
