Line Up
Here is the line-up I used in this battle challenge. In this battle, the ruleset is Taking Side wherein Neutral Monsters may not be used in battles. The mana cap is 22 only and this gives me limited monster units to be used in this battle. The only active elements to be used are Fire, Water, Life and Death.
 I am currently practicing my cards in preparation for Modern Format and I want to practice using Lorna Shine. I am also thrilled because this is the first summoner that I bought last week for the Life element. Also, because of her Divine Shield buff, my monster card will last more rounds compared to using General Sloan. So my strategy here is to use Magic attack monsters to ignore enemy armor because as per the opponent's previous battles, there is a huge chance that my opponent will use cards with armor. |
|---|
 Since the mana cap is only 22 and I can only play limited monsters, I tried to minimize the mana cost of my tank. And for that reason, I used Pelacor Conjurer because it only costs 2 mana and also has Flying ability to increase the chance of dodging the enemies physical attack. |
|---|
 My monster in second position is also a magic attack monster, Djinn Renova. Aside from raising the HP of my monster unit, it also has a decent amount of HP to tank incoming damage. |
|---|
 Our battle theme is positioned in Position 3. One of the good reason why I picked Time Mage is because of its Slow ability. I usually use Creeping Ooze to slow down the enemy monsters, however in Modern Format, Creeping Ooze is not included. And aside from Baakjira, there is no other monster unit with Slow ability at level 1. And we all know that having better speed is an advantage during battle. Your monster will attack first, heal first and has a higher chance to dodge enemy physical attacks. And take a look at the speed of Time Mage. It already has 4 Speed in Level 1 which is pretty good considering that it also has Slow ability. With that said, I think investing on Time Mage is a good choice. |
|---|
 The reason I used this card together with other mage unit is because of its Tank Heal ability. I am assuming that most of the attacks will miss but to be sure, I prepared a unit that can heal if ever the attacks hit my monster unit. |
|---|
 To add more firepower to my magic attack, I used Dax Paragon to complete my line up. It only costs 2 mana and fitting for my strategy. |
|---|
Did your strategy work?
Yes, my strategy worked and I won the battle. However, I missed adding Soul Fiend because I haven't acquired one yet. As per my strategy, my monster units attacked first and because of Lorna Shine's Divine Shield, the first attack from the opponent's monster was negated. Most of the attacks from the opponent missed also. And since most of the attack of the monsters are Magic, they ignored Living Lava's Shield ability and armor.
What will you try differently next time?
Since I am preparing for the Modern Format, I would like to try using General Sloan and Mother Kala together with Time Mage. Also, I would like to use other monster unit with high Speed stat and Flying ability like Light Elemental and Thunderbird. And I thinks it's kinda cool to see your opponent's monster missed. 😁

Great battle and analysis

And I also support you by saying investing in time Mage is quite good. Her Slow ability gives you an upper hand in deciding who plays first, since she already has a decent speed level of 4.
Great battle
Yeah. Im quite excited of the new format :)
Now format?
I think I'm lost
Please what's the new format bro
Yes. There will be new upcoming formats. Wild and Modern format. Modern includes Untamed, Dice and CL and Rewards cards from U and CL. And Creeping Ooze is excluded in the Modern Format. I think the go-live is by next month.
O wow!!!
I think there's more to learn about Splinterlands
I feel I don't even know anything
