The Weak Magic | Counter-Surprising My Opponent With Affliction

It is time of the week for the splinterlands battle mage challenge and guess the theme of the week, it is the Weak Magic rule set which is one of a kind and some how anti magic rule set because it go against magic rule and prevent them from attacking any monster health directly ("Magic attacks hit Armor before reducing Health."). In this kind of battle most users tend to use card with more stronger armour just to last long in battle even me in some cases and at times I also make sure I reduce the amount of magic monster card I use in battle because to me they aren't that useful unless that have 3+ attack with good health, I just fully focus on more melee and range cards especially using some ability to counter it.

I focus on using Piercing cards, Rust ability to reduce armour, shatter to remove armour from card when hit and also repair ability to restore back some armour. It was kind of different in this battle I had with ding3274, I can't even count the amount of battle I had with the whole ding team in gold league, so we had 20mana capped battle with 3 ruleset, Holy protection that give all cards a divine shield which allow them to take 1 damage without having effect on them, Weak magic that prevent direct hit to health if armour is still available and Tis but Scratches that give cripple ability to all cards and to top it all we can only pick from fire, death or dragon element.

Checking all odds, I had to go with the death element since the mana cap is really small so I picked cursed windeku as my frontline, no armour but I need a healing card and I can guess right my opponent will come up with melee attackers so the thorns can dealt damage back to them, I support it with Shadow Snitch with the affliction ability just incase he decided to use windeku too or any healing cards, so i can easily block his card from healing, I don't know what to do since I have just 1 mana left so I picked shadowy presence just to give them 1 extra health. I picked up Magi Necrosi, a magic card with both snipe and camouflage ability and also oppress to dealt double damage to non attacking monster cards or weapon training cards.

Everything really came as I predict it, he came with 80% melee cards, surprised me with gelatinous cube healing card instead but I counter surprise him and it wall work out, I was able to destroy him completely in just 5 round with only shadowy presence destroyed. It was an interesting battle.
