Battle of the day.

Hello everyone. Today I am going to share my battle.
Battle details: I played with a earth splinter and my opponent used a fire splinter against me.

Battle rules: It was a battle with 30 mana cap and two rules:
Up Close and Personal: Only monsters with melee attack may be used in battles.
Are you not entertained?: One additional gladiator card may be used in battles.
Battle lineup:

OBSIDIAN level 5. This summoner adds +1 magic attack to my team. I used this summoner because from available options it was my favorite.

NECTAR QUEEN level 6. This monster has great health(12) and melee attack power(4). It has two abilities: Flying and Retaliate. I knew that my enemy will use melee attack monsters due to battle rule. So I used a monster with Retaliate as my tank.

QUORA TOWERSHEAD level 2. This monster is really powerful because it has both melee(2) and magic(2) attack. It has two abilities: Bloodlust and Heal. This monster is like an improved version of Kron.

HYDRA level 3. This awesome monster has great attack(3) and health(9). It has three abilities: Heal, Thorns and Retaliate. I used this monster as protection from Sneak attacks.
Battle strategy. I used monsters with retaliate as my tank and last monster. In the middle I hid QUORA TOWERSHEAD and hoped that with her Bloodlust ability she will be able to gain more power.
On the battlefield

My opponent lowered my melee attack power and his melee attack was boosted by his summoner.

I lost my HYDRA and my tank was also nearly dead.

My opponent lost his tank and my QUORA TOWERSHEAD started gaining more power.

I only had one monster remaining but it was clear that I will win.

At this point my QUORA TOWERSHEAD was too powerful and so I won.

In this battle I won 28 League Rating and 0.256 SPS. My strategies worked well- my QUORA TOWERSHEAD became nearly all-powerful and destroyed enemy team.
I hope that you enjoyed my battle. If you would also like to start playing splinterlands and earning by making posts about your battles or by making art inspired by splinterlands please consider using my referral link: https://steemmonsters.com?ref=fieryfootprints
Also please consider visiting my art gallery. So far it has only a few pieces that are inspired by splinterlands . But in the future I might add more works with splinterlands monsters.
Thank you and have a nice day.
My question is that is it good to be familiar with cards so when your opponent brings out a card, you can bring out a stronger one
Is that how it works?
Both players select their teams before the game. you can't change your team in the middle of combat.
Your Splinterlands battle game experience is interesting. Thanks for sharing.
