Battle 1: Merdhampir, Pelacor Bandit and Tide Biter

Conditions	Description
Gold League Modern Format	17 Mana Cap Available Elements: Life, Water, Dragon Link: https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sl_262fdc794616668113c15069a76f1709&ref=bltzr-wizard-726
Taking Sides	Neutral Monsters may not be used in battles.
Aimless	All monsters have the Scattershot ability.
Explosive Weaponry	All Monsters have the Blast ability.

For a 17 mana battle with neutral monsters banned and there is both Explosive Weaponry and Aimless rule set, I decided to use range monsters so that thier attack can hit random targets and this is where Merdhampir becomes really good as it can gain when an opponent takes damage and that includes when they lose health due to Cripple allowing it to gain 2 health from Igor Darkspear and Hardy Stonefish.

Meanwhile. I usually don't place Pelacor Bandit on front but for this battle, I feel like my opponent will place some damage sponge at the back so it's better to focus fire my damage on front as well as to use it to evade opponent attacks and until the end of round 2, it does not take any damage because of the Flying ability partnered with its speed.

On the other hand, Tide Biter was effectively dealing damage while on the 2^nd position with the Reach ability while preventing damage from connecting on both front and back with the Reflection Shield ability.

Battle 2: Venari Wavesmith and Djinn Oshannus

Conditions	Description
Gold League Wild Format	36 Mana Cap Available Elements: Fire, Water, Death, Earth, Dragon Link: https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sl_308950039f4d59b138a9d667238ff2fa&ref=saydie
Ferocity	All monsters have the Fury ability.
Fire & Regret	All monsters have the Return Fire ability.
Stampede	The Trample ability can trigger multiple times per attack if the trampled Monster is killed.

For the 2^nd battle, we have Ferocity so the use of Taunt must be avoided as well as range monsters because of Fire & Regret so with only melee and magic to use, I go with magic with Djinn Oshannus as my tank since the opponent use a melee monster with Trample and depending on the opponent's choice, he might get some melee cards with more than 5 damage and the Forcefield ability can come in handy and although the opponent does not use monsters with trample, many of his cards have more than 5 damage including this Radiated Brute with a total of 8 damage due to melee buffs from the summoner and Inspire as well as Enrage which gives 1.5 damage increase but when it attacks Djinn Oshannus, it only deals 1 damage.

As for Venari Wavesmith, the armor it provided has proven to be very useful for preventing fatal damage from Serpentine Spy attacking Spirit Hoarder that without an armor, can easily be taken with 1 hit due to low health.

Final Thoughts

---

In my opinion, The water team has the most synchronicity between all the old reward cards as you can easily use 2 or 3 of them on a single line up, given that the melee and range cards works better with the water summoner Kelya Frendul while the 2 magic cards works well with Alric Stormbringer which is a wild summoner but there are still some plays on modern that can only be won using this magic cards not to mention that there are also many cards that complemented really well for the water on modern format alone so having them all can really improve your wins but if you don't have them, having at least Pelacor Bandit is something that one must commit to to have better chance on winning.
