Introduction
Hello there! @saydie here, playing Splinterlands everyday!
This will be my second entry for this weeks Battle Mage Secrets with the featured ruleset Five Alive. This is a ruleset allows the use of up to five monsters in battle.
The Battle that I will show to you this week was from @bltzr-wizard-726 which is the scholar account I'm playing from Balthazar Guild in partnership with Side Door Ventures and was currently playing on Champion League of the Modern format but before I reveal the battle, let us learn more about this ruleset.
Five Alive
 Five Alive | Up to five Units can be used in the battle. |
Basically, this ruleset was similar to Fab Four but with a more monster to be used and on Standard ruleset with one less monster useable but both players gains no specific advantage nor disadvantage with this ruleset.

My Team
 |  |  |  |  |  |
This battle has a 15 mana cap to use for cards where the active rulesets were Equal Opportunity, Ferocity and the featured ruleset for this week which was Five Alive. With this in consideration, my lineup was consist of:
Summoner: Kelya Frendul - Aside from being a low mana cost summoner, this also increases the speed and armor of all my ally monsters by +1.
- 1st Position: Pelacor Bandit - For a low mana cost of 3, it has 4 damage and 6 speed with Flying to increase its chance to evade melee and range by 25% so together with its health that would increase because of Equalizer, it becomes a powerful tank.
2nd Position: Tide Biter Another 3- mana melee card that comes with Reach, allowing it to attack at second position and have no chance to miss because it has True Strike. It also has Reflection Shield which makes it immune on reflected and blast damage.
33d Position: Merdaali Guardian - A non-damage monster which have the Tank Heal ability which restores the health of the tank monsters and Strengthen to add +1 hit points to all ally monsters. It also has Repair which restores the armor of an ally monster.
4th Position: Igor Darkspear - This was a 2- mana range monster with 3 damage and has the Stun ability which makes the target unable to attack for a turn.
5th Position: Torrent Fiend - A 0- cost card with the Headwinds ability that reduces the range damage of the opponent.

Battle Recap
Here is a replay of the battle which at you can watch at Splinterlands.
Did My Strategy Work?
This time, my battle with Five Alive was not that long compared with my first battle but it was also decently long because of the Equalizer on a small mana battle that increases the health of all monsters. But even with this, I have manage to have maximize the available mana and monster slot to fill as many damage dealers as I can while sneaking a healer and because of the synergy within this monsters, I have ended to finish the battle without losing a monster and taking any damage.
That was it for this post. Thank you and see you at the next one.
