Introduction
Hello fellow summoners,
This week's weekly challenge is about the Tortisian Fighter. Tortisian Fighter is a good 4 mana attacker with a small shield but pretty low health. This makes it weak to magic and things. They truly shines when they reach level 4 though and get teh ability shield making them very powerful in UNTAMED tournaments. Even so, if I can, I prefer to use the Spineback Turtle which has more health and has the ability Thorns.
Card Levels
Over 10 levels, the Tortisian Fighter gains 2 pretty useful abilities, namely Shield and Repair. It also gains a good amount of armor to compliment its Repair ability and its Shield ability.
Its low health and low speed is still there making it a good anti-sneak card or a lost magic tank.
Ruleset
The rulesets are Equalizer and Taking Sides meaning that every monster gets the same amount of health based on that of the monster with the highest health and Taking Sides means no Neutral Monsters such as Furious Chicken 😥. A healthy 34 mana means I can use higher mana monsters.
Monsters and Summoners
Summoner
Bortus
Since dragon is diabled for this battle, I had to use my best water summoner, namely Bortus. This also reduces any magic attack that may hurt my tortisian fighter and take it out of the play too ealry.
Monsters
Tortisian Fighter
This week's monster is going to be this abttle's tank. Because I was able to reduce magic using my bortus and equalizer allowed it to have higher health, I believe that it would be a good cheap tank.
Electric Eels
Always good to have a backup tank, the electric eels do reach damage from the back providing additional firepower.
Phantom of the Abyss
Good anti-snipe monster, it allows me to easily dodge snipe attacks though it is susceptible to the few magic snipe monsters which may come.
Ruler of the Seas
My main damage dealer, along with its powerful blast, it can ruin my opponent's team quickly.
Crustacean King
This healer helps keep my tortisian fighter up and kicking for a bit longer. Hopefully that means enough time for my ruler to do its work.
Naga Wind Master
Very good card that I use for its headwinds debuff and its additional 2 damage for a cheap 4 mana.

Turn 1
My opponent wisely put a unicorn mustang as a tank and it is going to drastically lower my magic ability. He also uses a mushroom seer which will reduce my magic attack to two. Thankfully, my attacks seem to just be doing enough to get through and my tortisian fighter is staying strong.
Turn 2
Same thing is happening this turn. Unicorn Mustang is getting hit down while my naga wind master and tortisian fighter is slowly taking damage.
Turn 3
3rd round is the charm and I got pass his unicorn mustang! My tortisian fighter is taking a beating and my naga wind master is going to fall soon.
Turn 4
Seem to be getting past his goblin thief way quicker than the unicorn mustang so I guess progress...?
Turn 5
Onto his woody nymph! My naga is in a sorry state right now though and will die at the end of the next turn.
Turn 6
Ughh that heal is really annyoing but my fighter is still standing and his team is slowly falling apart. My naga wind master died though.
Turn 7
My tortisian fighter has the same amount of health at the end as the start of this turn meaning that my opponent's damage has reached a point where my tortisian fighter will stay alive forever as long as my healer keeps healing.
TUrn 8
And my opponent's javelin thrower falls.
Turn 9 & 10 &
The final turns as my monsters destroy his monsters and my tank is still really healthy. Well played overall and I may have made a few mistakes in my lineup.
Conclusion
Overall, awesome match! I may have made a couple of mistakes in this match such as having too many magic attackers which slowed down my plowing momentum considerably especially against the mushroomer seer, unicorn mustang, and wood nyphm combo. Good thing I had a healer too or I would have lost. Thank a lot for reading and as always, BATTLE ON!

Nice job - I'll keep this in mind if Life and Death are ever ruled out for Equalizer - normally I play death, with Mimosa or if not Life with Chanseus and the resurrect.
Tortisan fighter is a great choice for this rule set!

Upvoted 👌 (Mana: 14/21)
Thanks! Mimosa and Chanseus are also great for this ruleset as you have mentioned but my Legendary summoners aren't high enough of a level yet to use them properly. Thanks for the upvote!
Nice choices, good win! Love to see all my monsters alive at the end, haha.
