Hello guys,
Today I am going to share with you another battle in @splinterlands.
Battle details:
I played with death splinter. And my opponent used life splinter against me.
It was a battle of total 99 mana with two rules:
Holy Protection: All monsters have the Divine Dhield ability.
Keep Your Distance: Monsters with melee attack may not be used in battles.
Lineup.
I had my MIMOSA NIGHTSHADE level 3, LORD ARIANTHUS level 3, CTHULHU level 3, ANCIENT LICH level 3, GRIM REAPER level 6, OCTOPIDER level 6 and CORNEALUS level 3.
And my opponent had his/her cards as TYRUS PALADIUM level 6, LORD ARIANTHUS level 3, PRISMATIC ENERGY level 6, DEFENDER OF TRUTH level 5, AIR ELEMENTAL level 5, SILVERSHIELD SHERIFF level 1 and CYCLOPS level 6.
Let me talk about monsters that I used in this battle.
~I chose the summoner MIMOSA NIGHTSHADE. level 3
This legendary death summoner lowers all enemy ranged attacks by -1, gives Void ability to all friendly monsters, and prevents enemy monsters from healing. This is my favorite death summoner for battles with big mana cap because all those abilities are awesome. This card needs 7 mana.

This monster works as a fantastic tank in the the back of the team. And it does good damage.
On the battlefield.
In the beginning of this battle most of my team were attacking my opponent's LORD ARIANTHUS. SILVERSHIELD SHERIFF was attacking my CTHULHU and the rest of opponent's team were targeting my LORD ARIANTHUS.
At this point both teams still had all the monsters. Still I liked my chances because all my team had Void ability.
Both teams no longer had their tanks but I was starting to believe that I will win because my opponent had alot of ranged monsters that can't attack from first position of the team.
The rest of the battle was not that hard.
My opponent's ranged monsters were pushed in the first position.
So destroying them was just a matter of time.
Opponent's monsters fell one after the other and I finally won.
Battle Results
In this battle I won 12.665 Dec and 10 League Rating. My strategy worked well-LORD ARIANTHUS and CORNEALUS protected my team and the rest of team did a lot of damage.
OCTOPIDER is not the monster I use often. But it has good health and ranged attack so this monster could be useful.
I would prefer having more magic attack monsters. So I would probably consider replacing GRIM REAPER and OCTOPIDER with DARK ENCHANTRESS and PHANTOM SOLDIER. I would also like having SAND WORM(but he was not available due to battle rules) and HALFLING ALCHEMIST in my 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:
