In my continued effort to bring you low quality, repetitive, cyclical, drivel on a weekly basis, in a change from the precious metals related rhetoric i usually bang on about, i now offer to you my loyal followers, a bang average #splinterlands blog.
Without much thought, or deep contemplation, ill be sharing with you few brave souls that have taken the time to read this post, my weekly BATTLE MAGE SECRETS Weekly Challenge!. The "share your battle" challange has ended, where the @splinterlands team asked you to share a battle with a specific monster, and now its more about a specific ruleset. This new weekly challenge definitely has its upside, as it allows a wider audience to take part, even when their battle decks are limited.
This week the team over at #splinterlands has asked us to share a battle with the ruleset "Close Range". As the name suggests, all monsters taking part in the battle with ranged attacks are allowed to attack in the first position.
This ruleset, as the name suggests, allows monsters that would now be cannon fodder, sat in the tank postion, can now continue to use their attack abilities.
Lets go play #splinterlands...... Its not like you can pick and choose the rulesets for every battle! After playing what seemed like my full allocation of 50 battles, i finally came across the ruleset i was waiting for:
Whilst this ruleset now unlocks all manner of new monster combinations, I was unfortunately restricted by the other two rulesets applied to this battle:
Taking all these rulesetsninnto consideration, I actually decided that for this specific battle "close range" ability would actually hinder my approach and not benefit, so I completely avoided all range atack monters, and focused on magic only to best utalise what was on offer
No one can deny that this particular set up packs a heck of a punch!! With Alric Stormbringer at the helm, my magic attack grts a +1 advantage. This meant that my combined attack power for this battle was an eye catching 23 attack points per round......
With a solid tank and monsters packi g decent health to boot, i set about buildi g my team. I managed to use all allocated mana points and was pretty happy with the outcome.

My forst concern was that my opponent, @MIGUIKARPIN, had used the summoner - GRANDMASTER RATHE
This summoners ability meant my magic attacks would first hit any shield my opponents monsters had. Plus add on his ability to add extra shielding and i knew i was in for a longer battle than i was expecing.
It was pretty evident after round 2 however, that i really did have nothing to worry about and that the sheer distructive power of my magoc atracks were going to inflict a defeat sooner rather than later.
Some times when the @splinterlands team asks for battles using certain rulesets, its also best noticing that sometimes its best to not use them....... in this specific scenario, it was clear to me that going down the magic route would serve me in better tead than down the ranged attack route... but what do you think?? Was i right? Would you have picked a different team/combonation? If so let me knownin the comments below.
