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 "SILENCED SUMMONERS". As the name suggests, your monsters are going it alone.... All summoner "buffs" are not a thing of the past! Your monsters have gotnto go it alone and rely solely on their own abilities.

This ruleset, can completely flip a battle on its head! Conventional battle plans go straight out the window, it also creates a whole new style of play. With the correct selection, it is possible to field a suprisingly deadly team.

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:

But doing what #splinterlands does best, they threw a spanner in the works by adding additional rulesets alongside SILENCED SUMMONERS, just to mess with my mind and really get me thinking.

COUNTERSPELL: All monsters have the magic reflect ability.

Taking these rulesets into consideration, and with the very limited number of summoner choices available to me, I actually decided that for this specific battle, with these specific ruleset, I would pick my tried and tested LVL 4 LYANNA NATURA. Theres some decent monsters to pick from, with this summoner, plus with "SILENCED SUMMONERS" and "COUNTERSPELL" in play, ive got an idea of the monsters id like to get involved as they could potentially be the difference between picking up a W or a L.

As you can see, its not a bad line up!??! Ive managed to fill up all of the slots available and use up all of the mana points available for this battle.

When ever I come across the "SILENCED SUMMONERS" ruleset, it really is a bit of complete change from the usual..... Plus add in that COUNTERSPELL, then the monsters ive chosen to use has ended up not a bad lineup. With SILENCED SUMMONERS it really is important to use monsters with good buffs to give you the playing edge

Watch the battle HERE

Once the two teams are revealed, I always have a quick look at my opponents set up, before hitting rumble. I like to playout in my head how I think the battle will unfold. I try and predict what I think the outcome may be, and judge how well my opponents have set up thier team. With the restricted summoner choice and specific rulesets, I think ive done quite well and built a very competitive team....

My opponents choice of summoner has differed from mine, so lets see who gets the upper hand... can their feath splinter take down my solid tanks defence?

So can my lvl 5 summoner take out my opponents lvl 1 summoner?? Its going to be tough.... They definitely have some decent monsters out on display. With that said im sure its going to be a challenging battle. Lets hit rumble and see how this plays out!!

The stage was set, two strong summoners, with very different approaches, these teams are sure to give a great battle.

Before the battle even begins, our summoner and monsters buffs take effect..... So can my offence over come his well built team? Only one way to find out!!

Round two carried off where round one ended..... My monsters are holding their own, just, and thanks to my tanks higher health , I may stand a chance after taking his tail gunners out very ealry on.

My sneak and opportunity monsters are making short work of his tail, and my unicorn is picking off tank position monsters. We can all see that my monsters and their levels are far higher, but you can only battle whats put in front of you.

Thankfully, numbers were in my favour and i managed to hold out thatnks to my numerical advantage. Finally taking out his remaining monster and winning the battle.

VICTORY!!!..... If in doubt come out all guns blazing..... my opponents team was well thought out, but it was never in doubt. Superior monster level and a team.more suited to the specific ruleset, gave me a very heavy advantage.

Turns out it was a complete and utter blowout in the end! Im pretty chuffed with how that played out.... it couldnt have gone any better i dont think??

Would you have picked a different team/combonation? If so let me knownin the comments below.
