Low mana cap mind games in a gold league. Top tier battle. Masq vs Ula.ocean!

in #splinterlands3 years ago (edited)

Hello, fellow gamers!

Today we had an interesting fight versus @ula.ocean and @bigdizzle91 on a gold league battlefield.

Rulesets:

  • Holy protection - all monsters have the divine shield ability.
  • Little league - only monsters and summoners that cost 4 mana or less can be used in a battle.

Available splinters
Water, Earth, Life, Dragon

Mana cap
13 mana

Thought process: I immediately knew that Ula will play an earth / dragon splinter. I assumed that he will be putting a failed summoner at a first place and add a Grenadier at the back for his oppress ability (deals double the damage for non-attack monsters) and blast. I made a decision to play a few monsters up front to absorb the damage and added a Selenia Sky to help my range monsters to burst his failed summoner.

There is a great synergy between the earth elemental and a swamp thing. By doing 7 damage per turn - it is difficult for an opponent to heal up quick enough.

Had another battle with the same rules and used the same strategy again. Worked out perfecly.

If you play in a gold league, a failed summoner is a great asset to have. It currently costs around $0.11 per bcx, making it $24.2 for a level 8 (common card cap for a gold league).
