Dear Splinters,
Peace
How was your week on Splinterlands?
I got a lot of losses not even considering the challenge requests that I messed up really well.
The ruleset this week focuses on the " Rise of the Commons ". My selection in this battle will represent my fellow guild master Splinter Mezzmezz.
It was a perfect occasion to test a lineup with normal magic elemental warriors in the arena against a random strategy.
Let's see how it will end for my side of the board.
Battle Ruleset:
Rise of the Commons: Only Common and Rare Monsters may be used in battles.
42
As specified in the ruleset only magic elemental cards could spice things up on the battlefield, therefore I expect the opposite side of the board gather his forces with a direct interest to magic warriors.
Opponent Team
| Lyanna Natura ★ 4 | |
|---|---|
 | Lyanna Natura is an earth summoner very popular during the first years of Splinterlands |
| Flesh Golem | |
 | Golem is known to be a powerful tanker in the line of defense against any attacks from the enemy |
| Prismatic Energy | |
 | Prismatic added valuable support to the offensive part of the line while offering void against magic attacks |
| Mycelic Slipspawn | |
 | Mycelic is also a powerful magic defender warrior ready to absorb all strike from the other side of the board. |
| Wood Nymph | |
 | Nymph was a great warrior ready to heal all friendly cards on the board |
| Goblin Psychic | |
 | I love this third healing ability activated on the time to provide the maximum support to the Golem in his offensive and defensive mission |
| Javelin Thrower | |
 | Javelin was a perfect offensive range card with the capability to strike from far with a limited option of failure. |
My team composition in the arena
--
| Obsidian ★ 4 | |
|---|---|
 | Obsidian was in the arena to strengthen my magic attackers on the battlefield |
| Venari Knifer | |
 | Venary is an interesting card to position in the first row. I was lucky that the thorn ability could cause some damage to the enemy of melee type |
| Unicorn Mustang | |
 | Unicorn was my perfect card to guarantee the effectiveness of my defense posture on the battlefield |
| Mycelic Slipspawn | |
| Mycelic was collecting all attacks while the rest of the warriors concentrate on the offensive |
| Regal Peryton | |
 | Peryton gave my offensive manoeuver a refreshing look each round |
| Goblin Psychic | |
| Goblin was healing as many teammate warriors as he could every round his turn arrived |
| Venari Spellsmith | |
 | Spellsmith gave his contribution to the entire team as the effort on the offensive was loosing his stamina |
Heroic figure in the arena
The ruleset is clear and most of my common or rare cards are not up to the task on the battlefield. I planned to put all my magic warriors on the board with the support of a magic summoner. Obsidian was perfect for my plan. The counteroffensive was supposed to be an element of surprise. Unicorn showed great capability to stop magic warrior progression on the board.
View from the opposite side
My opponent planned to defend with Golem reinforced with two healing warriors at the back of the line. It was a special strategy that very few players managed to survive after his deployment. It was a well-thought-plan from the adversary team.
Possible Outcomes
Lord Arianthus with the support of two healing warriors could have made a serious difference on the board.
I am not sure my survival would last until the second round with this type of lineup.
I would like to thank my friends in the Alliance Guild especially @mezzmezz for this magnificent battle.
