It is always exciting when new battle rules are introduced since these are new variants to think about and thus the game does not fall into monotony and forces reasoning and analytical skills to be used more and more in order to achieve alignments that are consistent. They adapt depending on the rules of battles that arise.

RULESET: Fab Four

Description:

Up to four Units can be used.

This battle rule is exciting since it does not restrict the maximum number of cards used or allowed by the amount of mana available, but rather reduces the number of available spaces to 4 in order to propose an alignment with only 4 elements, having to think very carefully which one. use and which one to do without.

This also makes it easier because you know that the opponent will only be able to use a maximum of 4 cards, so by placing a very powerful card he will have to deal with fewer attacks and will be more difficult to be eliminated.

BATTLE CONDITIONS

In addition to the FAB FOUR battle condition that limits the number of cards to be used to a maximum of 4 we also have.
KEEP YOUR DISTANCE, which allows me to use only ranged or magic cards, this is another interesting limitation although you can still make a winning lineup.

WEAK MAGIC magical attacks hit first on the shield and then on life, this ability is interesting and can allow the chosen card to resist more, giving it a chance to eliminate my enemy.

Furthermore, we can only use green and dragon cards and an available mana of 20, which will limit the cards to be used, so the FAB FOUR battle rule will not be such a big limitation, although it will help me somewha.

My Team

HELIOS MATRIARCH

This summoner is very important in my strategy to use since it will allow me to use the desired dragon card and also by increasing its speed by +1 it will allow it to dodge more attacks and will ensure that it always attacks first.

CHAOS DRAGON

This dragon is very powerful with its magic attack of 3, which means I can eliminate my opponent very quickly, in addition to having a life of 10 and a shield of 4, which with the WEAK MAGIC battle rule, it will be as if it had 14 life. giving my dragon more survival.

His flying ability and his 3 speed make the summoner 4 speed, will allow my dragon a great chance to dodge ranged attacks giving my dragon more resistance.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE BATTLE

RONDA 1 and 2

In these two rounds I manage to eliminate a card from my enemy and he leaves my dragon at the end of the second round in

My enemy attacks in the first round with all his cards but his ACID SHOOTER misses the attack so he is left with 2 shield, while my DRAGON CHAOS takes the shield away from his CHAOS AGENT.

In the second round I eliminate his CHAOS AGENT but this time my enemies manage to hit all their attacks, taking away his shield and leaving him with 9 life.

RONDA 3,4 and 5

In rounds 3 and 4 my enemy hits all the attacks except once his ACID SHOOTER fails to hit and they leave him at the end of round 4 at 4 life.

In the third round I manage to remove the shield from his QUEEN MYCELIA and in the 4th I deal 3 damage and leave him at 1 life.

Starting the fifth turn I manage to eliminate his QUEEN MYCELIA without him attacking me and my enemy attacks with 2 cards and hits his attack leaving him at 2 life.

RONDA 6,7 and 8

Starting the sixth turn, as my dragon is faster, he manages to eliminate his SPIRIT HOARDER before it attacks, so his ACID SHOOTER cannot attack me and that is why on turns 7 and 8 I attack my opponent without him being able to defend himself and That's how I eliminate it, leaving my dragon at 2 life.

FINAL ANALYSIS

This battle was essential for my dragon to have enough life and its 4 shield, added to the WEAK MAGIC battle rule, meant that this shield protected it from magical attacks allowing it to survive.

My dragon managed to dodge 3 attacks so its flight ability allowed it to avoid 3 damage, which was enough to eliminate my dragon, so these 3 dodged attacks were the difference between victory and defeat.
