Today I got to play a high mana battle where there were special restrictions and under special rule sets only a few monsters could be selected.
Let us find out about this battle what rule sets appeared, what my strategy was and which monsters I used to get an excellent victory.
I also made a short video of this gameplay so you can see how my monster selection helped me win this battle.
This was an 81 mana battle and it was very interesting. There were three special rule sets.
WANDS OUT
The first rule set was Wands Out. In this rule set you can only summon monsters that have magic attack power. This means you cannot select ranged or melee attack monsters.
This is a major restriction. If your deck has only a few magic attackers then this becomes a big drawback because you can only use magic attackers.
So what should your strategy be in this rule set?
You should select your best magic attackers especially those that have good health and armor. Place them on the front line so they can survive for a longer time. Keep your heavy damage dealers in the backline.
ARMORED UP
The second rule set was Armored Up. In this rule set all units get plus two armor. This means you should select monsters that already have at least one or two armor because they will receive an additional two armor.
Try not to select monsters that have no armor at all. If you do select them then you will not be able to get the benefit of this ruleset. It is better to select the monsters which must have any number of armor.
SHAPESHIFT HAPPENS
The third rule set was Shape Shift Happens where all units get Shapeshift which treats them as all bloodlines.
Keeping these three rule sets in mind I selected an Archon with the minus one health ability.
In the frontline, I placed monsters with strong health and armor. so my strong damage dealers could stay in the backline, survive longer and keep attacking with magic damage.
When I looked at my opponent I noticed that they did not have many strong monsters. They were only able to select two monsters because they had very few magic attackers in their deck. That is why I got a very easy victory in this battle.
You can say that all of my monsters stayed alive while all of the enemy monsters were eliminated. This happened because I understood the rule sets correctly and made the right monster selections.
My favorite monster in this battle was Great Bear Druid. It had good health and because of its Double Strike ability it survived for a long time and kept dealing damage to the enemy monsters.
What would your monster selection be in this type of rule set and what would your strategy be. Will be glad yo see your answers in the comment section.
