This is my entry for this weeks share your battle challenge, while I don't have a match using defender of truth. I think this one would be helpful for some players especially those in the lower leagues.

Noxious Fumes will have all monsters poisoned at each round. What's important to note here is that all monsters will receive 2 damage by the end of the current round. So the technique here is simple. Just make sure that you have a monster which has a self heal ability, this will negate the damage of the poison.
This monster has the heal ability as well as 7 health making it ideal to use in poison battles.
I used the death splinter while my opponent used fire. Our summoners have cancelled out each others effects. We both have the same idea of placing our self healing monsters at the last position. However, i know that i am at an advantage as he is using Cerberus which only has 5 health compared to my haunted spirits 7 health points.
Towards the end of the second round my tank remains healthy and another key play i made here that i believe i should feature is the use of the undead priest. This gives me an advantage of dealing with lesser health monsters and with poison damage over time, this card helps me the first 2 rounds in lowering all enemies health.
Another tip i would like to share is to use high hp monsters. You can see that by the third round i have 3 monsters compared to my enemies 2. My ranged Dark Ferryman has survived the first 2 rounds. This card has 5 health making it last for at least 3 rounds.
The other reason i mainly use the death splinter in poison ruleset is that i have this legendary tank Harklaw. It has high health and shield ability making it survive many rounds and take reduced physical damage. This card protected my haunted spirit from getting into the first position and prevented my self heal card from taking damage.
Starting the fifth round it will just be a battle of heals and outlasting each other. It took 3 more rounds before my enemy cerberus has been eliminated. It was actually only a matter of time before i win as i know im at an advanatage of using a higher HP monster.
