These kind of wins always make me happy! This was a Brawl battle with Novice level caps and Untamed cards only. I don't own any Untamed cards and can't afford to rent any so I choose the Novice cap and use only the starter cards.

After the first round it still looked like it could go either way, but my monsters seemed to be holding their own. Tatiana's faster speed meant that my Living Lava got enraged before his turn and so took out a bigger chunk of her health, and the rest of my monsters had Magnor down to 1/2.

After two rounds both Tatiana and Magnor were gone, with the loss of only my Magma Troll to Blast and Opportunity damage. Living Lava's shield was key in keeping his health up!

In the third round nobody fell, but healths are getting low and the speed of my monsters will tell!

After round four it is down to just a couple of hits to finish the Fray.

Conclusion: I'm not sure, but I think that Magnor lost this Fray for him. If he had used a monster at the back that could have attacked then the extra damage plus Blast would have easily defeated me. Also since he had Taunt it meant that none of his other backline monsters got enraged from my Snipe and Opportunity monsters. In any case, it's always nice to get a win against legendaries with the starter monsters!
