What's up? Here I am back with another battle for the weekly challenge, this time, it's not my battle but from a well known player and developer in Hive,
@criptoanarquista. Since I couldn't find a battle with this week's condition, based on blast for all the creatures, I decided to look for an external one and also vary things a little bit.

In the first position, criptoanarquista placed Nectar Queen, a powerful normal card with great attack, a lot of life and also the flying ability, although its abilities did not come to light much because Back to Basic was present as a condition as well, so the summoner's abilities were the ones that were observed, these were Void and Shatter, along with the debuff of one less life point to the enemy.
On the enemy side, the classic unicorn appears again, its speed and stats in general make it a good option present in several leagues, as we can see. Since Back To Basic also affected him, he didn't have his "Void" ability, which characterizes him so much.
For second place Gelatinous Cube was there to show its face. This gelatinous tank is known for its scavenging ability but this time it could not show it, so it only served to resist a little, after the fall of Nectar Queen at the hands of the unicorn in the first round, leaving it with only 2 points of life at the end of the round.
However, the poison got to him and finished him off early in the second round, as well as the swift steed he still had in front of him. Leaving in the first place in the enemy lineup the one who previously covered the second place, that is to say Mycelic SlipSpawn. By that time, that mage with tank powers had 3 health points but a formidable 4 points of magic damage.
His performance was remarkable, but by the end of the second round, he fell to Mycelic HeadHunter. Curiously, in that same round the enemy Mitica also knocked down one of the criptoanarquista cards, it was like a double knockout.
For the third place Prismatic Energy presented itself firmly in front of the fall of Gelantinous Cube, its damage was not so great but as a tank it promised to resist a little, however, the withering blow of Mitica HeadHunter, made it fall a little more than halfway through the second round.
This card was repeated in the enemy team in the same position, at the same level but with higher magic damage due to the presence of Obsidian.
In fourth place of the criptoanarquista opponent in this battle was the speedy Regal Peryton, with a considerable 6 levels, 3 points of magic damage (1 per obsidian buff) and no less than 6 points of speed added to a blast for the battle condition. For the criptoanarquista lineup, Centauri Mage was in the lead, with 2 points of magic damage and a pretty good defensive attitude, although not enough to withstand all the magical punishment present.
For the rival rearguard, Centauri Mage also appeared, along with Mitica Headhunter, the latter was also in the rearguard of the criptoanarquista lineup and it is no wonder she is so popular, her attack power is high and her speed as well.
Next to Headhunter was Mushroom Seer, which would have been excellent to mitigate all enemy magic and give more utility to void in your team, but Backt To Basics ruined that possibility.
The complete alineation was:

Curious fact:
In spite of the great resemblance between alignments, the criptoanarquista rival came out victorious, this because of the great amount of magic he had, in spite of the Void ability, this was not enough, because Mitica Headhunter also weakened a lot with his 5 points of damage.
I would say that if it wasn't for Back To Basic, the winner of this battle would be criptoanarquista, because of the whole scenario, but that's how things are in Splinterlands, a single detail can change the course of an entire confrontation, so victory is not always assured.
