Click Here to watch one of the battles I fought this morning. There was no way I could have won this battle if I used 5 melee attack monsters. For me to have additional magic attack in my lineup, it was necessary to use Marlai Singariel. If not because of the summoner I used, there could be no way I would have own the battle.
I just want to show you how good is Marlai Singariel in battle, but I will go with Fithe Bladestone because of what it offers in battles.
Despite my Halfling Refugee was the first monster that was eliminated in this lineup, I was very confident of winning the battle. The moment I saw my opponent's lineup with Shock Trooper, I knew I would win the battle.
Abilities of Fithe Bladestone
The following are the abilities of Fithe Bladestone
Armor: All friendly units have +2 armor.
This is one of the summoners that gives armor to allies; the armor makes it difficult for melee and ranged monsters to attack the health directly. This type of summoner is good when battle rules did not allow the players to use magic monsters; I like to use Fithe Bladestone when such rules are given to me, and Fithe Bladestone is one of the summoners to use.
Bloodline Dominion: Units that share bloodline with this archon can be summoned from any element and gain the link ability. No wonder I used to see some monsters with void abilities. I have played several battles where Halfling Refugee and many more monsters that did not have void ability were given void ability.
Void: 50% less damage (rounded up) from magic attack or 0 damage from magic damage of 1 power. At this point, if a monster with magic damage of 2 power attacks such a monster with only damage 1 power from a monster with void ability.
Ability of Marlai Singariel
+1 magic attack to all friendly monstersMarlai Singariel gives 1 magic attack to all friendly monsters, and that is the reason I love to use this summoner in back to basic ruleset.
But in a battle where a player use monster with blind ability, it will nullify one magic attack giving Marlai Singariel
Fithe Bladestone And Marlai Singariel in Battles
For example, there was a battle I played, and I used Fithe Bladestone and while my opponent that was paired with me used Marlai Singariel summoner. I used some archon monsters because I understand that The Bladestone gives void ability to such monsters. When the battle started, four of my monsters which from archon were given void ability, just the way I planned it; I already knew that my opponent would use more magic attack monsters than other attacking monsters. Hence, it was difficult for my opponent to eliminate 2 monsters from my lineup before the end of the battle. What I learned in this battle is that, Fithe Bladestone is more powerful than Marlia Singariel in the hand of a skillful player. Therefore, if a player use 6 magic attack while using Marlai Singariel, such a player can be defeated with a simple lineup when using Fithe Bladestone.
Fithe Bladestone can be antitode to to Marlai Singarielin some battles rules
When certain Rules that are suitable to Fithe Bladestone are given in battles
We all know that Weak Magic attack the armor before the health: when a player use summoner like Fithe Bladestone with additional monster that can give armor. Remember that Fithe Bladestone give to armor to friendly monsters; the combination of armor will be 4 or more for a monster in the lineup. This can deliver a victory when the other player use Marlai Singariel Summoner withore than 3 magic monsters in the battle. Well! I'm saying this from my experience, Fithe Bladestone gave me victory in the battle. The moment I saw weak magic rules; we were gave only to splinters- Water and Fire. Therefore, I have 50% assurance that my opponent would use Marlai Singariel; I went with another strategy and summoner that gave me victory. I used Fithe Bladestone with four Archon monsters, and a monster that give additional +2 armor to friendly monsters. I did not used a magic attack monster; I used melee attack and ranged attack monsters. I was surprised when I saw my opponent's lineup with magic attack monsters in weak magic rule. I was so happy that the first monster I used had shield ability, while the summoner I used gave void ability to the same monster. None of my monster was eliminated from the battle.
All these is to show us how Fithe Bladestone can be used against Marlai Singariel in battles. I am not saying Marlai Singariel is not a powerful summoner; I just showed you the advantages of Fithe Bladestone in some battles over Marlai Singariel
For instance, Marlai Singariel is one of the my choice summer to use when Fog of War is given; but is still maneuver to use Fithe Bladestone. There was a battle I played like that to experiment Fithe Bladstone when Fog of War was give in a battle. The first three monster I used had void ability because of the summoner, and the first one had shield ability. I used three ranged monsters, two melee monsters and one magic monster; I was able to conquered my opponent with this simple arrangement. If I used Singariel like him, I might have ended up of losing the game because he used a magic monster with void ability in the first position, and the rest of his monsters were magic monsters. Though, some of his magic attack were 4 or 5. Which he would have used to defeat me.
By using with blind ability to remove +1 magic attack giving by Marlai Singariel
One can remove +1 magic attack by using a monster with blind ability in battles. I have encountered players with such an arrangement, and I have used such a monster in battles. When a player use Fithe Bladestone, I don't think they have created a monster that will remove Bloodline Dominion. That's another reason I believe that one can use **Fithe Bladestone as antitode against Marlai Singariel.
Both summoners (Fithe Bladestone and Marlai Singariel) are good to use with Counterspell
At this point, it is not good to use a magic monster except such a magic monster have void ability. Both can be used in the sense that, there are very good melee and ranged attack monsters in water splinter. Hence, a player may not use magic monsters when battling. I like using Commander Slade as the first monster when Counterspell is given, and I won many of such battles. My reason for using Commander Slade is that most of the player I have encountered in such a battle rule used more of ranged and melee monsters. I understood that Commander Slade possesses dodge ability that can make melee and ranged monsters to miss the attack; and it really works for me.
In conclusion, I like both summoners, and I use both of them in battles. Both of them offer different abilities to friendly monsters which can make one win battles. But, Fithe Bladestone offers more abilities that makes me to use it in battle.
