What is Up Splinterlands!

This post is for my Battlemage secret entry for Splinterlands, and the challenge for this week's combat rule is: The Rise of the Common!

Battlemage Secret

For the battle I'm sharing, the rules of combat are as follows:

Rise of the Commons: Only Common and Rare monsters can be used in the battle.
Mana cap of 22.
Decks that can be used: Fire, Earth, Death and Dragon only.

Since I don't have many cards with Fire, Death, and Dragon Deck, my next go-to deck would be Earth Cards and we're limited with a 22 Mana cap to spend so I decided to fill my cards with Meat Shield.

What is a Meat shield? is a term used for any entity that can act as a shield to protect or delay an attack to you Main character or Damage creator.

I used Lobb Lowlands as my summoner, giving me access to use gladius card Since I can only use common or rare cards, I won't be able to play Quora for this battle.

One monster card that always stood out for me and I find very efficient is Katrelba Gobson.

Positioning the Meat shield

I placed the Mycelic Morphoid on the forefront, assuming my opponent has the first strike.
Vampire bat in the second position as a backup, since it had Flying ability, there can be a chance of a Missed attack from the opponent.
On the third position, I placed Fungus Flinger, which my main goal for it is to be taken down so it could trigger its Martyr ability that can give additional stats for my hitter on the fourth position.
Katrelba Gobson is the best position I silent kill be, Katrelba has three awesome ability that makes it notable, Bloodlust, Sneak attack, and Double Strike making her the Ultimate Common Killer .
And lastly, I place Venari Marksrat in the last position, for safety, it also has a Martyr ability.
