My summoner choice: THADDIUS BROOD
Most likely to only reduce HP, unlikely to see any magic monster.
Position 1: CURSED WINDEKU
Melee Mayhem means potential melee monsters used. Thus thorn to reduce the dmg.
Position 2: CRYPT BEETLE
If FURIOUS CHICKEN have fallen to OPPORTUNITY monster, CRYPT BETTLE will be able to take more while allow CARRION SHADE to help attack the frontline.
Position 3: CARRION SHADE
1 MANA to assist in the backline as there is MELEE MAYHEM ruleset where melee can attack too.
Position 4: LIFE SAPPER
Provide fire power to the front line and potentially gaining more HP to act as a 2nd tank.
Position 5: FURIOUS CHICKEN
Use to tank any potential SNEAK monster and opportunity monster. Protect LIFE SAPPER to allow LIFE SAPPER to leech some HP.
As expected, no -1 magic and only -1 HP and also opponent utilize the all melee approach which make THORN effective for this battle.
Main concern will be DIEMONSHARK because of it's high ARMOR and HP.
Everyone is still alive at this round, but most ARMOR have been removed by WINDEKU's THORN.
Most likely to see 2 MINI MELEE monsters fallen this round and leaving DIEMONSHARK alone.
My prediction for 2nd is correct.
With DIEMONSHARK alone the win should be secured.
At this round, DIEMONSHARK will hit WINDEKU first and take the THORN dmg and die.
WINDEKU as the MVP single hand protected the backline.

My plan works and I happy to use CARRION SHADE in low mana + MELEE MAYHEM or SUPER SNEAK games. If you have read till the end, thank you for reading!
