Great day splinterbuddies! Another time for the Battle Mage Secrets Weekly Challenge and here is my entry for this one.
Equalizer
All unit start with the same health, based on the highest health on either team.
Buffs and debuffs are done afterward - this impacts base health.
This is a hard ruleset for me when I am the one playing. I have difficulties to decide which to use since I am being confused by the ruleset. Most of the low mana cards can benifit from this one but their attack will not change. Only the health. So it's a bit confusing really in the sense that you can't make yourself sure to win. Anyways, now that the cards are getting much more compared than before, I think its not just me, even the other guys might not become confident anymore, not just with this ruleset but also to others. At the end, its really a great deal of collection to get you on your game and confidence. But sadly, the new update brought me back to starting line and decided to rebuild my deck collection again and move on to my dreams I mean to higher league to gain something rather than in bronze which was so so so so deserted of prizes. I just wish that the guys with high level card collection wont stay any longer in the bronze league for they are adding to my difficult splinterlands game-life already. They really are hard to deal with. lol.
Let us see a battle example for this rule:
The ruleset is:
Equalizer in 44 Mana Capacity. We have Fire and Dragon splinters to choose from. I have decided to choose Dragon Splinters this time.

Using Lily Shieldpaw as my summoner because of cuteness (this is not true! not a fan of gayly, girly thing guy here). I am choosing Lily because of Camouflage ability and since fire splinters are specialized in mostly Melee attacks(which is I beleived), I am placing Djinn Chiwala with its thorn ability and a good amount of armour in front. Carnage Titan will help demolish the front line with its reach and Dual strike ability. Since camouflage is being utilize by my monsters, I am placing Range attackers Dalthin Ironwood with ability of Weapons Training that will placed between Kra'ar Xoc and Scavo Hireling that got Armour repair ability aiding my front line. A range attacker in the form of Countess Sinash that will take down an opponent that got minimal health because of Opportunity ability was use. Its a Medium to High Mana capacity battle so I am betting on my available cards that got the decent damage that I can use. Lets see the outcome of the battle.
The Battle
So I am battling a Typical Fire Splinter Team here that got Tarsa as the summoner. With a bit of magic damage Dealer and defender to the mix, I think the opponent considered that I am going to use Magicians here which did not happened.
Round 1
This is gonna be a long battle here. Damage wise, The opponent's attacks got a bit more fire power than mine but did not got a Healing and Repair support. Well my healing support is a bit useless so I am not expecting too much of it. The Repair thing is much more handy on the other hand.
Round 2
My Djinn Chwala is early to leave the Battlefield but it cost my opponents team to suffer the lot's of its melee attackers. Next to stay in the front will be Carnage Titan that also boasting a good set of tanky stats.
Round 9
The fight ended in 9 rounds and i grab the win. Although there is no Close Range thing in the mix, My range cards can last long in front because of the Equalizer ruleset so I dominated my opponent'ss team with that situation.
Equalizer is mostly equalizing the life of all the cards in the battlefield. I beleive that what you should take advantage in this situation are the other factors such as the damage amount, type of damage, abilities that can return damage and speed. You can't win in the battle if you wont defeat your opponent faster than it can do to you.:D
