This is a Brawl battle of mine from yesterday, in which there was a Mana Cap of just 30—which, while not exactly low, certainly falls on the lower side. Furthermore, with the exception of the Earth element, all other elements were available for the battle, and two specific rulesets were in effect: Equalizer and Ferocity. The Ferocity ruleset grants all cards with the Taunt ability the power to deal double damage; consequently, it was a foregone conclusion that I should avoid using any cards with the Taunt ability in this battle. The second ruleset, Equalizer, levels the playing field by raising the health of every card on the battlefield to match that of the card with the highest base health stat; this effectively renders all cards equal in terms of their health statistics. Upon observing this particular ruleset, my thoughts—after a considerable hiatus—turned once again to Captain Bravetofu.
This is because Captain Barvetofu endows every card in his Bloodline with the "Inspire" ability. Collectively, these cards trigger a chain reaction that boosts the attack power of all melee cards in the team by +1. This means that the power of your melee cards doesn't merely increase by a flat +1; rather, the attack power of each individual melee card is multiplied by the total number of cards in your team that possess the Inspire ability. Isn't that incredible? When I first discovered this, I felt exactly the same way. However, Captain Barvetofu does have a drawback: most cards in his Bloodline have very low base health, making them prime targets for an opponent's cards equipped with the "Opportunity" ability. Now you understand why I consider Captain Barvetofu to be the best Archon in the "Equalizer" ruleset: under these conditions, every card in the Captain's Bloodline becomes not only powerful but also endowed with substantial health.
Furthermore, since this was a Brawl battle, I also utilized a Gladiator card. From the Gladiator set, I typically select melee cards—either to serve as a tank or to be positioned directly behind one; however, in this particular battle, I was already fielding a significant number of melee attackers. Consequently, I decided to try out a magic card from the Gladiator set this time around. I felt this would not only create a better distribution of power within my team but also allow me to leverage the unique advantage of magic attacks—specifically, their ability to bypass armor and target health directly. While using these cards is not mandatory, given that they cannot be used in the Modern battle mode—and since only one card from this set is permitted per Brawl battle—I make a point of using them in Brawls for the sake of practice and to capitalize on their Bloodlust ability. And—touch wood—these cards perform exceptionally well almost every single time.🔥
