boom it is the weekly battle mage moment and the theme chosen for this week is the Reverse speed ruleset, if you are a fan of low speed monster cards, this is really your time to shine, from my side, I love high speed cards and I even get to use more speed ability booster like the swiftness ability which give all friendly card 1 extra speed and this there is particular strategy that give you high chance of winner if you have more speed than your opponent because lower speed cards can easily miss their target and you will also be able to attack first but like the ruleset, reverse is the case. Lower speed cards attack first in this aspect and also have chance of missing attacking from enemy high speed cards so most times, we just stick to our 1 speed cards. Also using a bloodlust ability can put you in some disadvantage position when it start destroying cards.
I had this particular battle with Wolfes, it even took me a while before I came across the reverse ruleset and I had to think of what to play because if i happen to lose the battle, I don't know when I will see the ruleset plus I already spend my energy looking for the battle. So we had a 47 mana capped battle with 3 ruleset combo, first is Up to eleven which give all cards the amplify ability, second is Unprotected which remove armor from all monster cards and lastly is the main ruleset which is the Reverse speed, we also had to pick from 3 element which was fire, water and life element, on a norms, I do pick fire or earth element for this kind of battle because I have more low speed card in those element and I do use fire because of Grum flameblade but somehow my mind just told me to pick water element since all monster are vulnerable without their armor
when picking my cards, I still make sure their speed wasn't that high which will put me at a disadvantage so I picked Baakjira which is a non attacking card as my frontline with the healing as my major target then pair it with a weapon training card Kulu Mastermind with opportunity ability. I was hoping he will use a healing card so I picked Captain Riverboat with affliction and blast ability, Deepluker came next to it with poison and opportunity ability, I need a tank healer so I picked Merdaali Guardian and lastly was djinn Oshannus with 5speed as a magic cards which is way out of order for me but the card is strong.
Usimg Possiblius the wise as my frontline made the win possible for me because this summoner came with 2 health, a trample ability and reach and since I use melee cards as my major card, the trample will always be activated whenever I destroy his card, I even use slow ability to give him the perfect reverse speed but when deepluker destroy his backline line, the trample made it destroy his doctor blight which would have stop my baakjira from healing. He came with baron fyatt which keep reducing my strength but that isn't enough for him because I destroy all his card and won the battle, when playing reverse speed, you really need to take note of the usual things.
