It was an easy pick off on my cards since the return ability is powerful against General Sloan's boost +1 Range attack to my monster on the field, and it was unfortunate of mistakes and poor forecast on this challenge. I did not expect Ilthain to be my opponent's choice, did I truly fall short on this and lose sight of the return ability, that's why I was thwarted by my opponent, it discomforts me that I was not able to notice his strategy and method, and going forward I should be more mindful when putting cards and summoners on the field. Because the SPS competition is a tough struggle, I consider this a learning experience.
Close range is not one of the rules that I like in the new all-three rule set because it appears that this rule only suits range attackers and there are many counters on this ability that I don't like to encounter, the advantage is that you can use your range attackers to be tank because it can attack on the first position because of this ability, but I don't want to do that because I will lose a slot for the best tank of it, the only way this rule is advantageous is that when the rules have that ranged attack only, this only I can say the best fits on this approach.
Close Range is a beneficial Rule Condition when you have a beast range attacker, such as ANCIENT REDWOOD from Riftwatcher Packs, who has 5 attack damage and 9 health for a level one card. This level 1 card had the ability of true strike so the attack will never miss so if your opponent will have returned fire ability that is so bad luck on your side.
And what I'm worried about is that there are many countermeasures to this battle rule, such as Ilthain and LIR DEEPSWIMMER. These summoners also supply Return Fire ability, so be cautious utilizing a lot of range attackers if they detect you will be crushed and outsmarted by your opponent.
Light Element Summoner
My advice for this sort of combat is to employ Ilthain when there is a Light element to battle, Death Element is also effective when you have Mimosa on your hand, but Ilthain is the most horrifying summoner to battle on this challenge since he has the power for reflecting damage to all monster on your field, while you can utilize your bomb squad range attack. Ilthain's core ability is Reflect range damage, which is why I recommend him when you confront people spamming distance physical attacks; they will be shattered into shreds as they experience an agonizing technique that will undoubtedly keep you on phase in every fight.
I have a prediction regarding this particular match since I only use my greatest summoner, which is my Sloan, and considering close range is to my advantage, I believe that General Sloan is the most effective and ideal choice to win this game. With 42 mana and odd ones out, plus the ability of rage, I was so certain in the fight that I forgot there was a counter on the range, Ilthain, who soon enough demolished me.
