Summoner chosen:
For this battle, I picked the Mylor Crowling summoner since I wanted to take advantage of the thorns ability. I anticipated my enemy would bring melee attack monsters.
1st Position
I picked Fungus Fiend to be in the first position and lead my team. Fungus Fiend is a zero mana card but with a health of 2, a speed a melee damage of 1. It helped me have more monsters considering the overall mana for the battle was quite low.

Unicorn Mustang from my line up stepped into position 1 and was attacked by my enemy’s Mycelin Morphid. This reduced by health by 1 but a return thorns damage was done to my enemy which reduced the health of his first card to 0 and hence killed it. This ended the first round of the battle.
