Are You Not Entertained?, Melee Mayhem, and Taking Sides. The allowed mana cap was 23 and all splinter summoners were active except Fire Splinter.Zintar Mortalis as a summoner for this battle because I have upgraded this summoner to level 4and it is easy for me to win battles with it. It is a beta edition Rare Death Splinter Summoner that costs 3 mana and has one ability to reduce the melee attack of all melee attack monsters in the enemy team by -1. Most of the time I use it in the battles because this is my favorite splinter summoner and it was the first summoner I upgraded in this game at the beginning. I have upgraded it to level 4 and mostly I am using it in my battles. Under this summoner, I can use up to level 5 common cards.
HAUNTED SPIRIT which is a beta edition rare melee attack monster from the Death Splinter. It costs 5 mana, does -2 melee damage, and has Heal ability at level 1. I have upgraded it to level 4 in which its melee attack increases to 3 and also gains one more ability Reflection. I mostly use this Death Splinter card in my battles because it is my favorite card that I use in the first position of the Death Splinter deck. I prefer to use it in the low-mana battles because it works really well for me. Here I used it in the first position because of its Healing and Reflection abilities.
SHADOWY PRESENCE which is a reward edition Epic no-attack monster from the Death Splinter. It costs 1 mana and has no ability at level 1. I have upgraded it to level 3 in which it gains one ability Strengthen which increases 1 life of all friendly monsters. Here in this battle I also used it because of its ability and high health. Currently, I have this monster at level 3 and it works really well for me in battles.
PHANTOM SOLDIER which is also a reward edition epic magic attack monster from the Death Splinter. It costs 8 mana, does a -2 magic attack, and has a Flying ability at level 1. I have upgraded it to level 3 in which its magic attack increases from 2 to 3 and also it gains the Silence ability. I used it in the third position because of its silence and flying abilities. I also mostly use it in my battles because of Silence's ability and high magic damage. Currently, I have this monster at level 3 and it works fine for me.
UNDEAD PRIEST which is a beta edition rare no-attack monster at level 1 from the death splinter. it costs 2 mana, does not attack, and has a Weaken ability at level 1. I have upgraded it to level 3 for a -1 magic attack. Here in this battle, I used it because of its Weaken ability which will reduce the health of the enemy team monsters by -1.
FALLEN SPECTER which is a reward edition legendary magic attack monster from the Death Splinter. It costs 2 mana, does -1 magic attack, and has one ability Flying at level 1. I have upgraded it to level 2 in which it gains one more ability Demoralize. I used it in the fifth position and in this battle because of its Flying and demoralizing abilities. The battle ruleset was of Melee Mayhem so I used it which will reduce the Melee attack of enemy team monsters by -1.
2 mana, has 2 speed, 2 health, gives -1 range damage, and has Affliction ability at level 1. I have upgraded it to level 4 in which its range attack increases from 1 to 2. Here in this battle, I used it because of its -2 range attack and Affliction ability.
