I am a new player. I catapulted myself into Silver I league by buying cards. At this level I am surprised at how many battles use non-standard rulesets. Most of them, it seems. Rulesets take quite some getting used to. There doesn't seem to be too much opportunity to practise because very few accounts practise at this level.
I've encountered the earthquake ruleset a few times. Under this ruleset, monsters without the flying ability suffer damage every round. In the past, I always threw together a team with the flying ability. And usually lost LOL. This time, I ignored it, and deployed my strongest team.
As you can see from the battle linked below, my opponent deployed only monsters with the flying ability, apart from his tank, the awesome Living Lava. On my team, only Enchanted Pixie had the flying ability.
On this occasion I won. I'm sure other combinations could have beaten me. What do you think? Is the best strategy for the earthquake ruleset to simply ignore it and deploy your strongest team?
