Battle rules

Symbol	Rule Effect
	Monsters with the lowest Speed attack first and have the highest chance of evading attacks.

Total Mana : 36
Usable elements : Fire, Water, Earth, Death and Dragon

Reverse speed with a medium amount of mana and most elements are available, in my mind the choices I have are earth or fire since those 2 element do have quite a few low speed units in them but since the mission mana amount is not that much I went with the earth element since some good cards in earth do have a low mana amount.

Team Composition

Card	Role	Reason
	Summoner	Obsidian with its +1 to magic damage its quite a strong unit to use since quite a few of the better earth units are magic damage dealers
	Main tank, Stun	Hill Giant has a low cost yet quite a good amount of hp is behind it and it has stun which is quite a powerful ability with a 50% proc rate
	Magic Damage, Heal, Affliction, Silence	Goblin Psychic with its Silence to reduce enemy magic attack, Affliction to stop enemy units from healing and its own healing ability to heal the front unit its an all round great unit to use
	Magic Damage, Armor Giver, Amplify, Triage	Queen Mycelia with its triage it can be used to heal the backline and by giving 2 extra points of armor to the team it can prevent a bit of damage
	Camouflaged, Void, Weaken	Djinn Biljka is Camouflaged so it cant be targeted which makes it quite a power magic damage unit and it does reduce the amount of health on the opponent's team by 1
	Range damage, Blast	Goblin Tower in the reverse speed ruleset there is a low chance for it to miss since its speed is so low and its a blast unit with quite a bit of firepower behind it which is quite good
	Taunt, Forcefield, Magic damage	Mycelic Slipspawn can be placed in the back as its a magic attack, has forcefield so all those 5 and above damage users will not be able to hurt it much

Now on to the Battle

Round 1

The opponent when with the other option that I had in mind and ran a fire team but the speed of the unit they had on average was quite high which does make them attacker later with the reverse speed ruleset.

nothing much happened this round most of it was trading hp damage, their team does not have a healer but does have armor repairers which only affects my goblin tower and hill giant as the rest of my team does magic damage.

Round 2

The goblin tower's blast damage did its job and removed the unit in the 2nd position reducing the damage burden on my team.

the low speed of my team allows my team to do quite a bit of damage on their main tank it would have been taken out by now but unluckily it has void armor making the magic damage hit the armor first.

This round ended with the Mycelic Slipspawn being taken out unluckily the force field ability did not trigger since the opponent units do damage under 5 while they lost their lava spider however their main tank's hp is extremely low allowing for a quick clean up the next round

Round 3 to The Last Round

The hill giant did a lucky stun the last turn making the opponent's main tank lose it turn this round and under the assault of the rest of the team it was taken out pushing a range unit without close combat to the front crippling it from attacking but it was taken out immediately pushing their last remaining attack to the front which was then stunned by the hill giant. The match reached its end since the their only attack was stunned allowing for my whole team to release a barrage of magic damage taking out the remaining units.

Strategy Talk

The strategy was revolves using the reverse speed ruleset to use slow units to attack first paired with a taunt tank to protect those weaker units and the addition of healer allow the taunt tank to last longer.

Mycelic Slipspawn is a strong unit due to its taunt ability, riftwatchers would change this since it has cards that target taunt units so until then its a pretty strong card to use

Good ruleset to use in:

Ruleset	Explanation
Holy Protection	Gives it a free negate for damage since it does not have a armor
Odd Ones Out	Since its an Odd Mana card it works in this ruleset
Explosive Weaponry	Double edged sword since it allows it to hit for more damage at the same time increases the amount of damage it receives
Armored Up	no problem for it since it deal magic damage
Keep your Distances	Magic unit so it can be used
Target practices	since its going to taunt attacks it not really affected by the damage but by being able to snipe it can skip the front unit which is quite good
