The mana cap was only 24, and the team had to be built with only three elements, including Dragon, and the Earthquake Ruleset, which deals 2 physical damage to all non-flying cards every round from the second round onwards. I built the team with the Life element arcana archon Incessant Sage, which included a melee tank with the Weary ability, another melee attacker, and a Magic card with a divine shield. My strategy was simple and clear as I had a strong tank at the front, a heavy magic attacker with divine shield at the back and another melee card with flying ability in the middle which at first glance seemed to be dominating cards over the enemy team in every way but the enemy dominated my team by giving +2 health, Thorns, and Divine Shield powers to their relatively weak team through their Archon, after which my team became really weak on the battlefield when one of my cards got knocked out in the first round itself and I felt that I would lose this battle 100% because just think, only one of my cards had divine shield ability and all the 3 cards of the enemy had this ability, also the enemy's Thorns were directly affecting 2 out of 3 cards of my team because they were melee attackers.
The true role of Archon is revealed in such tough battle conditions where, due to mana cap or element limitations, you are not able to add enough strong and desired cards but your Archon, with his powers, empowers your team so much that you can create a strong presence on the battlefield. Because of this, my team felt that pressure right from the beginning of the battle and then at the beginning of the next round, Ruleset took effect and all the cards on the battlefield suffered 2 physical damage with which one of my most important cards was out of play and the enemy still had 2 cards left that too with more attack power and more health. I had lost hope of winning till here, but then a miracle happened where one of my Magic Attackers gave 2 health damage to the enemy's current tank after one attack. Although my card also suffered 2+2 damage, the earth of Splinterlands shook in an earthquake. And all the remaining cards suffered -2 ​​damage, and my opponent had to lose his current tank although after this, my only card was left with only 1 health, and the enemy's last card had 3 health. But I don't know whether you noticed this or not but now the enemy's last remaining card is a ranged attacker, which cannot perform attacks from the first position, which means it doesn't matter that it has 3 times the health of this card and here, due to the effect of the Earthquake ruleset I was able to win an almost lost battle.
