Who would win in this SteemMonsters battle?

I have become a real fan of the Lyverian  Splinter. Perhaps that's because it is what I have the most of in my @SteemMonsters deck. My Spirit of the Forest in particular is a force to be reckoned with! I'm always trying different configurations for Teams, and then when I settle on something that works well, I tend to pump it for a while. Of course, that doesn't work out so well if the Conflict is something like Lost Legendaries, or when I'm trying to achieve a particular Daily Quest which requires me to win 10 battles with a different Splinter. That is when my Lyverians  tend to let me down a bit. Fortunately, I have a great SteemMonsters guild behind me, the @ContestKings Guild, and I can rely on them to help me out when I get into a tight spot and need to borrow some extra firepower.

Even so, I have won some rather surprisingly unmatched battles. Sometimes I just get lucky, and the random numbers that the SteemMonsters codebase uses occasionally will go my way; my hit lands when it might have missed, or an opponent misses when I thought I was a goner, and I get an opportunity to make a comeback from near-death. This is what keeps the game so interesting for me. It isn't just about buying the best cards and thereby winning every battle.

Here is an example of a rather mismatched battle. It was played under the Standard Ruleset  and with a Mana Cap  of 20. My challenge to you is to tell me who will win this battle (either @player1 or @player2), how many rounds the battle will last for, and how many Monsters will be left on the battlefield after the battle? Everyone who guesses correctly will go into a draw to win a eta Edition Malric Inferno from my Hive account@davtomsis alt account.

🎯 Action(s) Required

• To enter this contest, simply post a reply to this post, with the name of the player that you think will win the above battle, either @player1 or @player2, and add how many rounds the battle will go on for, and how many Monsters  you think will survive at the end of the battle.
• All correct entries will be considered as equally likely to win, so this isn't a "first correct entry wins" type of contest. The winner will be drawn from among the correct entries.

The Draw

• The names of all contest entrants who have submitted a valid and correct entry will be entered into this random name picker from MiniWebTool and a winner will be selected at random.
• The winner announcement post will contain a screenshot showing all the names of those who submitted valid and correct entries, along with the random winner selected. If possible, there may also be a video of the draw, depending on technical capability. The draw will not be livestreamed, however, as I already know that this is beyond my current capabilities, sorry.

🎁 The Prize

I have one eta Edition Malric Inferno card to give away as a prize for this competition. This card is verifiable on the Steem blockchain, to make sure that I have it in my collection at present. It is being held in my alt account, Hive account@davtomsis, for safe keeping. Here is the list of prizes for this contest...

Malric Inferno Level 1 (ID: C1-5-44IN6FFV80)
_{NOTE: Clicking the link for the card id will take you to the SteemMonsters API, where you can verify that I currently own this card as Hive account@davtomsis. Once the prizewinner has been announced and the prize sent out, this link will show the new owner of the card, instead.}
