Hey Everyone
This is the second challenge I have taken part in where I did not have the actual card for the challenge as this week it is the Spineback Turtle.
I decided instead to make it a challenge of Protecting the Life's Lives.
The extra goal of this challenge is to win without having any deaths on my side.
I get one attempt win or loss. My record before this is 2-1 in these battle challenges, read on to see what happens this time...
The Battle!
- The Ruleset
I have to say I do think this ruleset was a little lucky since life has some great lower cost cards and my opponent could only use death, life, or fire.
Knowing that my life team would not be heavy hitting but would need to survive due to this challenge I set meant that MOTHER KHALA was the right summoner for the job at just 3 cost in this low mana battle.
Now that the summoner was decided I had 11 mana to fill out the rest of the team. Once again due to the challenge I put the TRUTHSPEAKER into my team so I could get the protect ability to give all the monsters +2 armour.
Now this means I have 8 mana left and I currently have 0 damage being dealt.
In order to fix this problem I decided I would use one of my favourite life cards.... TIME MAGE
With the slow ability at level 1 and 4 speed not only will I attack first but there is a chance the enemy will miss an attack or two.
Now with just 4 mana left I need more damage. I decided to focus on opportunity as with a low mana matchup it is rare so someone to use many positional cards that can withstand opportunity hits.
I have 2 cards that fit that description perfectly... CELESTIAL HARPY
And... BATTERING RAM
Battering Ram is reduced to 1 speed as I don't have a levelled up summoner but that is still enough.
THE RESULTS
Right away I noticed the enemy did not have a lot of back row health which meant unless I missed most of my hits, I would take out their back row before they could take out any of mine.
Towards the end of Round 1, I realized I was going to achieve my challenge goal, winning without losing a single member as the magic attack would avoid being blocked their effect and armour.
