Splinterlands Battle Of The Week: ?Taunt to Ferocity?

With the ruleset and element pick that I got I had mainly two summoner options
One was Fire and the other was Water
The water element was possible stronger but it was going to cost a lost more mana than I had for this battle to make this water comp work
So in my case I went with fire element as I had a decent low mana ranged team there
Eternan Brune was mainly picked because of his high level but also his -2 armor as ranged monster had to hit armor first and finally because of his Conscript ability which enabled me to play a single Gladius monster for this team
Conscript - One extra gladiator card may be used in battle

Lava Launcher was my main tank for this battle
Main reason I like Lava Launcher here a lot is his Close Range ability
Even tho I picked a high mana cost summoner I still decided to go with a high mana first monster also as I just needed someone strong in front
The second reason was that my summoner + first monster left me exactly with 3 mana which was enough for my second and last monster
Also the reason I was fine with him costing so much was that Lava Launcher was just an amazing tank and damage dealer in one
Close Range - Can use ranged attacks from the first position

For last but not least was a wonderful Gladius monster Sarius
As a played Conscript summoner and had exactly 3 mana left it just seemed logical to play Sarius here
For 3 mana Sarius has amazing stats being 3 ranged damage, 3 speed, 5hp and her amazing Bloodlust ability which hopefully was going to come in clutch later in this battle
Bloodlust - +1 to all stats after dealing a killing blow

After seeing the starting board I was quite scared at the start as my enemy had higher level cards than I did and also the Headwinds ability which was going to counter both of my monsters hard
But then I saw my enemy played a taunt monster which was a big mistake on his part as Ferocity was active and that meant if I managed to get to him he was going to fall fast
Even tho I was 1 level down with my summoner I still had more damage on board which made me a little happy and hopeful for the battle
But my predictions could still be off by a mile so lets start the battle and have a look

After the first round the board was still looking quite the same as in the start
I had managed to damage my enemies first monster leaving him on 1 hp while my enemy only did 3 armor damage to my Lava Launcher
At this point i felt like I was a little stronger than my enemy as next round I was going to take down his first monster which meant I was going to get back my ranged damage and also was then able to get some huge damage on his Taunt monster
But anything could still happen so lets keep watching

After 2nd Round the battle was 100% decided as in the start of the next round I was going to take down his second monster leaving him with only one monster left who could not attack from the first position
Even tho the battle was already decided lets still make a stop on each round that was left as there was not going to be very many of them

Up to this point my Bloodlust monster havent still got any take downs but this was not going to matter
My enemy was now at one monster left who could not attack from the first position and that sealed the battle
Now I just needed to wait for the start of the next and last round and then claim my victory

This battle was definitely heavily one sided but still fun to watch
The strategy to take away from this battle is the basic do not play Taunt monsters when the Ferocity ruleset is active
My enemy basically waisted 8 mana as his Wave Brood did almost 0 damage and died really fast
