Introduction
Hello there! 
This will be my entry for this weeks Battle Mage Secrets with the featured ruleset Explosive Weaponry. This is a ruleset that gives the Blast ability on all monsters.
The Battle that I will show to you this week was from my 
Explosive Weaponry
 Explosive Weaponry | All Monsters have the  Blast ability.Blast is an ability that inflicts damage on monsters that are adjacent to the target. |
The best strategy is to have fast monsters with Snipe, Sneak, Opportunity and Scattershot. For defense, Shield and Void will come in handy.

Battle Recap
Here is a replay of the battle which at you can watch at Splinterlands.
Did My Strategy Work?
And with it comes the end of my battle for this week with Explosive Weaponry ruleset. As you see, both parties got Reflection Shield with them in order to block the damage from Blast and what it ends up was who will defeat the opponent first which at some point, I thought I would lose if not for my Poison working on the target on the first attack.
That was it for this post. Thank you and see you at the next one.
