Introduction
Hello there! 
This will be my entry for this weeks Battle Mage Secrets with the featured ruleset Fire & Regret. This is a ruleset that gives the Return Fire ability on all monsters.
The Battle that I will show to you this week was from my 
Fire & Regret
 Fire & Regret | All monsters have the  Return Fire ability. Return Fire will return reduced damage back to their attacker.Damage returned is equal to damage of attacker. divided by 2, rounded up. |
Basically, for this ruleset, the easiest strategy is to avoid using range monsters in battle which would end you up with either magic and range or a combination of both for your main damage but this also means that your attacks can also be easily countered with one attack type out of the picture.

This battle has a 47 mana cap to use for cards where the active ruleset were Aimless, Reverse Speed and the featured ruleset for this week which was Fire and Regret. With this in consideration, my lineup was consist of:
Summoner: Immortalis - Reduces the health of all opponent monsters by -1 as well as give all ally monsters with Void and Shatter ability, reducing the damage from magic attacks and breaks the armor of the target.
- 1st Position: Mycelic Infantry - A good tanks for Reverse Speed Battles which has Shield to reduce damage from melee and range attacks and has Enrage which will increase its health when its health was reduced. It also has Giant Killer that can deal twice the damage on targets which has 10 or more mana.
2nd Position: Queen Mycelia It has Protect which increases the armor of all ally monsters by +2 while removes the armor of enemy monsters by the same amount with Rust. It has the ability to heal backline monsters with Triage and can increase the output of reflected attacks by +1 with Amplify.
33d Position: Goblin Psychic - With Tank Heal, it can restore the health of the monster in front position while preventing its target from using heal with Affliction. It also has Silence which reduces magic damage and Dispel that removes the buffs of its target.
4th Position: Magi of Chaos - Has the ability to inflict double the damage on monsters with no attack using Oppress.
5th Position: Runi- With Opportunity, it will attack the monster with the lowest health which will not miss since it had True Aim and it was also immune to reflected damage since it has Reflection Shield. When it was defeated, it can also self- resurrect once with the help of Rebirth ability.
6th Position: Mycelic Slipspawn - It has Taunt which forces abled monsters to attack only this card and Slow which reduces the speed of all opponent monsters. It also has Forcefield which converts any damage inflicted to it that is 5 or more into 1.

Battle Recap
Here is a replay of the battle which at you can watch at Splinterlands.
Did My Strategy Work?
Since the Fire and Regret ruleset makes it disadvantageous to use range monsters, I have build my lineup with the combination of magic and melee monsters instead but also take in consideration that my opponent will do the same, I have make sure to use a lineup which could at least reduce the damage from both of those attack type. The opponent clearly thinks the same but what really close the match for me was using Runi which have ended up defeating 5 of the opponent monsters.
That was it for this post. Thank you and see you at the next one.
