Earthquake: You Take Damage as The Ground Shakes, Unless...

• Protect and Divine Shield if monsters have extra armor and divine shield, their health won't be reduced so easily while when attacked by melee monsters or use melee monsters to attack the opponent.

• When there is a Earthquake ruleset, expect that the opponent to have monsters with lots of armor so Rust could also be useful.

• Counter abilities will also be handy to have such as Snare that removes the Flying ability of the target and Shatter which will remove all the armor of the opponent.

• Its Ideal to have the Flying ability on this rule set to avoid damage but Having Shield would also help reduce the damage taken from Earthquake and any form of heal can allow monsters to sustain damage if they do not have Flying.

For this battle, we have the featured rule set Close RangeEathquake which inflicts 2 damage on all monsters without Flying ability as well as Broken Arrows and Evens Stevens. Given this conditions, I choose the following cards for my line- up:

• Summoner: Grandmaster Rathe gives +1 armor on all allied monster with Void Armor so magic attacks cannot directly damage health and has Amplify which increases the damage for reflected attacks.
  
  

• 1^st Position: I used Pelacor Conjurer as it has huge health and was very fast given that it only cost 2 mana with Divine Shield that makes it immune on the first attack of the opponent. It also has Flying which makes it immune to Earthquake while also giving 25% of evading melee and range attacks and Phase to evade magic attacks while also reflecting magic damage through Magic Reflect.
  
  

• 2^nd Position: I placed the Soul Fiend as secondary tank for added speed with Swiftness as well as serving as target from Opportunity attacks.
  
  

• 3^rd Position: I placed Vulguine as it can increase its health for every monster that got defeated in the match through Scavenger so it could also last longer to be another tank.
  
  

• 4^th Position: I placed Celestial Harpy with Flying so it does not received damage from Earthquake and has the Opportunity ability to target monsters with the lowest health without missing cause it also has True Strike.
  
  

• 5^th Position: I placed Dax Paragon to inflict magic attacks to the opponent and inflict Affliction if the opponent has someone with heal.
  
  

Round 1:

• The 1^st one to defeat an opponent was my Celestial Harpy for attacking Soul Fiend that got the opponent lose speed but was able to gain the Vulguines and Doctor Blight 1 health.

• The opponent Celestial Harpy attacks my Soul Fiend, losing its armor.

• Dax Paragon attacks Vulguine which activated its Enrage, gaining 5 damage and speed, attacks my Pelacor Conjurer but does not receive damage because of Divine shield.

• Doctor Blight attacks Pelacor Conjurer with magic but missed.

Round 2:

• After the Eartquake damage, my Soul Fiend was defeated, gaining health for the Vulguines and Doctor Blight and also removes the armor for my Vulguine and Dax Paragon.

• The opponents Vulguine attacks my Pelacor Conjurer but missed.

• The opponents Celestial Harpy attacks mine and got its armor removed. Mine attacks back and defeated their Vulguine, earning another health for my Vulguine and Doctor Blight.

• Dax Paragon attacks the opponents Pelacor Conjure but missed.

• Doctor Blight attacks my Pelacor Conjurer and got its armor removed while inflicting Affliction. Pelacor Conjurer reflects the damage and Doctor Blight received 2 damage instead.

Round 3:

• After Earthquake damage, Vulguine, Doctor Blight and Dax Paragon received 2 damage each.

• Dax Paragon got defeated by Celestial Harpy which my Celestial Harpy attacked for 2 damage. Vulguine and Doctor Blight gains 1 health each.

• Doctor Blight attacks Pelacor Conjurer but missed.

Round 4:

• After rule set damage, Vulguine and Doctor Blight takes 2 damage each which resulted to the defeath of Doctor Blight and has earned Vulguine 1 health. Weaken was also deactivated so our health backs to normal.

• Opponent Celestial Harpy attacks Vulguine for 2 damage and my Celestial Harpy attack it back, turning its health into 1.

Round 5:

• Since the opponent Celestial Harpy only has 1 health, it was defeated by mine which has earned Vulguine 1 health.

Round 6-10:

• After rule set damage, Vulguine was defeated which only left Celestial Harpy as the attacker but since the opponent's side has no monsters to attack, the match was already won but since opponent's Pelacor Conjurer does not take damage, it took until round 10 before I defeated it but could take longer if I don't have True Strike.
