For this battle, we have the featured rule set Little League were the only summoner and monster that can be used cost 4 mana or less together with Unprotected that removes the armor of all monsters and Rise of the Commons were only common and rare monsters can be used. Given this conditions, my lineup was consist of.

• Summoner: I used Quix the Devious which gives - 1 speed and range on all opponent monsters since all monsters does not have any armor.
  
  

• 1^st Position: Xenith Monk has huge health and has the Heal ability that will recover some of the damaged it receives as well as Void and Magic Reflect which reduces magic damage and return a portion of magic attacks towards the attacker,
  
  

• 2^nd Position: Twilight Basilisk that has reached so it can still do melee attacks even at second position and Stun which has 50% chance to stop opponent in attacking for a turn.
  
  

• 3^rd Position: River Nymph has the Cleanse ability to remove any negative status effect on the first position monster together with Amplify that increases reflected damage and Swiftness to increase the speed of all ally monsters.
  
  

• 4^th Position: Dhampir Infiltrator has the Double Strike ability partnered with Sneak that can attack backline opponent twice. It also has Cripple that reduces the max health of the target and Affliction that prevents the target to be healed.
  
  

• 5^th Position: Pelacor Bandit also has the Sneak ability to attack backline monsters and Flying that increases dodge chance by 25%.
  
  

• 6^th Position: Naga Assassin Also got Swiftness to increase the speed of all ally monsters along with Backfire that would deal damage if the attacker miss its attack.

^17-18/18 The opponents Xenith Monk restores its health and deals 2 damage on Twilight Basilisk.

• Round 4 and 5:

^1/8 Naga Assassin deals 2 damage on Xenith Monk.

^2/8 Pelacor Bandit deals 3 damage on Failed Summoner.

^3-4/8 Twilight Basilisk defeats Xenith Monk.

^5-8/8 Dhampir Infiltrator deals 2 damage on Failed Summoner.

As there is no way for Failed Summoner to attack, it was defeated by the combined damage of Naga Assassin and Pelacor Bandit which ends the battle in my win.

With only monsters with more or less mana that are useable in battles with their armors removed, I prioritized speed in order for my units to be able to attack first and with it, I was able to defeat my opponent monsters only giving them very few chance to attack. Many of the cards I used in this battle are reward cards which has proven how useful they can be in battle.
