A Rare Undefeated Modern Gold league Gold foil Tournament

Hello, @Splinterlands folks around the world. It's been a long time since I published content about Splinterlands. My last Hive account@splinterlands content was a share battle weekly challenge submission, which is changed to Battle Mage Secrets, You can find out that on the Hive account@splinterlands blog. But, Today I will share some battle analysis from my recent Tournament win. It was a Modern Gold Foil Gold league tournament, created & hosted by Hive account@splinterlands. Around $766 worth of SPS was put into prizes & it was an anytime tournament (where you will get 24 hours' time to submit your battle). Now let's dive into the main topics.

As you can see there was some top player on the other side, on the first round there were 3 players from the legendary dragon guild, and in the final round, there were 3 top players from the summoner tribe guild. So I was extra careful during submit battle against those opponents😅. To submit those battles I took help from the Xbot Assistant service, You can read more here. So let's see how were those battles.

In this game, my opponent was SAMWISEG. As you can see the ruleset was melee monsters friendly and also magic/ranged attack friendly. I used all melee attack monsters and my opponent used mostly magic attack monsters. But because of the Target practice ruleset, I assumed he will use phase/dodge/backfire ability monster at a target position, so that opponent misses the attacks, and from that assumption, I used Byzantine kitty summoner, which comes with the true striker, tank heal and +2 attack speed. So, no more miss from my side. Besides all other monsters, Djiinn Chawla & Carnage Titan Played the lead role on the battleground.

This battle was against my fellow guild mate FIGHTER4-FREEDOM. This was low mana (15) game and the ruleset was Equalizer & Ferocity, So as it was a low mana match I had to choose low mana cost monsters. I go with both defensive and offensive strategies, I chose DRAKE OF ARNAK as my summoner which will give +1 armor to all friendly monsters and that will save some melee & ranged attacks. Low mana monsters usually don't have big health, but in this match, because of the Equalizer ruleset, I didn't have to worry about my monster's health. As I used armor buffed summoner so having a repair-friendly monster will be beneficial and that's why I used 1 mana Flame Monkey. Then I used 2 Melee attack monsters that have Opportunity ability. As a tank, I used Chaos Agent, because of his Phase & Dodge ability. The game-changer monster was Doctor Blight. Why ?? watch the battle and you will understand why 😉

One more 3 rulesets 54 mana battle, But you can only use maximum of 28 mana because of the little league ruleset. Also, only magic-attack monsters can be used in battle. As you can see my opponent HAMETARO used a full offensive attack and semi-defensive strategy. He used OBSIDIAN ( Earth splinter, Rare Summoner ) which cost 4 mana and gives +1 Magic attack buff to all friendly monsters. Also used Khmer Princess for tank healing ability and Elven Mystic for Silence ( -1 magic nerf to all enemy monsters) ability. From My side I used a full defensive strategy against my opponent, that's why I used OWSTER ROTWELL ( Death splinter, Rare Summoner ) which cost 3 mana and gives Magic Reflect abilities to all friendly monsters. As a tank I used Revealer because of his Immunity ability, then I used Venari Bonesmith for poison and life leech abilities, Both of us used Doctor Blight, My opponent used it in the last position but I used at 3rd position. I also used Spirit Hoarder because of his Triage ability and Elven Mystic for Silence ( -1 magic nerf to all enemy monsters) ability. It was a fun to watch this kind of battle, I hope you will also enjoy it.

Look who is our opponent 👀, One of the well-known and top tier Player BYZANTINIST. I was very worried during this battle submission. Who won't be ?? You have to choose the best of the best lineup to defeat the best. But it was a low mana game + Only Magic monsters can be used + Only Monsters with odd Mana can be used in battle. So it was very difficult to choose summoner & monsters even though there were very few options. We both choose Byzantine Kity (Dragon Splinter, Legendary summoner) which cost 7 mana and gives true striker ability to all friendly monsters, +2 speed & heals the tank. My opponent used Void Dragon which Have Void ability and also Phase ability (One of the best monster to use against magic attack) & Tortisian Chef for Tank heal. So he used double Tank heal, But I used RUNEMANCER ATUAT (Life splinter, Legendary Monster) which has Last stand ability. So his 2 against my 1, but the Last stand was the game changer. As Runemancer Atuat has Last Stand, it can be a great card to play in a low mana ruleset, That's what I did here. Because of true striker buff from my summoner, every hit cause damage to void dragon, but because of his double heal and void ability, this match goes over 20+ round and finally I won the match. It was the most awaited match for me out of all other matches.
