3.Fog of War - Monsters lose the Sneak and Snipe abilities.
4.26 mana
5.Only Fire, Water and Dragon Deck usable
Match Analysis:
This is a 26 mana match allocation. Only 3 types of decks are usable, although all monsters card for the 3 decks is usable but the limitations of the match makes my selection of monsters even more limited. Even Stevens cut out all of the odd mana monsters card that is usable in the 3 decks, furthermore from what i know most odd mana monsters are either Sneak / Opportunity monsters which is what i like to use. Since they are being cut out changing your strategy to magic or range monsters are much more advisable as melee monsters apart from the first position it is almost useless unless there are match limitations that allows them to attack.
Strategy:
Kelya Frendul 4 mana
Diemonshark 8 mana
Torrent Fiend 0 mana
Coral Wraith 4 mana
Riverboat Captain 6 mana
Merdhampir 4 mana
Total 26 mana
After finalizing my summoner mana left is 22.
No matter what type of lineups you are facing monsters with abilities to weaken the opponent monsters attack will always give you great advantages. Since the last few matches played by the opponent is a mixture of magic and melee lineups Fire and Dragon Deck which are more to armor based therefore does not seem attractive for me to use them. In the end i choose a more mixture Water Deck and needless to say my first monster Diemonshark although without any special ability in countering damages but this monster comes with high speed, HP and armor which will be a very good monster against any of the lineups. Well it does has it's flaws which is require a high mana to summon.
Mana Left 14
I suppose that with only 14 mana left to fill up all the lineup slots might not be possible, therefore i added in a Torrent Fiend as an extra tank. This move will only bring benefits to your team and Why not.
Mana left 14
Although Coral Wraith Sneak ability is being block but at only 4 mana magic attack of 2 and speed of 2 is worth the cost of mana.
Mana Left 10
Recently i got a new monster from daily chest drop Riverboat Captain and i have enough copies from daily chest to upgrade it to level 2 and it's ability seems good also having the "Blast" is like attacking 2 opponent monsters at one time.
Mana Left 4
Last but not least i choose Merdhampir although damage wise is only at 1 but it's ability "leech" can be very powerful and putting it at the last position might be a good tank for the back monsters, additionally if you are certain that opponent does not have a Sneak monster "Leech" can increase the HP of the monster.
Not forgetting all the monster speed are boost by the summoner and 1 extra armor is given also.

Into the match
The opponent use a mixture of melee, range and magic lineup which is what i did not really expect at all. However i am lucky that i choose Diemonshark as my main tanker, not only good with melee/range due to armor but also high HP against magics attack thus is buying more than enough time for the backliners to excute their actions. If you did watch the match carefully although the opponent summoner is only at level 3 but most of the monsters that is summon is not at Level 1 which gives them a big advantage on this match. However i manage to win this match might be because of the opponent having limited monsters selection to be summon or the strategy he is employing.
Did your strategy really works?
I think that in this match my "Strategy" does pretty well. Actually i am just want to fully utilize the mana allocated with the best combination that i have, at the same time I try to add in a bit of idea in choosing the higher speed monster that i have in this Water Deck. What i think is the Blast ability of Riverboat Captain and armor of Diemonshark that save the day by taking down opponent monsters fast and strong defense.
Liking for Riverboat Captain❤️❤️
First time using this monster, this monster did amaze me with it's ability although it only has 4 HP but when well protected can be a "gem" in your lineup.
