3.HOLY PROTECTION - All Monsters have the Divine Shield ability.
4.55 mana
5.Fire, Life, Water, Earth Deck is usable
Match Analysis:
This is a 55 mana match allocation. Only 4 types of decks are usable and any neutral monster can be summon into the battle to aid in the fight. From my point of view i choose Fire Deck which is a more melee / range based deck which goes well with the match limitations therefore i believe that i have slight advantages over the opponent if opponent is not using melee / range based decks. Most of the defense monster in Fire Deck comes with armor which is a very useful tool and not forgetting the "Shield" ability that will lessen the damages by range / melee. My favorited Fire Deck summoner is Tarsa not only because of it's high level which i have upgrade but also the fact that the summoner buff is very beneficial to my summon monsters, since Sneak and Opportunity monsters is what i like to use and most of them are melee damage. Tarsa summoner buff will stand out in this match limitation by adding extra attack to all the ally monsters.
Strategy:
Tarsa 4 mana
Living Lava 7 mana
Ferox Defender 8 mana
Lava Launcher 9 mana
Tenyii Striker 5 mana
Sand Worm 9 mana
Pyromaniac 6 mana
Total 48 mana
After finalizing my summoner mana left is 51. For such a "Heavy" match a powerful tanker must definitely be summon and tanker ability should not be forgotten as well. As they are the first to meet the monster and also an important mission in protecting the whole lineup thus Living Lava is a very suitable monster that i will summon as the first tanker. Living lava with it's armor of 2 and also Shield ability makes it a very powerful defense monster and not forgetting it's "shield" ability and especially useful against the match limitations. However a downside of it is a summoning cost of 7 but since this match mana allocation is almost "unlimited" so shouldn't be a problem here.
Mana Left 44
I choose Ferox Defender as my next tank although it's does not have the "Shield" ability like Living Lava but it is greatly compensated with its adding armor ability that does not only apply to 1 monster but all the allies. This moves is like a great boost to all my monster that have or does not have armor like bestow them with more HP living longer in the match.
Mana Left 35
Living Lava acting as my 3rd tank and also attacker, i place it after Ferox Defender as it is still a Range monster so it is still able to throw out damages to the opponent monsters and placing it too front in the lineup can be a waste to this range although it is able to throw out damage at any position.
Mana Left 26
I choose Tenyii Striker as my attacker as it is a Sneak monster which is what i like to use and after some upgrade to this monster the ability with its stats are very impressive as a all rounded monster.
Mana Left 21
Sand Worm after Tenyii Striker, it is also a Sneak monster so when added together with any Sneak monster will always be a good choice to bring down opponent monsters from the back.
Mana Left 12
Last monster to summon is Pyromaniac, normal i will choose a melee monster which can benefit from the buff by the summoner but i choose this because of its high speed and with the extra armor of Ferox Defender this can be a good choice to avoid monsters attack with high speed and also attacking.

Round 5E:
Into the match
The opponent use a melee / range lineup with a mixture of magic monster which is to lower down the speed of my monsters, i agree that it can be a great advantage to them but this means a slot is wasted. A big point that the opponent Summoner is only at Level 3 but all the opponent monsters are either at Level 3 or 4 which is clearly outpowered my monsters.
Did your strategy really works?
My strategy of adding armor works pretty well in this match and adding in Sneak monsters to bring down opponent monsters from the back and this moves buy more time for my Living Lava and the extra armor really do very well n terms of protection as the opponent monster has the "Scsttershot" ability but my extra armor help to tank the damage.
