Introduction
This week battle mage secret is the Odd One Out ruleset. When I read this line I always think of odd one are out of your deck 🙈. But instead it is meant you only can select unit that have odd mana cost.
Lets have a look at this rules set.
Ruleset
Only units with odd mana costs may be used.
Note: Summoners are not affected by this rule.
Official ruleset information from splinterlands: List-of-In-Game-Rulesets
Abilities Synergies / Strategies
For this ruleset there are not special benefits or synergies with certain abilities or units.
This are my most played units in this rule set:
For me the most missed units are:
Avoid
Same goes for the avoid, there are no units to avoid just able to select fewer units.
Example battle
Strategy

Rulesets

All units will gain the close ranged ability. With this ability ranged attackers now can also attack from the first position.

This week rule set one odd mana cost units may be selected.
The Lineup
Summoner
| Card | Reason |
|---|---|
 | Do i need to say more. The extra health is very useful in a medium mana cap battle. |
Monsters Lineup
| #1 | #2 | #3 | #4 | #5 | #6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 |  |  |  |  |  |
Mycelic Morphoid (lvl 8)
In this setup I will go for an maximize the number of units and this is the first meat shield one with thorns.
Hill Giant (lvl 8)
This meat shield has blind when it strike and land
Chaos Agent (lvl 8)
Third meat shield to protect the damage dealers in the back
Fungus Flinger (lvl 8)
Hope my opponent will bring an opportunity unit so it killed before it get to to the front even if it get to the frontit will buff Regal Peryton
Regal Peryton (lvl 6)
This is the main unit and the team is build around it. hope it get buff so it start doing 3 damage every turn.
Djinn Biljka (lvl 3)
With 2 damage and camouflage nice unit to have in the back.
The Battle

Rounds
Start :
Lets analyze the battle setup. My opponent has select an pretty similar setup lucky I will not be targeting the Venari Marksrat else it would be an instant loss in my opinion. I bring 1 extra unit that will extend the battle just long enough to win I think.
Round 1:
One miss and I land my stun very important.
Round 2:
Another miss I might have luck on my side this battle.
His Regal Peryton is buffed now with 4 damage doing some serious damage.
Round 3:
Luck is really on my side in this battle two misses on the Chaos Agent. This is the reason why the Chaos Agent is such a popular unit.
Round 4:
Now my Regal Peryton and with enough health to take down his Djinn Biljka
Round 5:
Vicotry.
Conclusion
Love the battles with the "new" Martyr ability. Hope splinterlands will design some new cards/rule set or abilities to spice up the game.
The odd ones out rule set is a bit boring to write about sorry for that. Therefor it is an shorter battle challenge this week.
I hope to read some nice other battle reports that would inspire me for next time 🤣
