A new week, a new Battle Mage Secrets post! Hello everyone, welcome back to my Splinterlands blog! This weeks Battle Mage Secrets Challenge requires us to make a post about the wands out ruleset, it's a pretty straight forward ruleset in which we are only allowed to play magic cards.
To find out how you can participate in the challenge yourself, you can read the Splinterlands post here.
Only units with magic attacks may be used.
Use Phase, Void, Void Armor, and Magic Reflect to counter magic attacks.
So the Splinterlands Rulesets site explains it already, it does not mention one important ability though.... can you tell which one?
Silence!
Not a lot of cards in Silver and Bronze have this ability, actually, the only card in Modern League that has it is Elven Mystic, but it's market price today for a level 4 (when it gets the silence ability) is $61.77!!
So no silence for me in Modern 😅
In Wild league we have some more cards that have it, like Mushroom Seer and Crystal Werewolf, and a lot more in higher leagues.
So when you're able to combine these different abilities, like void, silence and spell reflect, you can make a team that takes 0 damage while let the other team commit suicide 😂.
Good thing I pulled it already on both my accounts, but not for this fight!
First look at the battlefield:
O wow, this is going to be a walk in the park, I hope it's a bot because the line-up in the other team is crap... I'm not complaining though 😁 most of the cards will be dead by their own fire in one or two turns.
So my strategy was just to minimize the incoming damage and reflect it, the damage that did come trough the void is going to be healed by two healers.
My Line-Up:
- Summoner: Immortalis - reason: Void.
- First position: Prismatic Energy - reason: Spell Reflect, good HP, enough to get healed effectively.
- Second position: Goblin Psychic - reason: Good damage, tank heal, affliction.
- Third position: Mushroom Seer - reason: Silence.
- Fourth position: Madcap Magus - reason: Good damage, its scattershot will hopefully hit low HP monsters.
- Fifth position: Wood Nymph - reason: Tank heal.
The Battle:
Round 1: Carnage! the only thing my opponent did well was the taunt / triage part but wow this is going fast! two killed and everything at 2 HP or lower, I think this will be my first fight that is over in two turns 🤣.
Round 2: Yup, all dead... and without any damage to my team 😁.
not a lot of SPS but this is Wild League and I played some under level cards, they're pretty expensive because they are older cards, I do have 1 BCX just for the ability, when you don't own it you can lose, now at least I won and got some SPS.
Modern is really though since the bot ban so I am playing modern but when I hit a losing streak I'll switch to wild to earn some chests before trying Modern the next day.
That's it for this weeks Battle Mage Secrets, I still need to make a Social Media Challenge post but I'll need to think about something nice to post first, I hope until next time!
Thank you for reading!!!
