battle mage secrets: keep your distance

I had noticed that it's only at the end of the month and the beginning of a new month that our power supply is a bit stabilized. And this is because they know that when it's the end of the month, they will want to move around to collect NEPA bills, and people will not pay a dime if they don't see what they are paying for. They are smart, but not smart enough.

Because of the stable power supply, I was able to play more than enough battles in a day. As of yesterday, I had played nothing less than 30 battles. And if there is power supply today too, I will continue my battle, as the only constraint I have is just that.

Here are some of the battles I played this week: Battle rules keep your distance, which means monsters with melee card attacks may not be used in battle. And an 18-mana cap was given to me. Meanwhile, three elements were also present.
I messed up this time. I was with my cards, and my opponent was so smart to select enough cards that could beat me. I was not expecting that, though. But I believe I can do better next time.

Since the rules say a monster with a male card may not be used, I only have three elements to pick from. I picked Thaddius, the summoner. We all know what the summoner can do. I like to select it because of the fact that it has enough monsters with good abilities. I mean, you are missing if you are not using Thaddius summoner.

Meanwhile, I had already leveled up my summoner and monsters to level 8. This will give me opportunities to use and have different abilities, and I've been using this to oppress my opponents most of the time.

I move ahead to select the Helheim demon. Which has flying and taunting abilities since I can't use melee cards.
I also selected Venari Bonesmith. This card has a lifetime reach.

It's health increases anytime it attacks any opponent and does damage to them. Also have poisoning abilities. This unit attacks have a 50% chance to apply poison, which does automatic damage to the opponents anytime it's applied poison to them at the beginning of every round. Also choose dispel; this unit clears all positive abilities anytime it hits opponents.

Meanwhile, my opponent chose some astonishing cards that were able to defend my card and defeat me. He chooses the chaos animator. In the front role.
Chooses riftwing with the abilities of a flying scavenger trained. Meanwhile, this card is a magic card and can attack from anywhere.

It also chooses Moxian rebels with the abilities of weapons training. This is also a magic card that can attack from anywhere.

It also chooses a chaos agent. Which happens to be a magic card and can attack from anywhere.
Lastly, he chose Xenith Archer. This is a range card and can attack from afar.
I lost the match because, first, I wasn't thinking enough to select just two cards. And he won because he was so smart to choose cards that have a lower mana cap but can attack from afar.
