Today's battle was quite balanced and exciting, in a close fight between Earth and Water.

The Target Practice rule (all ranged and magic attack have Snipe) is very interesting and both sides made good choices.

Battle Link: @marianaemilia vs @uwelang

Normally in this type of combat Lord Arianthus is chosen for the second position to absorb arrows and reflect magic, but we are also in the Taking Sides rule, without neutral creatures!

Therefore, one should think carefully about choosing the card for this position.

I chose Failed Summoner which has a generous amount of hit points and can Reflect Magic.

My opponent came with the Mermaid Healer who can heal herself with Triage and maybe survive for some time.

Blast cards are very effective and devastating in this type of fight as they inflict damage on 3 enemy monsters with each attack, and my opponent wisely chose the powerful Ruler of the Seas and also the Pirate Archer.

My advantage, in my view, is more speed since I have 2 cards that influence this aspect, Brownie and Swamp Thing, in addition to that my archers are also faster.

Wood Nymph's choice was also not bad, I assumed that without the Lord's presence she would have a better chance of surviving.

My Brownie in the first position was able to evade the first attack of the menacing Naga Warrior, who narrowly failed to finish my last cards and win.

In my opinion, this was a very instructive and exciting fight, battles like this make me realize how interesting and wonderful this game is!
