TAUNT is a skill that, when used correctly, can be deadly and prevent the user from using skills such as SNEAK, SNIPE, OPPORTUNITY that can attack some of my fundamental monsters, which are the card to eliminate the opponent and others that regenerate life and thus give him more resistance.

One of the most powerful cards with these abilities that is an excellent tank is IZIAR, which in addition to having TAUNT also has the VOID ability, which gives it resistance to magical attacks by reducing them.

In this battle it will be seen as a correct use, protecting my monster with TAUNT and regenerating its life, it can be easily won, as we will see, the opponent could not kill a single card.

MY BATTLE

BATTLE CONDITIONS

In this battle we will have as a rule that all units will have magical reflection, so cards with magic will return a percentage of the damage they do (50%). This restricts the cards to be used since if we use magic attack when attacking our same attack it will cause damage to our same monsters.

In addition, all the monsters with ranged attacks will hit all the hits, which ensures that the cards with ranged attacks that we use will do all the damage.

We will also have the restriction that we will not be able to use cards with melee attacks, which tells us that we should mainly use cards with ranged attacks.

Additionally, we can use all colors except dragon and an amount of 35 mana, which is more or less moderate, will allow us to make an interesting strategy.

My Team

FRANZ RUFFMANE

This summoner is one of what I use the most because in addition to the fact that I can use a BRAWL card, which often gives me an advantage and allows me to win battles, in this case it will help me a lot since due to the battle conditions the opponent will use all the cards with a ranged attack or most of them and the shield that this summoner gives me will give resistance in 1 attack to my monsters.

IZIAR

This monster will be the center of my strategy as I mentioned the void will protect it from magic attacks which will give it more resistance if my opponent uses monsters with magic attack this could be the case with the green summoner IMMORTALIS which would allow him to use monsters with magic attack now that the VOID ability that this summoner gives them protects them from the MAGIC REFLECTION ability.

Additionally, the TAUNT ability will attract all attacks to this sample while my other monsters eliminate their monsters.

VENARI MARKSRAT

This card will help me if my enemy uses a card with BLAST, it will increase the speed of my RUNESLINGER and since he has a high speed, he will have more possibilities of applying the STUN, thus giving even more survival to my IZIAR by preventing the attack of one of his monsters. .

Furthermore, if my opponent managed to eliminate IZIAR, due to his high speed when increased by VENARI MARKSRAT, it gives him a greater chance of dodging attacks and thus being able to continue eliminating more of my opponent's monsters, giving a much greater chance of winning.

RUNESLINGER

This monster has a high speed of 4 and with its STUN ability it will allow me to protect my IZIAR from one or more attacks, giving my tank more survival.

AJAX LIGHTFOOT

This monster is for attack, it has 2 attack power and a very high speed of & but its BLOODLUST ability will allow while eliminating its monsters to increase its attack power thus helping to eliminate all its cards more quickly.

VENARI CRYSTALSMITH

This monster is very important because its ability to regenerate life to the monster in the first row will allow my **IZIAR ** to live many rounds without my opponent being able to defeat it because it regenerates a part of its life each round.

XENITH ARCHER

This is a simple support card that I placed since as I approached the maximum amount of mana allowed I could reach this monster so it would provide some attack that by the battle rules would always hit in addition to protecting my life healer if my IZIAR is eliminated and the opponent has a monster with SNEAK ability.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE BATTLE

RONDA 1

Here my enemy made a fatal mistake that made my victory even easier. My opponent summoned several cards with a magic attack and several of them with an attack of 1, which would allow them, due to my IZIAR's VOID ability, to not harm my monster but to receive one point of damage each turn. Furthermore, the shield did not allow them to harm him.

On this turn my VENARI CRYSTALSMITH attacks before my IZIAR is damaged so it does not regenerate this turn.

Although all of my enemy's monsters attack him, they only leave him at 9 life, which will give him more turns of life.

All my monsters attack his DJINN MUIRAT and leave him at 5 health so I have the advantage.

RONDA 2

But I managed to eliminate his DJINN MUIRAT and due to the ability to reflect magic damage and because my IZIAR has VOID I also eliminated his LIFE SAPPER since by not harming my monster due to the VOID ability this He does not increase his life with the** LIFE LEECH** ability, so he is eliminated by not regenerating and due to the previous damage he received from his attack due to the magic reflection, he is finally eliminated.

ROUND 3 to ROUND 6 final

Already in this round and even from the beginning my opponent never had a chance since he can only do 2 damage to me each turn and since my IZIAR is regenerated in life he will never be able to eliminate it while my monsters are eliminated as the turns go by one by one. one for each card I summon for combat.

As we can see, my team is intact and we achieved victory easily.

conclusion

Here we saw two things: firstly, how by using the combat rules correctly you can get an advantage and win and secondly, how my opponent used an alignment that had a great disadvantage with the combat rules he had and that was one of the reasons. of victory, since the ability to REFLECT MAGIC helped me eliminate their monsters.

But also not only that but my monster IZIAR and its VOID ability kept my monster safe since they never did more damage than my VENARI CRYSTALSMITH regenerated it and7 even if the magic damage was not reflected my opponent could only deal 3 damage and therefore he had lost this battle and never had a chance to defeat me.
