Drybone Raider the hidden Killer with Double Strike

Heyyy yooooo
what's up Splinter Player around the world how are you doing? I want to share my battle using my scholar account so that mean the battle is in Diamond Modern Format League. And in this content i will sharing that double strikes ability with reach abilities is really usefull in Even Stevens ruleset battle. With the restrictions that just only can using Even mana monster cost. This battle will be more challenging to arrange the line up strategy. So many good monster that have even mana cost. But, don't forget that arrange strategy is not just placing all great monster in the line up. But, still need arrange the combination the ability,ruleset,and the status of all monster. And in this battle because the Even Stevens restriction ruleset. It will be hard enough to arrange the line up. Before entering and discussing the strategy and the battle lets see the ruleset first.

Okay since you guys know that the ruleset is Broken Arrows lets knowing this ruleset a little bit deeper.This ruleset description is

Only units with even mana costs may be used.
This rule does not apply to summoners.

So basically this ruleset is just make both player need to think and combining the monster with good ability and status but only with the even manacost. Thats not a big deal sometimes because there is many good and great monster in even manacost. So lets see how i arranged my line up in this ruleset battle.

Strategy Phase

As you can see in the picture above this battle have 3 ruleset, the first ruleset is Maneuvers new ruleset that all monster will having reach ability. So, we can placing Melee monster type ability in second place. The second ruleset is FabFour this is new ruleset too that means we can only bring 4 units only in this battle. And the last but not least EvenStevens that means we just can only bringing even monster manacost.
The manacap that can be used is 58 that is pretty huge, and element that can be used in this battle is Fire, Earth, and Dragon Element. That will be pretty hard to choose and pick what element that pretty good for this battle since the restriction is pretty much. So i think this battle will be the giant monster battle. So lets see how i will arrange in this battle you can see in the table below

Card	Position	Ability	Reason
	Summoner	+1 Health Camouflage Triage Ability	I am using Lily Shieldpaw as a summoner for hiding my monster from the Opportunity monster or sneak monster. So it will focused to attacking on my frontline tanker. And it will make my second position monster until 4 position monster will attacking without worrying got attacked.
	Frontline Tanker		Mycelic Infantry is one of the rare monsters that can be a good frontline tanker with having shield ability. And if opponent using High manacost that above 10 the giant killer ability will active and will gives double damage. And the last ability is Enrage. So this monster attack will having 1,5 times. It pretty huge amount damage. But this monster weakness is magic type attack and this monster speed is pretty slow.
	Second Tanker		I am using Grund for second line up because this monster can attack twice and with the Maneuvers ruleset this monster will having Reach ability that can make this monster attack even though in second place. And this monster having trample ability that if defeat opponent frontline tanker will gives additional attack to opponent line up. And with cripple ability opponent will get reduced the max health.
	Attacker		I am using Chaos Dragon for this battle because this monster having Blind ability that can make opponent will have chance to missing attacking my line up except using magic type attack. And this monster is having scattershot ability that can randomly target on opponent line up. But the best ability for this monster is Blast ability that can gives adjacent targeted monster unit will get damage too.
	Attacker		I am using Drybone Raider in this battle because this monster is having double strike ability that can make this monster will attacking twice with range type attack first and if this monster going to front it will attacking with melee attack too. Also this monster having shatter ability too that can destroy any armor that opponent have.

So this is my 4 monster that i bring in this battle. Overall i am using many high mana cost monster for this battle because i need to utilize the manacap that available. I think opponent will using the same strategy with me will using high manacost monster in this battle.
But, lets go see how the battle going.

Battlephase

This time i am encountered with human player maybe because i know him last year but i dont know for now. If still same player i think this player is pretty good and this time he using Immortalis as summoner, so it will make my Chaos Dragon got damage reduction due the void ability.So without further ado lets look the battle from round 1

Round 1 Part 1

as usual in round 1 both parties got buff and debuff from both summoners and monsters. This time my team got

• 1 Health buff from my Summoner Lili Shieldpaw ability
• Camouflage ability from my Summoner Lili Shieldpaw
• 1 Health debuff from opponent Summoner Immortalis ability
• 1 Health debuff from opponent Dr Blight Ability Weaken
• 1 Magic Damage Debuff from opponent Goblin Psychich ability Silence

In opponent line up just get Blind effect from my Chaos Dragon ability blind. After buff and debuff stuff, then the battle started. And the first attacker goes to my Chaos Dragon that attacking opponent Mycelic Infantry and opponent Drybone Raider got Blast damage. Then following by my Grund attacking opponent Mycelic Infantry twice but only just break the armor. But the cripple ability make Mycelic Infantry maximum health drop to 8. Lets continue in part 2

Round 1 Part 2

In part 2 after my Grund attacking opponent Mycelic Infantry then opponent Drybone Raider attacking my Mycelic Infantry and after using range attack to my Mycelic Infantry than my Mycelic Infantry armor break due the shatter ability then the total attack that opponent Drybone Raider given to my Mycelic Infantry is 3. Fortunately that Mycelic Infantry have shield ability that can reduce the range and melee damage. After that my Mycelic Infantry gives damage to opponent Mycelic Infantry. Then my Drybone Raider gives double strike to opponent Mycelic Infantry that make the total maximum health be 6 in this turn. Then opponent Dr Blight damaging my Mycelic Infantry and just gives affliction status. Then my Mycelic Infantry attacking opponent Mycelic Infantry. And then opponent Mycelic Infantry counter and defeated my Mycelic Infantry. Not to good for round 1. Then the last is opponent Goblin Psychic attacking my Grund and gives affliction status after healing opponent Mycelic Infantry.

Round 2

After looking in round 1, my position is not very good. I lost my frontline tanker in round 1. And opponent still having the frontline tanker. He having healer too, and dont forget he brings Dr Blight too that can gives poison and affliction status. That will be very hard to beat this guy. The first attacker in this round is still my Chaos Dragon attacking and this time my Chaos Dragon attacking opponent Drybone Raider. And giving splash damage to opponent Mycelic Infantry and Goblin Psychic. Then follwing by my Grund defeated opponent Mycelic Infantry in the second attack and gives trample attack to opponent Drybone Raider and break the armor. Then opponent Drybone Raider attacking twice my Grund and still cannot defeated my Grund. Then my Drybone Raider attacking opponent Drybone Raider twice with range attack but still cannot defeat it. Then opponent Dr Blight attacking my Grund and gives affliction and Poison status this time. And the last is opponent Goblin Psychic attacking my Grund. There still leaving with 2 Health, it will make Grund next turn died due the Poison effect.

Round 3

After looking round 1 and round 2 i think my team will the lose one. The opponent looks like more firm than my team. I think using Immortalis is better than using Lily Shieldpaw. In round 3 as i said my Grund died horribly due the poison damage. Then my Chaos Dragon just can attacking opponent Drybone Raider and gives blast attack to opponent Goblin Psychic. The good part is my Drybone Raider is having good position with reach ability that ruleset given. Then my Drybone Raider defeated opponent Drybone Raider with first range attack then the melee damage attacking Goblin Psychic. And after that the second range and melee attack defeated opponent Goblin Psychic. And after that the last is opponent Dr Blight attacking my Chaos Dragon and gives affliction and poison status. I think after my Drybone Raider reaching second place then the table can turned. In this turn opponent just leaving with Dr Bligh only and yet in my team still having Chaos Dragon and Drybone Raider.

Round 4

In round 4 before the battle started my Chaos Dragon got poison effect first then my Chaos Dragon attacking Dr Blight first. And in this turn with double strike range and melee attack to Dr Blight, finally my Drybone Raider can beat opponent Dr Blight in this turn.I cannot believe that placing Drybone Raider in the last row will make my team win. Yeah i think this is just lucky because the reach ability.

Drybone Raider the hidden killer with double strike

Conclution

So, after experiencing this battle. I think in Even Stevens ruleset battle, using high even manacost monster is pretty good. But, really you need focus in assembly the team. It is just luck that i am wrongly right placing my Drybone Raider in the last position that can be the key to defeat opponent line up. Looking in round 1 and 2 my line up can be easily get ridden by opponent monster. But, after opponent Drybone Raider died, and mine still alive. That makes the table turn. So using Double strike ability in this Even Steven ruleset is still pretty good. But, remember this ruleset Even Stevens is just gives restriction to player that cannot using odd mana cost monster. thats it, you still need combining the status of monster and ability in other ruleset. But, i can say that many monster with Even Manacost is still better than odds monster and still can combined in the battlefield. More easy than combined odds monster manacost.
