Push Hard to Leaderboard Wild Diamond League

Helliiaawww
what's up Splinter Player around the world how are you doing?
Now i am write about my last day climbing top Leaderboard in Wild Diamond Leagues that very hard for me because i am renting the card and all total in 1 season around 20k DEC and fortunately i am got in leaderboard this season so i got the good reward this season

From this picture you can see i got 10k DEC from the wild leaderboard Prize. Sadly i am not in top 25 but get top 40 so i got just 10k DEC. I hope next season i can entering in top 25 so i get 20K reward prize.

But, it is okay this is my second time trying to get Leaderboard in last 2 season the last season i got nothing just got number 40+. So, basically i have improvement in rent managemen and gameplay.
Although there so many bots that dominate in Leaderboard. but i hope in this season i got in tp 25 Leaderboard Diamond.

here i have 1 battle that insteresting to learn and i want to share to you all.

In this battle i am using Grandmaster Rathe that for me this summoner is the best against the magic summoner or magic monster.
So lets go to the strategy phase and look out what i am pick and arrange okay.

In this battle i am using Grandmaster Rathe that have great ability to muffled the magic army. Because this summoner have abilities that make all monster have void armor and gives amplify to all monster and not just that even this summoner give additional 1 armor to all monster. So , the strategize is pick the monster that have reflect abilities as tanker and have some support that have repair abilities to cover the tanker that for sure. And guess what, in this battle i am facing against Legendary Dragon Summoner that is Archmage Arius

This Summoner is savage to that having enchance abilities to all monster that he brings.he is gives 1 additional to melee,archery,and magic monster that he brings.
So after we knew the opponent bring that summoner what i am pick to this battle?

First of all we need to know what the ruleset in this battle lets break down the ruleset and manacap first.

From this picture we can see that the ruleset is amplify and manacap is 36 and the element that cannot be used is Fire and Earth element. So, maybe both of us think that maximalize the ruleset amplify with monster that having Magic Reflect abilities, Return Fire abilities, and Thorns abilities so the back damage is greater because of the amplify Ruleset. But because i am using Grandmaster Rathe with this rule or not my monster also have Amplify abilities because of Rathe abilities.
So i am arrange my team like the table below after look what the ruleset and the manacap.

Monster	Ability	Position	Reason
Grandmaster Rathe	+1 Armor,Void Armor,Amplify	Summoner	I am using this summoner because with manacap 36 that great with Life element which the monster have low manacap to be used. And with life element monster that have so many effect that support with the ruleset amplify if the opponent using magic monster too. If the opponent using magic monster i have chance to win the battle with Grandmaster Rathe because of void armor and amplify and bring Monster that have complete abilities with Magic Reflect,Return Fire and Thorns.
Lord Arianthus	Shield,Void,Magic Reflect,Thorns	First Tank	I am using this monster because this monster have complete Abilities that very supportive with Grandmaster Rathe with Magic Reflect, Thorns, even this monster dont have Return Fire abilities but this monster have Shield abilities so it will so hard to be killed. And if the opponent using magic or melee damage it will be countered and get Amplified the damage
Divine Healer	Tank Heal & Slow	Support Healer	I am using this monster because this monster have Slow effect so adding chance that my monster not get miss the attack and I am using Tank Heal abilities so Lord Arianthus have chance to amplified the attacker and got killed it self while my monster besides Lord Arianthus can helping give the opponent damage.
Dr. Blight	Affliction,Camuflage,Poison, Scavanger,Weaken	Main Attacker	I am using this monster because this monster so overpower even with 4 mana because it have Scavanger abilties and camuflage abilities so it will still hidden and get more HP if another monster die and maybe this monster can be a tanker too in late game. Not only the scavanger that can make this Legendary overpower but the poison abilities itself make this monster so good in battle especially with low manacap
Adelade Brightwing	Flying,Repair,Ressurect, Immunity,Swiftness	Support	I am using this monster as key to get my battle deck stronger because with Ressurect abilities it will make the tank get chance to life again so it will amplified the damage more. Not only that repair abilities with Void Armor from Grandmaster Rathe is suitable combination in every battle. adding more the Swiftness abilities that make sure my monster getting low chance to miss attack.
Silvershield Assassin	Sneak,Double Strike,Poison	Second Attacker	I am using this monster as backup attack if the tank lost and killed until Dr. Blight as a tanker. With Sneak abilities it will killing the opponent from behind so if the opponent placing the attacker behind it will attacked by this monster. Not only that, this monster have Double Strike abilities and poison abilities that will make this monster very deadly and have chance poisoned the enemy with Double Strike abilities
Venari Crystalsmith	Tank Heal & Dispel	Support Healer	I am using this monster because of the Tank heal abilities and have high HP too if the opponent have the same strategize with me that having sneak monster.If the opponent have the same mind as me this monster will cover the back before get killed. and it will help heal Lord Arianthus too.

So after you read the explanation of my strategy what do you think the battle will go?
Is my strategy work this time?
Let's go to the battlephase aye

Strategy Phase

Lets go to the round 1

Round 1

In round one as you can see in the picture above the highlight in this round that opponent Dr Blight got killed because amplified damage from magic Reflect abilities. Before got there as usual first all monster get buff and debuff from both summoners and monsters.
Overall my speed got buffed and opponent got Debuffed speed and opponent did not bring sneak monster so my SilverShield and Venari Crystalsmith will be safe in first 2 rounds. And what make me luck is the opponent support is placing in the back so i am nothing wrong if bringing Silvershield Assassins this battle.
But in the other hand the opponent using Magic Reflect abilities too for the thank with Lobstradamus. If we compare the abilities it looks like same with Magic Reflect, Shield, and Thorns what make different is Lord Arianthus have Void and Grandmaster Rathe give void armor abilities.
First attack my Silvershield assassin give poison effect to Crustacean King and break the armor. So that makes the next turn will be death. After that all monster attacked each tank and got Reflected until as you can see the picture above. That will be make so much different of this battle because the opponent dont have monster that give Poison effect. Poison effect will make some of the battle table turn and give so much damage every turn.

Round 2

In round 2 my Team manage killing Lobstradamus and with Silvershield assassins Crustacean King got defeated and still give damage to Angelic Mandarin but unfortunately not give Poison Effect. And the opponent manage to killed my Lord Arianthus this time but got back up and ressurected by Adelade Brightwing so it will prolonged this round. The picture above captured after Lord Arianthus got ressurected and after ressurected both monster still attack each other but cannot killed anyone. So, in this round my Lord Arianthus got saved and can last longer to the next round.

Round 3

In early Round 3 my Venari Crystalsmith helping Lord Arianthus with heal it. That makes different right now that my team can give Affliction from Dr Blight and the opponent cannot gev affliction right now so Lord Arianthus can still be healed until got full HP and still can reflected all opponent attack because the opponent monster remaining Prismatic Energy and Gold Dragon which is all of the remaining monster is Magic Damage so it will be reflected by Lord Arianthus. After got healed my Silvershield assassins killed the angelic mandarin and miss the second attack to Gold Dragon. After that Prismatic Energy got Amplified Damage from Magic Reflect and my Divine Healer got killed too from Amplified Magic Reflect like in the picture above. After that Gold Dragon give damage to Lord Arianthus and have blast and give damage to my Dr Blight too.After the attack Gold dragon got amplified Magic Reflect damage too but it cannot killed the Gold Dragon. And the end of round 3 that my Adelaide Brightwing can killed Prismatic Energy and left Gold Dragon alone in opponent side.

Round 4 (Last Round)

Round 4 is the last round with just one touch from Venari Crystalsmith attack after Lord Arianthus got healed.

Grandmaster Rathe vs Archmage Arius

Conclution

So in my opinion based on my experience climbing Top 25 Leaderboard in Wild Diamond League you need bring Legendary Summoner as Grandmaster Rathe or Jacek or Possibilus. But if you got luck you can rent Lux Vega only and rent some summoner from all element with 4 mana or below. So if the ruleset is minion you are not to worry. If you bring Lux vega summoner only you need to complete the all element monster that suitable with the abilities from Lux Vega. But last day i am climbing Leaderboard i did not rent Lux vega because the rent is so expensive with around 1k Dec/ day. that will make me not profit renting the summoner that expensive. With so massive bot Lux Vega summoner got depleted and make expensive and hard to win from bot. But overall renting 5 element summoner is maybe same price with 1 card Lux Vega if the rent is 1k Dec/Day.
One more, Grandmaster Rathe is very fit and suitable to stopping Magic attack monster especially if you have tank that have Magic Reflect abilities,Return Fire abilities, and Thorns abilities. The amplified damage is very good for give counter attack to the opponent. and with Void armor the magic attack will attack the armor first instead penetrates the HP. In the end i am hoping i can get in top 25 Leaderboard in Diamond league again whatever in Modern or Wild League. Having 20k DEC as a prize is very good to provide capital to renting in 1 season to looping to get in 25 Top Leaderboard again. Maybe for the developer who reads this content please give some restriction for Bot that can read RNG calculate and deck calculate so human will not to angry if battling with bot and have reason to win if the cards are same. From what my experience even the human rent so many cards it is still lose to bot with always counter and have great RNG with miss attack.

In the end I am very thankfull for the reader that read my content hope you all enjoying this content, don't forget to upvote and leave comments. If you are interested in starting this game and don't have an account yet, you can use my referrals:
