Ambush the Mage

Hello Splinters, I'm Lagnarok. Welcome back to my Weekly Social Media Challenge. The Faction War became so brutal, with uncountable victims have fallen. Each Faction started to provide better equipment for their legions so that they could protect themselves and they wouldn't become a vain Cannon Fodder.

Tale of Lord Arianthus

While passing through the galaxy on his starship, the great and powerful Lord Arianthus noticed signs of life on a planet below. Apparently, monsters of all sorts were battling one another in endless competition. Lord Arianthus, enjoying battle and competition himself, decided to land on the little planet. He would show these puny monsters the meaning of defeat.

Ambush the Mage

The battle happened in the Silver League at the Ranked Match with Wild Format. The Battle details are Armored Up Ruleset with 38 mana caps allocation and equipped with the information on my enemy's 5 latest matches. I already have an idea of how I dealt with him.

I decided not to use Magic Mate; instead of it, I decided to use Sneak Meta with Byzantine Kitty as Summoner and Life Splinter; this will become the perfect Sneak Meta ever.

Battle Preparation & Strategies

CardAbilityPlan
+2 Speed, True Strike, Tank HealByzantine Kitty is a Legendary monster from the Untamed expansion pack; since I decided to use Sneak Meta and I will make sure my monsters hit the target perfectly without a single miss since a mistake will cost me a lot. For this, Byzantine Kitty True Strike Ability is the perfect combination, and as the Bonus, this Cutie will Heal my First position or my tank.
Void, Shield, Magic ReflectLord Arianthus is a Legendary from the Reward Series. Even though Lord Arianthus never fight back and hits the enemy, This monster has a very good ability to defend himself from the enemy; with Void and Shield Ability, Lord Arianthus is the best Tank for low mana battle.
Reflection Shield, ResurectionOshuur Constantia is a Legendary monster from the Riftwatcher's Promo Series. Oshuur Constantia is great support from Dragon Splinter. I decided to put him in the Second position just in case my enemy killed my tank in 1 round, so Oshuur could resurrect the tank back to buy more time for My Sneaker.
SneakStitch Leech is a Common Monster from the Chaos Legion expansion pack. Since I decided to use Sneak Meta, I have used Stitch Leech. I picked this Stitch Leech instead of Elven Cutthroat because have more damage while its speed is slow. With Byzantine Kitty ability, Stitch Leech attacks wouldn't miss.
Sneak, Double StrikeSilverShield Assasin is a Rare Monster from the Reward Series. Silvershield Assasin is a monster with Sneak, and Double Strike ability makes it very deadly. It would be dealt so much damage each turn, and with this, I believe she will ransack the enemy's backline.
SneakFeral Spirit is a Common monster from the Beta expansion pack. Feral Spirit is a nimble and cute cat. With his ethereal form, this Cat has speed very fast and combined with the buff from Byzantine Kitty, it's even faster.
SneakDumacke Exile is a Common Monster from the Rift Watcher expansion pack. With Dumacke Exile's Armor enemy's Sneak will take some time, and my backline will be safe for a while, but Dumacke Exile is not only for safety purposes, but its Damage is high too.
The Battle Showtime

Still, A Single Image & Video worth more than a thousand words.

Did My Strategy and Plans Work?

Yes, it did work according to my plans. The enemy makes his plans obvious since the 5 latest matches are using Magic Meta, excluding Water Splinter, which specializes in Magic, then the most reasonable choice would be Earth Magic Meta.

I knew the Enemy would be using Lord Arianthus too, which is I would put so much effort into killing it. That's why I decided to use Sneak Meta with Byzantine Kitty as my Summoner, as you see in my Strategy briefing. No Matter what, "@ArchitectK" still has grand plans to counter my Magic Meta. If I decided to use Magic Meta instead Sneak Meta, I would definitely lose the match.
