Hello all Splinterlands friends,
This is my entry for the Battle Mage Secrets challenge.
This week's theme is the Rise of the Commons ruleset, so I want to share a battle with it.

The battle ruleset

41 mana cap - a low mana battle
Ruleset - Aim True and Raise of the Commons
Splinter - Fire/Water/Death and Dragon Splinter can be used in this battle

With these rulesets, I again chose to use Water Splinter in this battle. Because of Rise of the Commons, I cannot use my favorite monsters - Tide Biter and Musa Saline. However, it's a chance for me to use some Rare monsters that are under the dusk in my deck 😀

My lineup

Summoner		Kelya Frendul - additional speed and armor are essential in this battle to take the advantage in the game
1st position		Diemonshark - high armor, high speed with good health and attack. No one better than him in this position
2nd position		Flying Squid - it doesn't have *Flying* skill so I don't know why its name is Flying Squid. However, he has good damage and heath, with *Reach* ability so he deserves the 2nd position in this battle
3rd position		Deeplurker - one more melee monster. It has *Opportunity* so he can attack from any position.
4th position		Riverboat Captain - I don't use him so often. But *Blast* skill is a good skill to damage multiple targets
5th position		Swamp Spitter - a good range attack monster with the ability to repair armor for my monsters
6th position		Pelacor Bandit - a quick monster to attack enemy from backline

The battle

My enemy also chose Water Splinter with Kelya Frendul and all the monsters are at cap level. Diemonshark, Flying Squid and Riverboat Captain are also in the lineup, same as mine. But the difference came from Venari Wavesmith, Merdhampir, and Supply Runner. They want to have 2 additional armors from Protect to protect the monsters better and 1 more speed from Swiffness to give the early attack.
In round 1, all the monsters delivered the attack but no monster was eliminated. All of them still stayed strongly on the battlefield.
In round 2, both Diemonshark were faded out after taking a lot of damage. In another hand, my Deeplurker could kill Venari Wavesmith. It was a good sign for me because magic attack is more challenging more my monsters. On another hand, enemy monsters didn't receive the additional armors from Protect anymore
My team started round 3 with 1 more monsters than my enemy. My monsters also had higher attack stats than the enemy team. So my team had more advantage and could seal the winning in round 6. At end game, my team still had 3 monsters on the battlefield.
