I played against TESHAV in ranked today. Mana cap was set to 44 and I had access to all elements. I played in Modern Ranked in Bracket I.
I wanted to win this battle so I chose Barthalamas as my summoner. With lots of mana available, I decided to choose 4 cards. Sometimes I like to switch up the cards I use in order to see how they do in battle. I wanted to try this new combination.
Match details
Mana Cap: 44
Elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Life, Death & Dragon
Modifier: What Doesn't Kill You (All units have Enrage which gives them +50% melee power and speed if they are not at full health)
The mana cap was 44 which meant I had enough mana to pick some strong cards. The modifier was What Doesn’t Kill You which made all units gain Enrage. When units aren’t on full health they gain extra melee damage and speed. This can make battles harder as your cards will be stronger once damaged.
I had to be careful with this modifier when choosing cards. I wanted to have a strong combo to help me win against the enemy.
My Cards
Summoner: Barthalamas
1st: Jolius Blast
2nd: Frankarsgard
3rd: Vengeful Monk
4th: Great Bear Druid
I have chosen Barthalamas as my summoner. My cards were Jolius Blast, Frankarsgard, Vengeful Monk and Great Bear Druid.
I had 4 cards in total. I chose to use this combo as I feel the cards work well together. The mana cap was 44 so I was able to use a good amount of mana.
Although I wasn’t 100% sure how well this combo would work against the enemy, I wanted to try it out. Sometimes changing up your cards can help you get a better idea of what works with what. I don’t like using the same cards every time in ranked.
Also considering the modifier, as cards gain extra melee damage and speed when damaged, I was interested to see how the battle went. Hopefully my cards will be able to take down the enemy.
Battle
I was playing against TESHAV in ranked. The enemy had a different combo of cards and I was interested to see how we both did.
The battle began and I was looking at my cards. I wanted to know if my cards were strong enough to beat the enemy. As there was a high mana cap of 44 I was hoping my choices were good and I would be able to create a strong team.
I always love seeing how different combos work in ranked. Sometimes using a combo I haven’t used much can give me a good outcome. Trying out different cards can be fun.
As the modifier was What Doesn’t Kill You I was interested to see how it would affect the battle. As cards gain extra melee damage and speed when damaged, it can change the battle. I was hoping my team would be able to use this to their advantage and keep battling.
I watched the battle progress. I was hoping to win again to help increase my rating. My cards were able to battle against the enemy and I was happy with how they did.
I got the win. I gained +40 rating which increased my rating to 960. I am still in division 8 but I also gained 110 Glint.
Looking into the future
My rating is now 960. I would like to play more ranked games and hopefully move up from division 8 soon. I am starting to get closer to the next division and want to improve my rating.
I will try out different cards and summoners in my next battles. Overall I am happy with this. I got the win against TESHAV and gained 40 rating. Hopefully I can keep this going and win my next ranked games!
