Using Magic Wisely in Counterspell Rulesets – My Strategy

@bhattg · 2025-09-21 18:26 · Splinterlands

Hello Splinterlands players, how are you? I hope your season is going well. There are still about 7 days left until the season ends. And I hope your season here will be amazing. I had some time today, so I played a few games. My gaming experience was good, as I won almost 12 matches in a row. That's a big deal for me. And my current game win ratio is 65%. Only time will tell how my season goes, and I hope you collect as many rewards as possible and achieve higher rankings. While there were a lot of interesting battles today, I wanted to share one battle that I found particularly impressive. I'll explore it a bit in the related rule set copy. I hope you'll learn something new from this post. Thank you.

As you can see, the battle mana cap was 52, and I could use all sorts of elements, which is great, and in Standard, you can use a lot of good cards, which I did. My ranking in Modern is still quite low, so I can't increase my Rewards that much with this army, nor will I be able to push my rank if I do, but I'm still happy, and I hope I'll have a lot more fun playing this game. You can read more about the reset below.

Rulesets:

  • Counterspell- All units have Magic Reflect (returns 50% of magic damage to attacker, rounded up).
  • Damage returned is equal to the damage of the attacker divided by 2, rounded up.
  • Magic units with the Deflect do not take damage from reflected magic attacks.
  • The Amplify ability increases damage.

And you can also see my summoners and monsters.

Summoner -:

  • Zeddica

Monsters -:

  • Commander Slade
  • Thraghun
  • Vengeful Monk
  • Arachne Weaver
  • Little Sister
  • Helheim Demon

Well, you've already seen the result: whenever a Maya Master attacks any other Opportunity card, it will receive a 50% return attack. So, if you use Magic cards, you should use them with the highest health possible in this ruleset. As you can see, my opponent was also using a lot of even better cards. My opponent didn't use any Magic cards because he knew that if he used them, he would take 50% damage after each attack.

I used three cards that were Magic monsters. See, all of them had some specific ability that helped me win, and if you watch my entire battle, you'll see how, despite having low health, their Arts supported me right to the end. Look, always keep in mind that whenever you deal your cards according to any rule set, your win or loss is decided at that time.

Whenever you start any battle, you must first have some knowledge about the ruleset. If you need to know about it, then you can win easily, and mostly it happens like this. If you master any rule set, or should I say you know which type of card should be used in which rule set, and which type of card should not be used. If you know all these things well, then you can easily win any game.

Yes, for this, you must have all types of cards because many cards perform very well on some particular rules. If you do not have those cards, then it can be a bit difficult for you. If you see, my opponent was also using very good cards. But see, in the end, the winner is the one who used good cards. It is often seen that in any battlefield, two kings battle and only one of them goes back. Yes, sometimes I get drunk, but usually only one goes back.

And this rule is followed everywhere. If you look closely at any battle, you'll find something important there. But even if you lose a battle, you can learn which rulesets to avoid next time, which cards to use, or which cards to use. You learn gradually only by practising. If you don't play, you won't learn anything.

I hope you enjoyed this battle. Please share your thoughts in the comments section below. Thank you.
