This week I brought a **Wild Ranked** battle where I had to play with a deadly ruleset, because everything will blow up. It requires a careful strategy and placement of monsters otherwise I can easily lost this battle. 😁

The mana cap was 55, which is quite a lot and allows me to use any monster that are available for this battle. The **Even Stevens** ruleset is a huge barrier when I am about to choose a monster, because it will halves the available monster pool, because it only allows the use of **Even** mana cost monsters. 😋 The **Keep Your Distance** ruleset is another heavily limiting factor setting up my team, because it means that no **Melee** attack monsters are available, so only the **Odd Mana Cost** **Ranged**, **Magic** and monsters without any attack type are in the pool. 😏 Even though these are quite bad rulesets the most important will be the **Explosive Weaponry**, because it will give the **Blast** ability to all the monsters on the battlefield, so essentially all of them will deal extra damage to the adjacent monsters of their target! 🤓

The **Helios Matriarch** is an excellent choice for this battle, because I will use an amazing **Dragon** to increase the attack damage of one of my monster who doesn't have any attack. She will also gives +1 **Speed** to all of her monsters and on top of that she will be able to bring one additional **Gladiator** monster into the battle if I want to do that. 😁

**Usut** will be my tank for this battle, because nobody can use any **Melee** attack monsters and he has a lot of **Health** with some **Magic** attack damage. He also has the **Bloodlust** ability, which means if he manage to kill his target he will increase his own stats by one. 😆

**Berix Snakeye** cost a a huge amount of 10 mana, but he is well worth its mana cost, because he also has the **Weapons Training** ability, which means that he gives +3 **Ranged** any non attack monsters next to him. That is pretty OP if you ask me. His **Void Armor** and hhis huge **Health** will protect him against Magic quite well and they can not ignore his **Armor** as they would normally do. 😉

The **Will-O-Wisp** cost six mana and in return he has 10 **Health**, which is very good to sustain quite a lot of indirect damage from the **Blast** abilities. He doesn't have any attack, so he is the perfect candidate to be trained by my two **Weapon Trainer** next to him. **Berix** and **Skok** will give him +2 **Magic** and +3 **Ranged** attack, which turns him to a very good damage dealer. 💪

**Skok Duskblight** cost 8 mana, which is quite a lot, but he also has the **Weapons Training** ability, which will justify his mana cost. He has +2 **Magic** attack damage, so thanks to his ability he will be able to give his attack to my non attack monsters adjacent to him. 😎

The **Clockwork Aide** doesn't have any attack on its own, so he is the perfect victim for **Skok's** **Weapons Training** ability to give him +2 **Magic** attack. He has the **Swiftness** ability, which will increase the **Speed** of all of his friendly monsters by one to give them a little bit of advantage to attack quicker than the enemy monsters. 😇

The **Revealer** cost only four mana, which is quite low for this kind of battle, but I had to use him because he has one very important ability, which is his **Stun**. This ability means if he hit his target their will be 50% chance to **Stun** it completely and he or she will skip his next attack. This is very important, because if it works the enemy monsters were lose quite a lot of damage. 😅

My opponent brought the **Helios Matriarch** as well, because he wanted to take advantage of the high mana cap and the **Dragon** monsters like me. He was also be able to use a **Gladiator** monster at the end of his backline, which has enormous **Ranged** attack. 😜 The monsters of my opponent was quite speedy, because he used the **Water** Splinter next to his **Dragon** Splinter, so most of his monsters attacked before mines, but luckily my mosters managed to kill their **Djiss Oshannus** just before the first round finished. Luckily the killing blow was made by my **Usut** who immediately increased his stats by one thanks to his **Bloodlust** ability. 💪 Our luck continued in the second round, because my team killed their **Chaos Dragon** as well and on top of that my **Berix Snakeye** killed their **Baakjira** as well using his **Oppress** ability, which will enable him to deal double damage against monsters that doesn't have any attacks. (*Especially if they got their attack from the **Weapon Training** ability*) 🤣 My **Usut** and **Berix** was about to die, because they had only one **Health**, but my **Will-O-Wisp** was quick enough to kill their **Berix** when the third round started. Right after that my team killed their **Kelp** as well and their only one monster **Ranged** attack monster fell into to the first position and was unable to fight from there anymore, so my team finally won this battle for me. 🤗
