<center> Hello everyone, This is @cantfoldaces participating in the Weekly Battle Mage Secrets Challenge, in the best #play2earn game out there!! #Splinterlands!! </center>

Obviously a hectic season, facing in and out Diamond+ level monsters and summoners and the battles are extremely rough, making it a relatively impossible to climb inless going for a massive Win Streak! 
On the other side, I'm trying to adapt on cards that would have a impact on most battles but sstumbles on how expensive their rentals are!

# Even Stevens 

https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/splinterlands/AK3aQbkZgDuPCNsTG8wyNXNowT7ykav5fQLFbqEB5rKndd3C2u5EXyiY48pRQS2.png

- Only units with even mana costs may be used.
- This rule does not apply to summoners.

In this kind of rulesets, while it seems simple at first, it's pretty challenging to ge through! 
Let's take *Death* as an example, most of its impactful monsters are Odd number Mana making it a weak Element to incorporate into the battle.
On the Other side, **Dragons** would be the most beneficial to go with since you have **2** Elements to choose from thus having more choices available

Without Further Ado, let's get starting:

- Low Mana Cap *18 Mana*
- ALL Elements available
- `Even Stevens` + `Born Again` Rulesets

It took quite to time to think of a team comp but decided to go the simple way:

# Summoner

https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/chaos/Kelya%20Frendul_lv4.png

Abilities: **+1 Speed & +1 Armor**

A usual go to for a Water Element Team especially in low Mana battles as it provides both the cricual speed in addition to extra protection that consists in Armor.
In addition, Water Element got many Even Mana Monsters that are truly impactful in the Silver League Meta! 

# Tank Position
https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/chaos/Diemonshark_lv4.png

Abilities: **Trample + Enrage** 

The best and most impactful Tank on the Silver League! It got a total of 14 hit points against Melee and Ranged Damage in addition to its decent Damage and Speed. But most importantly, it's abilities: **Enrage** will bump it damage and speed while **Trample** will lead to an extra deadly attack after a Takedown.

# 2nd Position

https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/chaos/Deeplurker_lv5.png

Ability: **Opportunity**

A more offense oriented Monster but its heavy Damage kit at 4 Damage + 4 Speed and a pretty decent Health. But even better the Opportunity Ability that makes it able to One-shot the weakest monster on the Enemy Team!

# Pre Round 1


![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/cantfoldaces/48HeVHfhcuspTVARHXZm7nAZTc9hmbPhEgnCrHBycJnWbmxFvsKTTXHZ7eu4WGpUYy.png)

I have to admit that the enemy team did a good choice placing many units into the battlefield and taking the `Born Again` ruleset into account since every monster should be eliminated twice! On the other hand, they are all squishy with no Armor Protection.

# Round 1

![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/cantfoldaces/23tkpMDCm2kcq4VuYkQHs7k9VvFqeLfi7aJULecM4KNUMXxcPB8NjbPHEtbsPHZq7j2cx.png)

- First it was a first takedown from Deeplurker on the Enemy Fiend that got born again 
- Then some hits and misses on my Diemonshark Tank while that magic damage from Dax made the latter enraged thus higher Damage and higher Speed! 

# Round 2

![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/cantfoldaces/EoAUWfX5mBEPMgXMsdsxGeuJB9yLmaxeL99EmDcKehPBdUbKMP6CHEodYeZZbcLneCQ.png)


- An Enraged Diemonshark hit fellowed by Diemonshark attack took the first Pelacor Conjurer Life
- While the enemy team didn't even manage to land half their hits on my Tank!

# Round 3

![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/cantfoldaces/23u5ZbqCb285bzmmat4us37KfoEReCXZckDvjWdZhYngFpepxktQ9ACTK89FgFbgZt3Tt.png)


- Diemonshark Took down Pelacor's 2nd Life while trampling into the Fiend and taking it down as well! 
- The Opportunist One-shot the small Harpy Fly! 
- So far Diemonshark is doing a tremendous job in term of offence and defense eveding all the upcoming ranged attacks!

# Round 4 

![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/cantfoldaces/23uEwyQqhftLtkEhi8GdtCQ5dzShtiroeYmNjtdZisuQhWAfWNLWfr9mGCZNwgw849yix.png)


- Diemonshark Took down Dax Paragon while missing its trampled shot on Celestial Harpy
- Deeplurker got the 2nd Dax Paragon life and the biggest thread to Diemonshark Health !
- Enemy's attacks connected (That Pelacor Arbalest attacks hurts) taking down Diemonshark BUT got ReBORN with all its initial ARMOR

# Round 5 

![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/cantfoldaces/23u5XXSYioXivVJCgRw5bXjWvryHxKyusjkM4N6mseYHYaazZ9ucr9MfDFuUpqtCg3vV7.png)


- Diemonshark is back stronger than even taking down both Celestial Harpy and the deadly archer Pelacor Arbalest!
- Deeplurker cleaning up the 2nd Arbalest Life leaving a lone Xenith Archer against 2 Powerhouses!

# Round 6: The End

- It didn't take long to take down Xenith Archer 2 lifes in order to clinch a sweet Victory and Gain **+33 Trophies & +0.77 SPS**

## After Battle Commentary

- While it's the *correct* way to put as much monsters on the `Born Again` Ruleset, having a couple of sturdy and offensive monsters proved to be extremely effective too! 
- It would've have been problematic if some kind of **Protect** was used making my monsters waste a ton of time to get through the Armor!
