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

Within the Splinterlands universe, there has never been a Sure Fire, unbeatable, 100% win composition thanks to the versatility of the game and different Rulesets in each Battle. This is why having a strategy is a must in each battle!

Nevertheless, there are some Nfts or Monsters that offers a Higher Edge compared to other cards and would naturally counter many strategies.

One of them is the most Dominating, most hated by non-owners, a Mighty Summoner that buffs all allied monsters with the **Blast** Ability: **Yodin** ducking **Zaku**

Not only it gives the **blast** ability, but only buffs the *Ranged* Damage and gives some tankiness to those squichy units resulting in many dominating Victories

However, as I mentionned before, there is NO 100% win strategy and let's jump right into one of my battles to showcast how to beat that arrogant Fox!

So here we have a battle with *mid to low* Mana where only *Fire & Death* were available followed by the `Tis but Scratches` Ruleset.

Looking at my opponent history, I was 100% sure that he would put a Yodin Team into action!

With this heavy burden of defeating that Fox and a low Mana available, I decided to go as follow: 

|Card|Abilities|Description|
|-|-|-|
|https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/soulbound/Octavia%20Shadowmeld_lv2.png|**-1 Health** <br> **Conscript**|There was a couple of reasons: First to decrease my opponents health (nullify some of Yodin's buff) and second to use a gladius Card|
|https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/chaos/Riftwing_lv1.png|**Scavenher** <br> **Flying**|This is my bet on this battle, hope for my opponent to miss as much shots as possible thanks to its **high Speed** + **flying** <br> Evasion Rate VS 1 Speed Monster: 25% + 20% = **45%**|
|https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/gladius/Whistling%20Damon_lv2.png|**Bloodlust** <br> **Snipe**|My damage Dealer! Since I'm expecting to face Ranged Monsters, it'll be more effective to use a Snipe Monster and eliminate them ASAP! Indeed, procs the **bloodlust** ability for even higher Damage|
|https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/chaos/Silent%20Sha-vi_lv3.png|**Sneak**|Again Targeting the Weak backline and trying to eliminate as much as possible in a single round before firing their shots! |

That was a really solid Team on the Zaku Team and capitalizing on a heavy Ranged Team.
My only advantage consists of **Speed** so let's see how this battle infolds

# Round 1

![ezgif.com-video-to-gif (1).gif](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/cantfoldaces/23tknMUdSKD9wb8yxdUXW62EfXTiY6kKwE1x9WNpi7TrTK9HgjG3qRHq1sKGwULNHGh1C.gif)

- An Amazing oneshot from my Silent Sha-Vi reducing my opponent's Damage 
- And even more amazing **Riftwing** EVADING ALL HITS!! MISS MISS MISS!

# Round 2

The Speed Meta is Real :
- Silent Sha-vi takes over the Grandier
- Damon takes down Halvin Alcemist and proc **Bloodlust**
- Goblin fireball managed to land a hit of Riftwing after countless misses! 

# Round 3

- Another **bloodlust** for Damon after taking down Goblin Fireball 
- A clean hit from Silent Sha-Vi on the Fiend
- Only the Monkey is left only to be Taken down by the Gladiator **Whistling Damon**

# Post Battle Commentary
Speed is Key and I wouldn't have won the Battle if My monsters weren't first to Act. I daresay that the real MVP is **RIFTWING** for it's outstanding performance in *Evading* 90% of incoming attacks and protecting the backline from *Blast* backlash!

Ohh yeah should include to link to this battle:
