Now let's talk about the battle in detail how and where the monster attack on each other and what's the point where game has been changed. So let's go ahead.

**ROUND 1**

After gaining the power from their respective summoner, everyone rush on each other. But if you see even though I have only two monsters but they are very strong enough. So opponent take the move and attack on my monster but they just broke out the shield and damage a little bit, those attacks were defended by my monsters easily. But at the moment we cannot say who will win the battle because it was stuck in the between and no was eliminate from the battle, we both have all the monster present in the ground. All will be decided into the next round. So let's see what will happen in upcoming round. 

**ROUND 2**

Now if you see in the game that we both have all the monster in the battle. But hope so you remember the rule set of the battle. The rule set is POISON, so as per the rule set all the monster will get poison before the new round starts. And every monster present in the battle field will lose the health -2. So now at the moment if you see the health of opponent monsters it is already low. See the opponent monster's health they all are under 2, so as soon as the round starts before that they all get the poison. And out of 4 monster opponent lose 3 monster just because of the ruleset. My monster were also get poison but they were strong enough I have choose them according to the ruleset and their health I was already prepared for this situation. Even after getting the poison my monster were still having power to stand against the opponent. And at last opponent have only single monster left that too was weak, in against of my monsters. After getting the poison LORD attack on the last opponent monster and he also get eliminate from the battle. And everyone get knock from the battle in opposite side. Here I won the battle from my opponent. The battle was easy for me to win. 

The mistake that opponent have made is taking out the low health monster but in quantity, and on the other side I have choose only two monster but they were strong enough to attack and defend at the same time. I will always say first read the rule set because half of the game depends on their and plan or make your deck according to the ruleset. This will give you lot of benefit otherwise you will lose the battle just because of ruleset, as like in this game opponent lose without even fighting. Read the rule set and always try to take the strong monsters every time if possible in mana cost.
