->I'm here today to discuss the intriguing battle rules and conditions that produced an exciting clash. This conflict included three unique rules, which added a dimension of intricacy and strategy to the fray.
### Rule 1: Holy Protection - Divine Shields for All:
#
The first rule that permeated this battle was the implementation of Holy Protection. This rule bestowed a divine shield upon every participating monster. This divine shield acted as a protective barrier, absorbing incoming damage and granting an added layer of defense to the creatures.
### Rule 2: Target Practice - Embracing the Snipe Ability:
#
The second rule that set the stage for this battle was Target Practice. Under this rule, all monsters were bestowed with the coveted snipe ability. This ability heightened the precision and accuracy of their attacks, allowing them to target ranged and magic-power adversaries with lethal accuracy.
### Rule 3: Even Steven - A Balancing Act:
#
Lastly, the battle was governed by the rule of Even Steven. This rule limited the usage of monsters to only those with an even mana cost.
### With a strict mana limit set at 40,
#
* I was compelled to meticulously craft my team, considering the mana cost of each monster in my selection. This constraint not only tested the tactical acumen of the players but also fostered an environment of balanced gameplay, as each contender was required to carefully manage their resources while assembling a formidable team of Water, Earth, Life, and Dragon summoners and monsters.

->I had anticipated that my opponent would rely on the widely renowned and frequently used rare water summoner, Kelya Frendul. Understanding the advantages that Kelya Frendul brings to a team, I made the strategic decision to employ her in my own arsenal. However, to my surprise, my opponent had an unexpected twist in store for me. Instead of deploying Kelya Frendul, they opted for the alternative rare water summoner known as Alric Stormbringer.
->The contrast between these two water summoners became immediately apparent. Kelya Frendul, known for her versatility, possesses the ability to bolster the speed of all friendly monsters while also providing them with an additional layer of protection through the addition of one armor. On the other hand, Alric Stormbringer brings forth a different strength to the battlefield. His unique power lies in amplifying the magic attack prowess of all friendly monsters under his command.
-> This surprise meeting with Alric Stormbringer serves as a reminder of the various summoner and monster strategies that exist. Each summoner boasts unique powers that provide various advantages to the creatures under their command. Adapting to such developments on the battlefield is critical for success, and this encounter reminded me of the value of flexibility and the need to modify one's approach when confronted with the unexpected.

->Djinn Oshannus played an important role in the battle, demonstrating his remarkable craftsmanship and varied war talents. Placing Djinn Oshannus in second place on my team proved to be a strategic masterstroke, allowing him to fully utilize his unique powers. His adaptability enabled him to counter the risks posed by enemy monsters with sniping skills. Djinn Oshannus's void ability is a potent defense mechanism that drastically reduces the damage done by hostile magic power monsters. Because he was in the second position, any opposing monsters with snipe skills would invariably attack him. Djinn Oshannus could successfully negate their strikes by doing so, because of his void ability.
->Furthermore, Djinn Oshannus had a fantastic speed rating of 6, making him a difficult target for the opposition team's ranged power monsters. Due to his quick movements and agile nature, their attempts to strike him would always miss. This precise planning was an important component of my overall strategy, which was designed to reduce the damage dealt by both magic and ranged power monsters in the opposing force.

->Among the monsters present on the opposing team, the one that posed the greatest threat to my own creatures was none other than the formidable Riverboat Captain. This fearsome adversary possessed a highly dangerous ability known as Blast, which proved to be a significant challenge for my team. Monsters equipped with Blast have the capacity to inflict damage not only to their intended target but also to adjacent creatures. Typically, Riverboat Captain wields 2 magic power, resulting in 1 health point being deducted from each adjoining monster. However, in this particular battle, the summoner's influence granted him additional magic power, thus enabling him to deal a substantial 2 health points of damage to the adjacent creatures.
-> In a cruel twist of fate, due to the snipe ability possessed by the Riverboat Captain, he directed his assault toward Djinn Oshannus rather than targeting Alva the Crusher. Consequently, the nearby monsters, namely Alva the Crusher and Feasting Seaweed, fell victim to the devastating impact of the Blast ability. Suffering a total of 2 health points of damage, Feasting Seaweed succumbed to its injuries and perished in this unfortunate incident. The inclusion of the Riverboat Captain in the enemy team significantly altered the dynamics of the battle. His enhanced Blast ability, coupled with the summoner's additional magical power, made him a force to be reckoned with. The unexpected change in target selection, aimed at Djinn Oshannus rather than Alva the Crusher, caught my team off guard and resulted in the unfortunate demise of Feasting Seaweed.

->Both the opposing team's monsters and my own team's creatures boasted the remarkable snipe ability. This ability, shared by the Riverboat Captain and others, imbued them with heightened power and effectiveness on the battlefield. However, it was precisely this snipe ability that proved to be the Riverboat Captain's undoing, leading to his demise in the early stages of the second round. The collaborative efforts of Djinn Oshannus and Sea Stalker played a crucial role in bringing about this decisive outcome. The snipe ability possessed by the Riverboat Captain, while initially granting him a considerable advantage, ultimately proved to be his downfall. This unique trait, which enhanced his potency and precision, made him a formidable force on the battlefield. However, it also made him a prime target for retaliation.
->The coordinated assault by Djinn Oshannus and Sea Stalker proved to be a formidable force, overwhelming the Riverboat Captain's defenses and swiftly neutralizing his threat. Their combined efforts unleashed a devastating blow, eliminating the Riverboat Captain from the battle and effectively removing one of the most potent adversaries on the opposing team.

The outcome of the battle had been predetermined from the start, with victory firmly within my grasp. My opponent's team was steadily dwindling, losing their monsters one by one, while my forces remained largely unscathed. The true star of this engagement was undoubtedly Deelplurker, a common water monster possessing the lethal Opportunity ability. In a display of sheer brutality, Deelplurker single-handedly eliminated three enemy monsters, leaving a trail of devastation in its wake. The only casualty on my side was Alva the Crusher, but the remaining members of my team emerged from the battle unharmed and intact. Deeplurker's prowess on the battlefield was unparalleled. With its cunning Opportunity ability, it seized every opportune moment to strike at vulnerable enemy monsters. Its relentless onslaught proved too much for the opposition, as one by one, their forces succumbed to its devastating blows. The sheer power and precision with which Deeplurker dispatched its foes left an indelible mark on the battle, solidifying its position as a force to be reckoned with.
As the battle unfolded, the tide turned decisively in my favor. The relentless assault led by Deeplurker instilled fear and despair in the enemy ranks, while my own team remained resolute and determined. The strategic advantage gained by leveraging Deeplurker's Opportunity ability proved instrumental in securing my victory. While Alva the Crusher fell valiantly in the heat of battle, the resilience and strength exhibited by the rest of my team proved sufficient to weather the storm and emerge triumphant.
