Hello Splinters, I'm Lagnarok, and Welcome back to [my Weekly Battle Challenge](https://peakd.com/hive-13323/@splinterlands/share-your-battle-weekly-challenge-grund). The battle once again heated after a long time of placebo peace within the Pretoria Continent; even though this is a Peace period, War smoke is still looming in the air. To contain the cause of war, Life Splinter and Earth Splinter decided to restrict Armor usage and put the War Scale as Summoner's fight!

## Lore of Creeping Ooze
> For as long as anyone remembers, the fire mountain of Bren-Ha has spewed nothing but smoke and lava. Lately, from its cracks, a small Creeping Ooze has been seeping. It cannot be stopped and absorbs anything in its creeping path. To make things worse, it managed to board a boat and escape Mortis.

# The Strange Fluid
The Battle happened in the Ranked Silver League within Wild Format, They decided to limit Mana Allocation to 20 and No Armor allowed within the battle. This is the battle between Life and Earth Splinter, and the Death Splinter decides to join as the Jury to ensure all agreements are followed.

I decided to use Life Splinter since the Ruleset is Unprotected, and no monsters can't use any armor. With Lorna Shine as my Summoner, even if I didn't have Armor, I could still bless my Monsters with Holy Protection.

#### Battle Strategy & Plans
|Card|Ability|Plan|
|-|-|-|
|https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/dice/Lorna%20Shine_lv4.png|Holy Protection|Lorna Shine is a Rare Summoner from the Dice expansion pack. With No Armor allowed within this battle, I decided to use Lorna Shine; with her Holy Protection ability, all my monsters can ignore any attack once.|
|https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/reward/Lord%20Arianthus_lv2_gold.png|Shield, Void, Magic Reflect|Lord Arianthus is a Legendary Monster from the Reward Series. I don't know if this Lord Arianthus is a monster or Holy Relic, but this Lord Arianthus has the perfect ability to defend against any attack, I believe my Enemy will be annoyed with this Lord Arianthus as my Main Tank.|
|https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/reward/Creeping%20Ooze_lv4_gold.png|Slow|Creeping Ooze is a Common Monster from the Reward Series. Creeping Ooze is a strange fluid that escapes from Bren-Ha Fire Mountain and can slow enemy monsters. I hope with this Creeping Ooze unbuffed will let my Monsters start the battle first.|
|https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/chaos/Celestial%20Harpy_lv4_gold.png|Opportunity|Celestial Harpy is a Rare Monster from the Chaos Legion expansion pack. Celestial Harpy has a decent attack combined with speed, and low mana usage makes this monster very popular among Life Splinter users. With Sneak Meta, I hope this Celestial Harpy can finish enemy-dying monsters later.|
|https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/beta/Feral%20Spirit_lv5_gold.png|Sneak|Feral Spirit is a Common Monster from the Beta expansion pack. With low mana battle, I knew I should use this Feral Spirit because it has a decent attack and very nimble speed; this Feral Spirit is a perfect cute Assasin.|
|https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/beta/Elven%20Cutthroat_lv4_gold.png|Sneak|Elven Cutthroat is a Common Monster from the Beta expansion pack, Don't decide with her beauty because it can cost your life, This Lady is the best choice for low mana battle, and She has decent attack and speed too.|
|https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/reward/Uraeus_lv3_gold.png|Sneak|Uraeus is an Epic Monster from the Reward Series. This is the last monster I used for this battle. This sneak is very deadly. Combined with decent attack and speed will strike right into the enemy's back without them noticing.|

##### The Battle Process
A Single Image and Single Video are worth more than ten of thousand words.

###### Did my Strategy work?
I can say my strategy works perfectly. With no Armor protecting every monster, my Sneak Meta works perfectly and cleans the enemy from their backline, while Holy Protection protects my Monsters. 

This wouldn't work well if I decided to use Magic Meta since my enemy has Snipe Ability monsters while his Main Tank has Magic reflection ability. So, I am happy this battle flow as I expected.
