RANDOM BATTLE of the season (16#22)

• final battle of this season (anyone has the exact number?) - let's say #16 of the year 2022
  
  
• 21-35% chance of winning according to randomized simulation
• 1 miss for the loss vs. 2 misses for the win
• OWSTER ROTWELL's (un)deadly blows
• 1 HP cliffhanger

---

1. BATTLE!

• mental notes:
  • should avoid defending against ranged monsters
  • low mana cap might force to maximize swift attacks
  • "traditional" deck configuration without any fancy cards
    
    

• mental notes:
  • probably real opponent
    • plays leveled up cards
    • plays GFs, legendaries, promos
    • plays MYLOR CRAWLING, YODIN ZAKU

---

2. STRATEGY?

2.1 defender's potential selection

• 
  • broken arrow rules out YODIN ZAKU
  • prepare for TARSA = decrease melee attack
    • prepare for shield + opportunity = use thorns
• 
  • prepare for OBSIDIAN = decrease or reflect magic
  • prepare for MYLOR CRAWLING = repay with thorns
    • prepare for void/shield + tank heal = delete the back first
• 
  • unconsidered/underprepared
    
    

2.2 attacker's potential selection

• 
  • playing with too many starter cards = try to avoid losing focus points
  • small experience with low mana combos
• 
  • classic MYLOR CRAWLING vs. OBSIDIAN dilemma = omit both
• 
  • defend with ZINTAR MORTALIS + heal/thorns/shield = against TARSA, MYLOR CRAWLING
  • defend with THADDIUS BROOD or OWSTER ROTWELL + sneak/snipe = against OBSIDIAN
    
    

2.3 final decisions

@infri VS. @dusi

2.4 summary

• tackle earth and/or fire opponent (apparently for both of us)

3. WINNER!!!

3. #1 - elaborate uselessness

• whole idea with life leech went downhill, as well as sniping the back out one by one
• thankfully, thorns and magic reflect provided protection throughout the whole game

3. #2 - efficiency in inefficiency

• there was a really tight spot for BONE GOLEM to succeed or fail
  • crucial was the first miss and every other damage done
  • might have profited from being just a bystander (although maths say..)

3. #3 - clash of the brains

• outsmarting the game with OWSTER ROTWELL just brings joy to one's heart, haha

5. FINAL THOUGHTS

• i might not consider this as my first ever post on hive blockchain since it is very unplanned
• hopefully this activity will get my juices flowing for bigger things i have on my mind!
• this blog started as an epic match recap but emerged into a template for future posts
  • already got some ideas how to present in a more digestible, intuitive, fun to "read" way
    • better organized structure
    • updated visuals
