Many players like to use Magic teams in Ranked Battles. I have received many questions how to defeat a magic team. Combination of Alric (+1 Magic Attack) and powerful magic monsters teams are not easy to beat. I like to use Bortus (-1 enemy's Magic) in anticipation of battle with a Magic team.
Bortus>Frozen Soldier is a good combination to counter Magic team as what happened in the following ranked battle > https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sl_dd839a46c9f43e5a5f545ffa0d5c3c9f&ref=coinshido-com
In the back line I like to use Water Elemental (fast attacker & Heal ability) and Sand Worm (Sneak ability) to eliminate opponent's Magic hiding at the back line.
