Hello to all Praetorians!
With just under 6 days till end of season, I got very lucky and reached Gold III League thanks to this match that I am sharing. This battle features LORKUS, the Legendary Fire/Death Summoner, against a level 4 OBSIDIAN. Both summoner gives plus 1 magic damage to all magic monsters. But since LORKUS costs 7 mana, he can also give the option for Battle Tactics. We can either choose to give 2 monsters Affliction (50% chance that the target won't be healed) and Life Leech (health increases each time it hits an enemy monster) ability, or Fury (does double damage to monsters with taunt) and Trample (when monster hits and kills enemy monster, does another attack on next target) ability. I chose Affliction and Life Leech ability for this encounter.

Ruleset: Keep your Distance(melee attackers cannot be used), Rise of the Commons(only commons and rares monsters can be used), 48 mana
Round 1. We both had similar strategy to deploy Taunt monsters at the back. But even though his MYCELIC SLIPSPAWN has more health, both of our Taunt monsters died after the opening round.
Round 2. He has trouble bringing down my beefy ULUNDEEN OVERSEER because of its high health and shield, while I was able to kill the QUILLIUN LEGIONARY.
Round 3. My 2 backline monsters are gaining health per round thanks to the Life Leech ability granted by LORKUS. Plus RIFTWING is also gaining health thanks to its Scavenger (gains 1 max health each time any monster dies) ability. Its not looking good for my opponent.
Round 4. With his GOBLIN PSYCHIC getting Afflicted, thus it cannot heal itself, and my monsters gaining health each round, the outcome of this battle is quickly turning in my favor.
Round 5. Since his front archer cannot attack, he basically has only 1 attacker left, and my RIFTWING still has enough health to absorb damage. Also, look how much health my 2 other monsters have accumulated after 5 rounds!
GG's to @ozq18 👍.
This win streak gave me just enough points to get to Gold 3 League for the first time this season. Which means I get to open some loot chests. As I only have 20k SPS staked, I did not receive a 10x reward multiplier 😤. The requirement is between 21k to 37k SPS staked for this tier.
Nice! An epic ARACHNE WEAVER. So far the only Death Unit with the Corrupted Healing (heals 1/3 health of allied monsters, but reduces it max health by 1) ability. I always try and pick this card whenever the Death Splinter is available, but in the last battle, only commons and rares were allowed. I also got 7 energy from these rewards, giving me the chance play this monster in the next battles.
I sincerely appreciate you sharing your time in reading my post.
